TBTM offering Free Copy of "Rove's War" to Any Congressman requesting One
Please Tell all of your Congress critters, Senators, House members that You have contact with, that Takebackthemedia.com will send them FREE of charge a Copy of the 2 DVD set "Rove's War" for informational purposes! (one per customer, the Aides can watch it first if they want, but I would suggest the Congress person take the time, it will be well worth it)

One thing that I have found when dealing with Govt folks is that a lot of them LITERALLY don't KNOW what is GOING ON - It's SCARY.

They have Aides that are too busy dealing with details that may not see the big picture, or perhaps not even read the DU, which if they did they'd be WAY ahead of the game, just like US :)

So Spread the word please, tell Blogs, Websites, webmasters, who ever you can get through to Our Representatives that this offer is Available - the COMPLETE Chronology of the Plamegate Outing, with a nice mix of Waxman's hearing featuring Ex CIA agents, a smattering of Jon Stewart to make it FUN while they learn.

For the Press Release so you can let Your Representative know what's IN the film you can send them to http://www.takebackthemedia.com

There's no money in this for our site, we are doing this as a public service and to further the goal of the IMPEACHMENT of BUSH/CHENEY, the knowledge in the Congress as to WHY some folks are CROOKS, Thieves, Liars, etc and need to be JAILED - PLUS they will have the facts they need to fight the SPIN by the Right WING. It's ALL IN THE FILM.

Ask H2OMan who gave it a glowing Review and who many respect here tremendously.

This Offer Valid in all 51 States (the 51st being the State of Halliburton/Iraq :) ) - accept no substitutes, get only the REAL FACTS NOW.

Please keep this kicked for those that KNOW someone in the Govt, Let's go GET those Bush Bastards!

Man oh man that's sad.. Just about ready to get out of the biz here, spend a year making something that will DESTROY the Right wing spin and NO ONE CARES..

ARMY OF ONE protester, eh?

4. Thanks sweetie
and thanks for the kick as well --

If anyone wants to contact someone in the GOv or send ME a contact or post this on Indy Media or a blog and let me know I'd appreciate it..

I'm trying to keep this high profile at least until they FROG MARCH ROVE, and oh, yeah baby -- he's going DOWN :)

thanks my friends, I miss the old DU when people seemed to care more about actions and not just blabbing, I know that sounds harsh but something's missing here in a way, can't put my finger on it..

Like the ME generation invaded :)

Debbie, the awesome Carl Levin, and that horrible pug Mr. Milqtoast Ehlers who will never watch it, but he's getting an email anyway.

Edited to say THANKS.

12. Sort of afraid to send it to right wingers
just gives them the battle plan, more ammo for their spin machine..

I tell ya, I'm glad I'm not an evil bastard, I could give them ways to BS people that would make them appear perfectly decent..

For instance, the GERMANS WERE selling the Iraqis Centrifuges and everything they needed to use the 550 tons of yellow cake - and they probably DO have those centrifuges somewhere..

But NO, these idiots have to make crap UP.. if they'd used the REAL evidence *I* might have gone along with it - except for those "smart" bombs that seem to blow up the innocent guy or baby RIGHT NEXT to the "bad" guy..

Thanks folks - send them on over, I'll fix them up :)

Edited on Mon Nov-07-05 10:06 PM by vanboggie
Ehlers not smart enough to order one. Which is good since I already emailed his office. He never listens to me or any other thinking person in this area anyway.

I'm sure Carl and Debbie will enjoy a copy though :)


Edited to move insulting subject line to body lest Freepers are about.

Dying to hear from some folks, so far only H2OMan has posted his Review and it was a darn nice one, so if you need to use it to sort of tailor yours I can PM it to you :)

Kidding, hope you enjoyed it and invited some pals over, it's a two Orville Reddenbacher film :)

18. Done. Sent my $20 thru paypal, can't wait to get the DVD
I'll let my reps know about the free copy - hope they will take you up on it.

Could possibly John Conyers or Jim McDermott be a point person on this? I remember that Conyers presented "Deception Dollars" to congress awhile back. How about Cynthia McKinney?

We really need to get the word out while the issue is still live. Bushco will try to stall and distract long enough for it to seem like "old news". Let's put the spotlight on Rove right now.

19. Appreciate the support!
and yes Conyers IS the person that should be the point man - got an aide there that's not returning my calls, so I'm doing a work around which I'm pretty sure will get back to Conyers at which point he may look at the aide and say, "WHY didn't *I* know about this?" Since he's one of the "stars" in "Rove's War" as it's partially anchored around the Downing Street Minutes which are joined at the Hip with the Plame Outing IMHO..

And yes, NOW IS THE TIME to keep this highly visible, that's why I've been battling to get this Film a higher profile, if the media starts talking about a website having made a 2 DVD set about the entire Chronology then it's IN THE NEWS again :)

I'd like to have a Congress ABUZZ with this film, as it will be valuable to them as a learning aid - it's a hard subject to follow if you don't take the time, which is why I spent a year puzzling it out and reducing it to it's simplest form, much like I do with issues in my Flash political attack ads -- make it simple, informative and educational, but most important TRUE.

The right wing folds up like a lawn chair when you repeatedly gobsmack them with the FACTS, done it to them on TV and it's FUN :)

Appreciate all the help everyone, tell your friends that there IS a film that will make it easy to understand, the Media has done it's best to confuse this issue and keep the public wondering, hoping they will just shut their brains down, microchip overload style :)

20. Just a few more ideas on getting it out there
Here's just a few more possible ways to get "Rove's War" out there. Just suggestions, for what they're worth:

- Buzzflash Premium. contact Buzzflash http://buzzflash.com and see if they would offer it as a "Buzzflash Premium". They mark it up a bit, and use the extra to support their (highly important and free) site. Take a look at the Buzzflash Premium page http://www.buzzflash.com/premiums to see how they do it and what other types of things they offer.

- 911Truth Site. http://www.911truth.org They offer a wide variety of books and DVDs. Although their primary focus is on 911 Truth, they offer other material that is critical of the Administration.

- Amazon.com Marketplace. I don't think it takes much to get set up as a vendor, and then your items will show up in searches.

43. Just passed the info on to my Senators & Rep.
Here's noping they will each request a copy!

Informed my Rep's office that the DVD included footage of the DSM hearing that he was unable to attend due to the extreme amount of activity in the House that day... his staff member said that he's involved in the WHIG investigation, so here's hoping he especially will want a copy. (Think... Democratic Congress 2006, followed by impeachment!)

45. YEAH BABY
I can SEE it happening.. I sort of have "visions" or feelings, and the minute I heard about the DOwning Street Minutes the little voice said, "THIS IS IT.." and so I begged for donations to go film it, and then added it to the RoveGate scene I'd been researching..

NOW we have the sweep, Bush literally in the toilet.. this is EXACTLY what I've been saying since DSM, before that I thought the end was near for our country..

BUt this WILL happen, as Mark Twain said, "History doesn't necessarily Repeat itself, but it RHYMES.."

Yeah, I was there that day, FRIST had made sure it was a BUSY day for them - there was literally a Hundred of them coming and going constantly from that little room in the basement where the hearing was held.. I've seen larger bathrooms in BARS..

I was actually FIGHTING for space, tho when I went there to film I was under the impression that NO ONE was going to cover this Important event, maybe CSPAN 3 -- THEN when I got there the room was FILLED with cameras - so some of my shots have ELBOWS battleing for space :)

Thanks so much for passing the word - send them H2OMan's review if that will help.. sometimes you have to write them three or four times and be a pest I've found..

Great news!

31. You know I can't say no to you :)
just make sure that you denote exactly WHO the Congress Critter is you want it sent to and you got it..

Remember what I said before tho, if these get sent to the Congress folks direct address they will spend time languishing in their post office being sprayed for anthrax and sniffed for gunpowder, etc (and rightly so, especially if it's a DEMOCRAT since THEY have always been the ones that the Anthrax killers SEEM to be drawn to - the Republicans get foot powder and CLEAR the room :) )..

So I don't know WHEN your Rep would get the film, but I'll send it, that's for sure, I want them to SEE this - looks like everyone loves it so far, and it sure makes me Proud to hear that since I busted my buns on this puppy..

Good idea, and that would help me with costs, these thing don't make money really, but I like for them to pay for themselves at least, more of a public service I'm doing here :)

I LIKE the way you THINK :)

36. It's mostly time and labor generating them now
the shipping is a cost to consider, as well as the cost of the DVDs themselves, sleeves,etc..

I think I can swing it, won't have to sell my car or anything, but it's VERY important for those that want the low down on ALL of the lead up, WHO was involved in WHAT and WHERE and WHEN, etc..

Just like in real NEWS, like "reporters" used to do :)

I think this will ARM the newly SPINAL NON CHALLENGED DEMs, and help those that have always fought the good fight, like Conyers, Waters, etc, etc..

thanks for the ideas and support on this - should maybe start an "Adopt a Senator Who Needs ALL the Facts on Plamegate" and get folks to Send them to their "leaders" :)

40. I could buy 2. One for Durbin and one for Obama and pay for the
shipping and throw in a few bucks for others? Would that help? Do I buy them on your web site? How would you know it was me buying for Durbin and Obama? OR, have them shipped to me and I mail them to the Senators? Whichever is easiest.

41. Why pay shipping twice on these?
If you indicate WHO you want them shipped to on the Paypal option then I can find their address and ship it off as part of the donation from here - instead of mailing it to you, and then you mailing it --

I'll even put YOUR return address on it so they know where it's coming from and a note inside telling them it's one of their constituancy wanting them to see this, get the education, know the facts, etc..

Just another shipping/handling for me - plus you could PM me the address/name if you wanted, and any note I could print that out and include it.

Pretty easy really, and a good idea - ADOPT A SENATOR/RESPRESENTATIVE!

THanks for the support :)

38. I know there's no reason for anyone to have done this
but did anyone happen to save or have the link to H2OMan's "Review" of "Rove's War"?

He wrote this wonderful paragraph and I want to send it along to someone in Conyers' office along with some of the quotes here, but can't find his "Review" to save my soul - no search options..

Can't even located it through Google matching.

If for some silly reason someone has it I'd sure appreciate what he said - miracles do happen, people collect everything online :)
