Is Obama going to allow 527's

just in case it's yes here's one...

Help us get this aggressive, hard-hitting ad on the air! Your contribution means that our targeted ad buy will reach more voters in more states -- ensuring that more Americans learn the truth about the real John McCain.

On Monday, Jim asked if Democracy for America should join Brave New PAC in running a nationally televised ad exposing John McCain.

The answer: YES!

Over 79% of DFA members said go for it. Our ad, "Unfit to Lead", is aggressive, powerful, and it's the truth. You told us loud and clear that you wanted DFA to hit John McCain where it hurts. Now back up the vote with action.

There was a report that says he's quietly, behind the scenes, giving approval to these 527s to run ads. If this is true it's a violation of the rules.

I never understood why he ever discouraged them.

he needs other voices speaking on his behalf.

I just received he above in the mail.

But he can't coordinate with them either.

it's so costly to try to save ourselves and our country from complete destruction.

Quietly, Obama Campaign Calls In The Cavalry(527's)
Tue Sep-09-08 02:22 PM

There's been a spurt of 527 activity on behalf of Sen. John McCain, but Barack Obama campaign has suddenly gone silent on the subject.

That's because, after of year of telling donors not to contribute to 527 groups, of encouraging strategists not to form them and of suggesting that outside messaging efforts would not be welcome in Obama's Democratic Party, Obama's strategists have changed their approach.

An Obama adviser privy to the campaign's internal thinking on the matter says that,with less than two months before the election and with the realization that Republicans have achieved financial parity with Democrats, they hope that Democratic allies -- what another campaign aide termed "the cavalry" -- with come to Obama's aid.

..............But they've shied away from larger-scale campaigns in part because they believe -- or believed -- that the Obama campaign did not want them mounted.

why can't we run ads that BITE BACK???

YES. WE. CAN.

However, it's probably better if they're not specifically traced back to Obama approving them.

He needs to remain ABOVE THE FRAY.

Keep the faith. Hold the Vision. ....even as we resort to running fear-based ads ourselves.



Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.
