Hit McCain Where It Hurts

from Democracy for America:

See the ad and help DFA run it in all 50 states! 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.

CONTRIBUTE $50 TODAY TO GET OUR AD ON THE AIR!

John McCain is reckless, erratic, and dangerous. Even his fellow Republicans think so, "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) told the Boston Globe. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

Yet McCain has a real shot to win this election. Recent polls put him either tied or in the lead nationally. Instead of focusing on the issues that will help get America on the right track, John McCain is using the Karl Rove playbook to scare voters.

It's time for America to hear from someone who served with John McCain. Dr. Butler has known John McCain for decades. Dr. Butler not only served with him in Vietnam, but was a prisoner of war with him at the Hanoi Hilton. Please watch the ad and then contribute $50 to help us cover the air waves with the truth.

CHIP IN $50 RIGHT NOW TO RUN OUR AD IN ALL 50 STATES!

There is too much at stake in this election to pull any punches. You voted to go on the attack. Now, let's put the people-powered resources of our over 725,000 members behind it and get America talking about why John McCain is unfit to lead.

Thank you for exposing the real McCain.
