Speak Against O'Reilly & Rush

Over the weekend Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh lambasted Democracy for America and Brave New PAC for running the following TV advertisement asking why John McCain is hiding his health records:



Rush said, "These people will stop at nothing"

Bill O'Reilly called it "the most vicious political ad of the campaign."

O'Reilly, running scared, went on to attack MSNBC and their network executives for allowing the ad to air in the first place. Shortly after, NBC informed us that they were pulling the ad.

Evidently, O'Reilly is now calling the shots at NBC. Bill O'Reilly shouldn't get to choose what you can watch on television. Call NBC right now and tell them to run the ad.

Asking John McCain to release his health records is fair and legitimate. The fact that Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are on the attack is proof they don't want to know the truth.

If the traditional media lets wingnut talking heads like Limbaugh and O'Reilly control the agenda, we might as well throw any semblance of free speech out the window.

Call NBC right now. Tell them Bill O'Reilly doesn't speak for you. We stand with over 2,500 doctors who believe this important question should be heard. America has a right to know the answer.

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.
