5. More info on this story:

Move America Forward, an organization that supports the war on terror, is leading a "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour of military families from across the country. The tour will culminate in a rally at Crawford on Saturday "to support our troops AND their mission in Iraq." What nobody wants you to know, however, is that Move America Forward is being run by a Public Relations firm out of Sacramento, Calif., with strong ties to the GOP.

This web site, "http://moveamericaforward.org", is actually an alias for "http://moveamericaforward.com". A DNS check done in November 2003 revealed that Russo Marsh & Rogers, registrants of record for the domain in November 2003, is a political public relations firm with strong ties to the GOP. Sal Russo, a principle in Russo Marsh & Rogers, served as advisor for the "Recall Grey Davis" campaign in California. The website that was launched at that time pushed a campaign to deter theater owners from showing Michael Moore's film, "Fahrenheit 9-11". A list of theaters committed to showing the film was provided along with exhortations to call and demand that the film be dropped.

Move America Forward also ran a television ad promoting John R. Bolton's appointment as ambassador to the United Nations in April, 2005, according to the Washington Post.

The PR firm also touts it's own abilities with regard to political campaigning on this site :

When it comes to winning elections, few firms can match the success of Russo Marsh + Rogers, Inc.

The experience of RM+R’s staff is one of the greatest advantages you get when you recruit the Russo Marsh + Rogers team of political professionals and campaign experts.

The principals and associates at RM+R have been involved in more than 350 campaigns at the local, state, federal and international levels.

In addition to our experience in almost every state in the nation and in countries such as Nicaragua and the Ukraine, the expertise of RM+R’s staff extends to every aspect of campaign strategy and design.

6. They're BOUGHT AND PAID FOR phonies

When is the American public going to realize that the only segments of the population in favor of this war are:

1. Bought and paid for, or

2. Mentally-ill sociopath/psychopath nutcases.

8. Assholes Don't Even Disguise the Obvious Imitation of Other Slogans

Well, you figure this whole thing was a fake immediately, because they "just so happened" to choose the phrase "Move America Forward," which is suspiciously like "MoveOn," confusing the issue, and "You don't speak for me Cindy," which is suspiciously like "Howard Dean speaks for me," confusing that issue. Obviously the cheesy work of yet another "strategic"-minded corporate Republican ad agency. Nothing but slogans; no popular support.
