Tell The F.E.C. To Slam ABC/Disney Over Their Docu-Fraud
Tell The F.E.C. To Slam ABC/Disney Over Their Docu-Fraud

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/pnum493.php

Although they have gone out of their way to only provide previews to extreme right wing media pundits, those who have see parts of the new ABC/Disney "docu-drama" titled "The Path To 9/11" report it is rife with lies and distortions with the purpose of wrongly blaming the 9/11 catastrophe entirely on Democrats. Despite cosmetic edits one right-wing blogger was assured, "The message of the Clinton admin failures remains fully intact." So there you have it, a Swift Boat level hatchet job, with the premediated purpose of trying to pin political blame on the party out of power for the total failure of George Bush to protect us on 9/11.

Who was it who sat there with a stupid look on his face reading a children's book while America was under attack? Who was it who blew off warnings by his CIA briefer that Bin Laden was determined to strike in the United States with a dismissive, "All right, you've covered your ass, now?" Who was it who held not one meeting on the terrorist threat despite urgent warnings with their hair on fire that it was the greatest peril the country faced.

It is a disgrace that the same media, that has with incessant misinformation persuaded half the American public that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, should now try to lean on the scales of the upcoming general election with their whole arm, propagating more knowing lies for partisan political ends.

Since the broadcast represents nothing more than a FREE multi-million dollar political advertisement (as betrayed by being previewed only to extreme right wingers), and a deceptive and slanderous one at that, ABC/Disney should be ordered to cease and desist, and the F.E.C. should step in and enforce that.

The one click form below will send your personal message to the F.E.C., ABC and Disney, with the subject "Stop ABC/Disney From Tampering With Our Election Discourse." At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/pnum493.php

This alert is brought to you through the activism of Stacey Tallitsch, running for the U.S. House in the 1st Congressional district, and one of the leading progressive voices in the state of Louisiana. Many of you have already submitted his action page calling for the troops in Iraq to start coming home now, a policy that is more surely correct with every passing state of emergency in Baghdad.

Stacey has been running call to action radio spots in this district , calling for an end of the obstinate occupation of Iraq, a military escapade which has brought nothing but death and destruction to both their country and our own. And he has produced a new one on the impeachment issue. You can hear the new spot on this page.

RADIO SPOT DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/donations.php

Nobody can predict how a particular race will turn out. But we know that the spots we ran on impeachment had tremendous secondary impact, as TWO other groups were inspired to run their own call to action ads on this issue as a result of the investment we made in this action. If you are able to do so, please make whatever donation you can to continue the stand we are taking on issue after issue.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do so at http://www.usalone.com/in.htm

Or if you want to cease receiving our messages, just use the function at http://www.usalone.com/out.htm
