They had no problem with swift boat ads, or Sinclair broadcasting blacking out tributes to the Americans who lost their lives in Iraq, a war based on a lie

How can we win, when we cannot even get the message OUT?

1. Take it to the shareholders. Buy a share and bring it up at the next
stockholders meeting. Ask why the management is pissing off revenue for POLITICAL reasons. MAke a motion bring it to a vote.
BE THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

2. Transcript of the Drake ad
MoveOn.org Political Action TV :30 "Red Handed - Energy" Drake (VA-02)

VIDEO OPEN ON A FOLDER. WE SEE THE NAME "THELMA DRAKE" ACROSS THE FRONT. DRAKE'S HEADSHOT IS PAPERCLIPPED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE FOLDER.

CUT TO THE INSIDE OF THE FOLDER, NOW OPEN, ANOTHER PHOTO OF DRAKE. THEN WE SEE PHOTOS OF OIL TANKERS AND REFINERIES, FOLLOWED BY PHOTOS OF GAS STATION SIGNS DISPLAYING VERY HIGH GAS PRICES. WE MOVE THROUGH THE PHOTOS EDITORIALLY- LIKE SNAPSHOTS TAKEN OF THE FOLDER.

AUDIO ANNOUNCER (VO): Congresswoman Thelma Drake. She accepted more than thirty thousand dollars from energy companies, and she voted against bills that would have penalized those companies for price gouging.

VIDEO CUT TO A CLOSE UP OF PHOTO OF REP. DRAKE. WE MOVE IN CLOSE ON HER RAISED HAND. A SPECIAL EFFECT DRAMATICALLY STAINS HER HAND RED.

AUDIO ANNOUNCER (VO): Instead of protecting us, Congresswoman Drake has been caught red-handed, protecting oil company profits while we pay more at the pump.

VIDEO CUT TO SERIES OF BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS WITH PHOTO-JOURNALISTIC FEEL. FIRST TOM DELAY WAVING. THEN DICK CHENEY WITH BOTH HANDS RAISED. THEN JACK ABRAMOFF WITH HIS HAND UP, BEING SWORN IN. THEIR HANDS ARE ALSO STAINED RED.

AUDIO ANNOUNCER (VO): Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Jack Abramoff. And now Thelma Drake. Another republican caught red handed.

VIDEO CUT BACK TO IMAGE OF REP. DRAKE WITH RAISED HAND STAINED RED. SUPER FULL MOVEON.ORG POLITICAL ACTION DISCLAIMER.

AUDIO ANNCR (VO): MoveOn.org Political Action is responsible for the content of this advertisement.

4. Its clear why they wouldn't air it.
It told the truth.
Think it is time for Move On members to boycott MSM critters that ban them.
