Can we get a list of newspapers that have already endorsed Bush? I think they would be our best bet for coverage of these items. _________________ ETN2 PTF2 (Littlecreek Underwater Demolition Unit 2 1963)

It's been stated here on the boards that Drudge isn't interested in 'ancient history' where Kerry's military records are concerned. Send him the link, but don't get worked up that he doesn't do anything.
Now, if there's pressure building in other arenas, then he'd probably cave and do a link.
As for the local GOP offices - DON'T BOTHER CALLING THEM! This is NOT their responsibility! Any type of this communication should go through the national GOP, not the local offices. They want to stay on message with the national GOP.
So - contact the RNC! Pressure should be applied there, not scattered across the spectrum. The local GOP offices are up to their a**** in allegators - they don't have the time, energy, staff or the charge to handle this stuff.
CALL the RNC! EMAIL the RNC! _________________ MJB

Since when do the OIM (Old Irrelevant Media, pka, MSM) gang up on a party, candidateor individual? Whatever happened to an independent, honest, fair and just media? Are they willing to admit political manipulation? This is part of the outrage! _________________ '58 Airedale HMR(L)-261 VMO-2 |

And again - CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN!!! Pressure needs to be applied from across the country.
CALL THE WHITE HOUSE!!! Register your displeasure - again as noted before, polite, short, to the point - and add an action step. "I would like the President to do X about this issue."
Don't wait for the mainstream media to make this happen - we need to make this happen! _________________ MJB

OK, I just went to the GOP website and called. I choose Communications as my voice mail option - I did reach a very nice young woman who assured me they knew about the story, but are trying hard to "get several stories out there."
When I told her my husband and I are emailing, calling the news stations, etc. she thought that was great "we really need your help in getting the word out" was her comment.
They know - but it's up to the mainstream to catch what they toss out.
Also - they have to follow the guidance and direction of the President and his senior advisors as to what messages the campaign is going to push and when...
So...again, let's call the White House and our congressional representatives and apply pressure. _________________ MJB

I just sent it to my Congressional Representative Sam Johnson (3rd Texas District) and demanded he take immediate action. Perhaps that's what we need. If you don't know how to contact your representative, try this:

This new revelation on Kerry will not get much attention by the MSM because most of the Left probably see nothing wrong with this collaboration with the Communists. These are the same people that LOVE the (socialists)communists and hate America for being such a “bully” in the world.
Many Americans have lost their history. They are not required to learn it in school and in fact most schools are teaching revisionist history anyway.
So, whether the MSM is covering up for Kerry or simply pushing their own Left agenda, this collaboration with the enemy will not be seen by most on the Left as doing anything wrong. After all, America was wrong for interfering in the “civil war” in Viet Nam and therefore…………in their twisted logic…………any “true” American would want to get us out of Viet Nam as fast as possible. The ends always justify the means in this rationale.
Kerry is an apologist of the strength of America. He, like many others, are socialists at the core, believe in the socialist system, and do not trust that the average American can climb up the ladder of success without the help of the government.
The MSM is part of this same mind-think, part of the problem, not the solution. The schools are cranking out the same mind-think. Many people buy into this.
Fortunately for America……… not all.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling but this has been festering inside me for a long time.
I wonder what kind of negative revelation regarding Kerry would ever be covered by the MSM???
Communist puppet? Nope……..”He was helping the good people of Viet Nam get out from under the thumb of the imperialist America”.
Dishonorable Discharge? Nope………..”Nixon gave him this because Nixon was the worst president in history and after all………it was Nixon’s War”. (Revisionist history)
So, I agree that the plan of attack is the following:
We must cover all the local papers with “letters to the editor” and other local means in the key states and cities.
We must blanket the airwaves with the supportive talk show hosts.
Hopefully, some honest reporter as we had with the embedded NBC reporter will come forth.
And………..a side note, we must keep this site open regardless of the outcome next week. Either way, we must continue to act as the clearing house for TRUTH. |
I have to agree. The MSM including many of our newspapers are a lost cause as far as this election goes. You could find a picture of John Kerry cutting off someone's head and they would ignore it. |

OK, here is the White House web site: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
Here is the phone number for the comment line: Comments: 202-456-1111
When I got on the line I didn't press any numbers - just waited for an operator. When an operator came on the line, she wanted to know what state I'm calling from. I told her Minnesota, said I think the President is doing a great job and I'm working hard here in Minnesota to help make it happen. But - I had read this morning in the NY Sun (said the name of the paper in case she was transcribing what I said word for word) about the NV communists influencing John Kerry's antiwar activities and I'm outraged!
I wanted to encourage the President, Karl Rove and the other strategists to his this issue hard - who's to say when the communist influence faded away - or what if it hasn't faded at all?
Anyway - if 100 people call the White House today (keeping in mind the stats I gave you earlier) - that will be SIGNIFICANT! _________________ MJB

He's in the tank for Kerry. That's my working theory, anyway. |
Any evidence, doesn't appear to be on the radio show, admit I don't hear it every time. Please fill me in. |
Evidence? It's not the nature of the evidence, it's the seriousness of the CHARGE! Or the timing of the leak.... Evidence doesn't mean anything anymore, and hasn't since the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, the OJ trial, Iran-Contra, or the Clinton Impeachment.
Personally, I think Drudge has *another* dress squirreled away, and is waiting for a good time to mention it on his site. But that's just another working theory.... _________________ USMC 69-72, 7th Comm, 3rd MarDiv, FMFPAC
