This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message from
http://www.RightMarch.com .

ALERT: This is OUTRAGEOUS, and YOU are the one
to fix it!

Over the last couple of weeks, a lot has happened
regarding Iraq.

But two things stand out.

First, there was the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib
prison. Some aberrant soldiers got out of line...
and now they're having to face our justice system,
and pay the price for their illegal behavior. That's
how Americans handle wrong-doing. That's what makes
us strong.

The other incident that stands out was the brutal
slaying of American businessman Nicholas Berg by al-Qaeda
terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, apparently in retaliation
for the Abu Ghraib abuses. Al-Zarqawi was filmed
tortuously decapitating Berg while his fellow goons
shouted "God is great!"

Which of these occurrences do you find more despicable?
If you're a typical patriotic American, you were angry
at the abuses by a few wayward soldiers and glad they're
being brought to justice; but you were OUTRAGED at Berg's
beheading by brutal Muslim extremists, something that's
typical of the enemy we're facing.

But if you're a partisan Democrat or a member of the
liberal mainstream media (but we repeat ourselves), just
the opposite is true, at least if you go by the
statements of these Democrats and the coverage of the
media.

While Sen. Ted Kennedy's claims that "Saddam's torture
chambers reopened under new management -- U.S. management"
got broad coverage, liberal news networks and newspapers
gave only passing coverage to Berg's horrible murder.

Why? Because Berg's murder only proves that we really ARE
at war with terrorists, and that doesn't do anything to
hurt President Bush. The prison abuses, on the other hand,
can be harped on by liberals looking for an excuse -- ANY
excuse -- to body-slam the President and his team on the
war on terror.

Berg's grisly murder was news for maybe a day. The prison
abuses are STILL at the top of the page of the New York
Times and the Washington Post, and STILL the lead story
for Dan Rather and Peter Jennings.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, and WE need to do something about it.
We need to "stick it in the face" of the liberal media,
and prove to the "silent majority" of hard-working,
patriotic Americans out there, that that's NOT how most
Americans feel. WE NEED TO MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT.

And we've got just the way to do it.

Conservative Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) made a brief speech
on the floor of the Senate this past week, and he was BLUNT
about just this topic. He did his own "body-slamming" of
those he calls the "Hand-Wringers of America" -- just take
a look:

"Those who are wringing their hands and shouting so
loudly for 'heads to roll' over this seem to have
conveniently overlooked the fact that someone's head
HAS rolled - that of another innocent American
brutally murdered by terrorists. Why is it? Why is
it that there's more indignation over a photo of a
prisoner with underwear on his head than over the
video of a young American with no head at all?"

AMEN, Sen. Miller. We think that whole speech needs to be
on the front page of newspapers all across America... but
since we can't force that to happen, we CAN take out a FULL-
PAGE ad in USA Today *nationwide*, printing Sen. Miller's
speech and exposing the blatant hypocrisy of the liberal
media and the self-serving left-wing politicians who are just
trying to use this issue as a political "football". Well, we
don't think this is a game.

WILL YOU HELP US? Our members have come through before, when
we've raised enough money for nationwide full-page USA Today
ads defending the President and opposing radical left-wing
groups like MoveOn.org.

It's not cheap -- the rate for this ad is over $90,000. And
we can't afford to make this statement to the whole country
without YOUR help TODAY!

TAKE ACTION: If every one of our members gave just $30 or
$50, we could put that national full-page ad up *this week*.
But we know that many of our patriotic members just can't
afford to give that much -- so some of you might be able to
give more to make up for them, maybe as much as $100, $500,
or even $1,000 or $2,000.

But whatever you can give, even if it's only $10, we'll make
YOUR support for Sen. Miller's statement known right there --
in black and white -- in a full-page ad, distributed
nationwide in USA TODAY. From New York to California...
Florida to Washington... the nation's capital to every
single state capital... Americans everywhere will see that
they are not alone in their outrage at these murderous
terrorists and their apologists on the radical left, and
that the grassroots of this great nation support our
President, our troops, and the war on terror.

We're a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, so your contribution
is NOT tax-deductible. But we promise this: every dollar that
comes in to RightMarch.com for this project will be SPENT on
this project. If we don't get enough to pay for a full page
nationwide, we'll buy a half page, or a fourth page, or a full
page in a single region... whatever we can afford with what
you give. And if USA Today were to reject our ad (they DID
accept our last two full-page ads), we'll make SURE it still
gets out there in newspapers distributed across the country.

Help us take the next shots in our "battle strategy" to
counter the Socialist-led "blame-America" crowd. Go to the
site below to help us pay for a FULL PAGE natiowide pro-
American and anti-Left ad in USA Today:

NOTE: To read Sen. Miller's whole magnificent speech go to
http://miller.senate.gov/floor/05-13-04prison.html on his
Senate website. And we don't want anyone to be left out --
if you can't afford to give ANYTHING right now, go to
http://www.rightmarch.com/miller.htm to send a FREE message
to Sen. Miller, thanking him for his bold stand against the
forces of the Left. Be sure to forward this e-mail to everyone
you know who wants to FIGHT BACK against those in the leftist
media and the radical liberal Democrats who have confused
priorities just so they can fight Pres. Bush politically.
Thank you!
