Dear MoveOn member,
Here's the situation: John McCain and Sarah Palin are repeatedly
deceiving, manipulating, and flat-out lying. And polls are showing that
some of those lies are convincing voters.
Palin says she opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere"--when in fact she fully
supported it. McCain says Obama wants sex-ed for kindergartners--when he
voted for a bill to protect them from sexual predators.1 And Swift Boat
style groups are literally accusing Obama of consorting with terrorists.
If we don't get the truth out to voters in key states, now, we could be in
serious trouble. This is one of those moments when all of us need to pitch
in. Can you help? Click below to chip in $25:

Ads cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce and even more to get
on TV and in front of voters. We've been working around the clock
producing and testing scripts, but we need to know that we'll be able to
get these ads made and on the air.
In the last few weeks, this race has gotten really ugly, really fast. A
few months ago a top official from the infamous Swift Boat group said they
were planning to go after Obama hard. He wasn't kidding.
Over the last week alone, Republican groups have announced over $15
million in ads against Obama in critical states (and that's just from one
news report!).2
We need to fight back.
To pull this off, it's going to take all of us working together. MoveOn is
each and every one of us--we don't have big corporate donors--just
millions of us chipping in what we can to build a better future for our
country. Can you chip in?

Now is the time to act and call McCain's bluff--if this stuff goes
unchallenged it will cost more lives in Iraq and prevent this country from
making progress on critical priorities like health care, clean energy, and
education for potentially decades to come.
Thanks for all you do.
