Subject: Spread the Word: We're the Majority
Dear MoveOn Member,
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the Bush Administration is brilliant at marketing. No Presidency has relied more on careful messaging and media placement. The folks that are working for Bush are so good at this that if you watch the news, you get the idea that everyone agrees with him.
Of course, we all know that that's not true. Most Americans are quite wary of the war on Iraq, and a whole lot of us see the President as playing a cynical election-year game. The problem is that without the attention of the media, this dissent is hard to see -- ordinary people don't hold press conferences to tell the world what they're thinking.
That's where we need your help. We've put together a placard that you can put in your car window.
You can download the placard for free at:
<http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/>http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/
If everyone who's worried about Bush's plans votes on November 5, we can engage in a little "regime change" of our own. The good news is that a majority of the people in this country are concerned. But that doesn't matter unless they voice that concern at the polls.
If enough of us download these, print 'em up, and stick them on our car or in our windows, we can begin to create a culture of engagement and patriotic dissent. We'll amplify our voices. We'll help to elect the candidates who can help us out of this mess. And we'll help to fire the ones that are on board for Bush's endless war.
Wes, Peter, Joan, Carrie, Doug and I have been showing the poster above to our friends and colleagues, and people really like it. Wes, Joan and Carrie already have put them in their car windows. Peter and I put 'em in our windows at home. The poster is funny and important. Now we need to get this message out there. We've made it easy to download the placard and print it out -- just go to:
<http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/>http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/
With your help, we can out-market the masters. After all, we've got more people than they do.
The countdown continues,
--Eli, Wes, Joan, Peter, Doug and Carrie
