E-Mail I JUST got from Howard Dean...
Dear X,
The 50 State Turnout
Find Event
The 50 State Turnout

Did you know that, on our web site alone, a quarter million people just like you sent letters to the ABC network about the right-wing 9/11 propaganda film they aired?

The mobilization you were part of is part of a new attitude for the Democratic Party. We're not going to be pushed around, spun, or defamed by right-wing extremists or those whom they use to disseminate their propaganda. You stood up and held your ground.

This powerful showing by Democrats who refuse to be duped or smeared created a firestorm of controversy for ABC and its parent company, Disney. It drove down ratings, mangled their promotions and gave their leadership one serious headache -- a stark lesson that will make television executives think twice about becoming vehicles for propaganda and outright false claims about Democrats.

But we're not just mobilizing online. We're mobilizing on the ground in every single state across the country. As we near the November elections, our 50-state strategy operation is being transformed into a 50-state get-out-the-vote effort, and we need your help.

1. See, this is what the AFA and other religious nutjobs have been doing
They have been doing exactly this.

The only difference is they dump their energy into punishing nipple slips during Superbowl broadcasts and indecency.

We used it to attack rightwing corporatist propaganda.
