a less than classy ad during the announcement of Kennedy's dealth on CNN
Family Research Council posted an ad of some seniors decrying the use of federal funds for abortion on CNN. Told them to call Sen Bob Casey's office.

1. Fearmongering is all they have - this death won't change that...
What Kennedy's passing SHOULD do is inspire our side to grow a set and get the people's work done.

2. That's what Ted Kennedy would want.
He would want us to fight even harder now. We must see that health care reform passes, and it's something that Kennedy himself would have been proud of.

Hopefully his passing will make some Democrats remember what they're supposed to be doing, and remind them that they have a limited amount of time to do it. We can't just keep putting stuff off for tomorrow, as Joe Lieberman suggested. Some things transcend time and money.

America needs health care now...for everyone.

3. Sounds More Like Your Cable Company
If you're in PA, good chance that "ad" was paid to your local cable operator...part of the millions being showered on the "media" to distort and destroy any reform.

4. I'm pretty sure that Sen. Casey won't be intimidated.
From what I've seen and heard from him so far, I think that he is squarely on the side of Health Care Reform. A lot of PA. is still controled by the God, guns and anti-choice crowd. But since he replaced
their poster-boy (Santorum), I do have a little more hope that people in this state are waking up to the scare tactics and lies from the repugs.
