Friend --
A few hours ago John McCain, the same man who just months ago promised to run a "respectful campaign," said he is "proud" of his latest attack ad.
John not running a "respectful campaign"?? That's the Pot calling the Kettle Black. Who first committed to public funding and then backed out by
crying foul? I'm sure McCain is very *proud* of his ad.
That's the one attacking your enthusiasm, comparing me to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, and making false claims about my energy plan.
The claims are 100% true. Attacking who's enthusiasm, mine?? I hardly think so. I see now you will use the keyword *attacking* throughout the rest of
the message.
Now, we're facing some serious challenges in this country -- our economy is struggling, energy costs are skyrocketing, and families don't have
health care.
Given the seriousness of these issues, you'd think we'd be having a serious debate. But instead, John McCain is running an expensive, negative
campaign against us. Each day brings a desperate new set of attacks.
Serious debate? You mean by rehearsing the "Change, Hope and Unity" Mantra or do you mean by always playing the race card which you often do?
I see you introduced another keyword - "desparate"
And they're not just attacking me. They're attacking you.
They're mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process.
Oh, I see. Now John McCain is again attacking our desire. How is he attacking me? No pal, it's just you. Oh, and how can we really "own" the
political process as you are suggesting. You always let us down by massive flip-flops and gaffes.
They're trying to convince you that your enthusiasm won't amount to anything -- that the people you persuade, the phone calls you make, the
donations you give, the doors you knock on are all an illusion. They believe that in this election the same old smears and negative attacks will
prevail again.
They're wrong.
So, you're telling me that John McCain and his campaign are trying to convince me that my *enthusiasm won't amount to anything* by attacking you?
All my hard work in promoting you will be no good now if McCain wins? Are you trying to make me feel guilty here? It will be an illusion? They'll
believe they won based on "old smears"? Hmmm.
And right now, we have a few hours left to prove them wrong in a very concrete way.
Make a donation of $5 or more before the July fundraising deadline at midnight tonight:

Great - tell me we only have so much time to respond and that you need my money or we'll miss the window of oppurtunity.
Do not make this attack on you personal for me Obama. It spoke more truth than you would care to know yet will find out come November.
