If someone has this e-mail, do you have the balls to post it? I think it would bring good conversation!
This would apply to a rebublican e-mail also......

Internet Activism is nothing new. Freepers are notorious for it if they didn't outright invent it. (Though I never heard about erasing cookies...
does that work?)
Honestly, most Dem blogs steal the list of polls from FreeRepublic or change the e-mails we get. Any worthwhile political activist get's the
oppositions mailing.
This hit the Dem blogs on the 5th from the Bush campaign mailings.

I wrote in my Guardian column today that the Bush campaign would make adjustments from its spin performance last week, and wouldn't be caught
flat-footed again. It looks like I was right.
Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman blasted this out to its email list this morning:
Dear XXX,
The debate tonight presents a tremendous opportunity for the campaign to attract undecided voters, but people's perceptions are shaped as much by
their conversations around the water cooler as by the debates themselves.
The Vice President's goal is to do what he's been doing throughout this election: explain to the American people why the President's policies are
right for America and the world we live in today - in fighting the war on terror, in keeping our economy growing and in responding to the new
challenges of the 21st century.
After last week's debate, the Kerry campaign spin machine managed to mask their candidate's flip-flops on the war in Iraq, imposition of a "global
test" for protecting America, and repeated denigration of our troops and allies.
If we plan to win the election, we must fight back against their spin and make sure our friends and neighbors get the truth.
We need your help tonight!
Visit www.GeorgeWBush.com/DebateFacts tonight during the debate so you will have the facts. Print and share them with your friends.
Immediately after the debate, visit online polls, chat rooms, and discussion boards and make your voice heard. The major news networks will all have
internet polls after the debate. Make sure you vote in polls on:
MSNBC.com
FoxNews.com
ABCNews.com
CNN.com
and even CBS.
Make sure swing state voters know why you support the President by sharing your thoughts on message boards in target states.
Call Talk Radio shows in your area.
Write letters to the editors of your local papers.
Visit Chat rooms on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo!
Send this message to 5 friends using the form at the bottom of this page.
Beyond tonight, you should return to these forums in the coming days and make your voice heard and your support for the President known.
If someone asks you a question about the President, direct them to the campaign's website, www.GeorgeWBush.com. It has lots of information on the
President's Agenda for America (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Agenda) and the President's record of accomplishment (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Record).
We have said before, there is no better messenger for this campaign than you. There is also no more powerful medium for political discussion. As one
of our online activists, you realize that.
Make your voice heard by completing the actions above.
We caught them off guard last week, in their moment of pompocity and arrogance. Now we're playing on equal footing, so it's doubly important we all
engage.
It got forwarded all over the place I'm sure with
changes, not to mention jokes about
our pompocity and arrogance.
But the cookie thing notwithstanding, self selected polls are self selecting...not scientific.
Anyone with any sense knows what's going on and uses them to measure party ground game.
And frankly the Democrats are kicking Freeper butt this year.
But with some polls going 100,000 to 20,000 for Edwards knowing Republicans got the same list. There's more to this than partisanship.
People like Edwards. They don't like Cheney. Get over it.
