Debate Alert - E-mail from the Kerry-Edwards Campaign
Democrats.org

Posted on 09/30/2004 10:57:52 AM PDT by tjwmason

Dear ...,

Tonight, don't let George Bush's henchmen steal another victory. We need your online help immediately after the debate, so save this email, print it out, and have it ready with you as you watch the first Presidential debate tonight.

We all know what happened in 2000. Al Gore won the first debate on the issues, but Republicans stole the post-debate spin. We are not going to let that happen again, and you will play a big role.

Immediately after the debate, we need you to do three things: vote in online polls, write a letter to the editor, and call in to talk radio programs. Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the difference.

Vote


National and local news organizations will be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online polls at these national news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:


And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV stations for online polls. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes immediately following the debate.

Write


Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If you feel John Kerry commanded the debate and had a clear plan for fixing the mess in Iraq, put it in your letter. If you feel George Bush dodged tough questions on Iraq and didn't level with voters, put it in your letter.

With just a few clicks, you can write your letter at our online media center:

Call


Do you listen to national or local call-in shows on the radio? How about on TV? Call them and let them know what you thought of John Kerry's plan to keep America secure and George Bush's continuing refusal to admit the truth about his record.

Here are some national shows to get you started. (All times are Eastern.)


Find shows in your area on our media website:

http://www.democrats.org/media/find.html

Your actions immediately after the debate tonight can help John Kerry win on November 2. Make your voice heard!

Don't forget to visit our 2004 Debate Center before, during, and after the debate for important information, including questions Bush must answer, a Bush/Kerry contrast on keeping America safe, and Bush Debate Bingo, a game you can play with friends during the debate.

And after the debate, check your email for a very special message.

Thank you,

Terry McAuliffe
Chairman

PS: Make sure to forward this email to at least 10 other people who will be watching the debate. Also, give printed out copies to your friends, family members, coworkers and neighbors and get them involved.

And simultaneously, FNC announces that the Kerry Kampaign is cheating. After agreeing to the presence of timing lights, they are now planning to come to the debate center and physically remove them.

George Bush's henchmen

You can always count on Terry McAuliffe to do his part to elevate the tone of the election. Class all the way, that Terry.

...which has already been written to declare John Kerry the winner by a large margin.

Yeah, just like Al Gore won the popular vote but Bush won the Electoral College. The Dems have become quite fond of symbolic victories over actual ones.

The Republicans "stole the spin" after the first 2000 debate?

I wish someone had told that to ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, the Times, the Post, the Trib, Newsweek, US News, Time and USA Today at the time. All those sources seemed to feel that Vice President Gore had won the debate decisively.

I'm guessing that they think this will be huge tonight, eh? Hmmmm... :) We shall see. It's kidna funny actually... like they're giving out their tactics to us before they even begin. I don't get it. Anyone else understand the Kerry camp?

I'm convinced the DNC wants Kerry '04 to lose so that it will be Hillary '08
