OK.....I'm about sick and tired of the Win Without War / MoveOn.org folks getting so much free press on all the radio shows and news networks. I've tried and tried and tried to no avail to get some of the more targeted media outlets to at least mention our counter site of http://www.moveover.org (MoveOVER.org), which, unlike their site, is what it says it is: A site to show our President we SUPPORT him. Their site hides behind the veil of anti-war, but if you read through the various areas, they are SOOOOOOOO Anti-Bush it's embarassing.
Will anyone help out......
Let's email some press folks and ask them to give us Fair and Balanced time -- at least a mention of http://www.moveover.org (MoveOVER.org).
Here's a few addresses:
oreilly@foxnews.com; hannity@foxnews.com; foxreport@foxnews.com; special@foxnews.com; rush@eibnet.com; foxfeedback@foxnews.com; boortzshow@cox.com; wolf@cnn.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I appreciate your efforts, CB. Those communists are pretty good organizers, aren't they? But I believe they will fail dismally in their attempt to disarm us instead of Saddam. All the polls have consistently revealed 2/3 of the public supports regime change, a fact that won't be wasted on Congress.
The invasion of Iraq is a done deal.

The difference between those who support the President and our Troops is that we have jobs and can't spend 8 hours a day participating in such "actions".
That is certainly not the case for all of them but if you have time to send e-mails and make calls all day you need a job.

They are indeed good organizers, but it helps to have a bunch of spoiled rich Hollywood 'movie' stars in your corner and enough money to plaster ads on various cable news networks. Sadly, their attempted cause was also helped by all the news discussion about their endeavor.
Me....I don't have those resources . . . they say they are just word of mouth -- well, I really am :) They are word of mouth via media outlets that won't mention our site.
I agree that the invasion of Iraq is a done deal, but keep in mind that our site is intended to be there for the LONG HAUL . . . throughout this endeavor and the next and the next -- as long as we support the direction President Bush is taking, that site will be there sending signed showings of support to the White House on a daily basis.

Not sure if you last line was intended for me or the moveon.org folks. If me, I'll just say that I don't have the time to send emails all day. I work full time as a webmaster and am politically active in the village in which I live. About to take it over as a matter of fact LOL :)

The last line was NOT directed at you but at the "I have too much free time on my hands and need to claim I am a victim crowd".

An "online headquarters" was unveiled last week, hosted by Win Without War affiliate MoveOn.org. Just a friendly reminder to all that Moveon.org was the original "Don't impeach Clinton" site.
They really have nothing to do with current events or anti-war, or anything else. They are simply anti-Bush, and are awaiting the triumphant return of AlGore. If Bush were against going after Iraq, they would be running their Denial Of Service attacks advocating the opposite.
In other words, it's just a tantrum.

You're right! But did you see this thread?
9 Virtual March Protesters were just relieved of their jobs here at my company.
