Tell The Media: NO on Valerie "Plame", YES on Memogate!!!
It is outrageous that the media continues to focus on the Valerie Wilson "Plame"/ Robert Novack "non-story", while they ignore the illegal actions exposed by the Democratic memos leaked to the press by patriotic Senate staffers.
The Democrats have been caught, red-handed, forsaking national security for political gain and illegally filibustering qualified minority judicial nominees for political gain. The media has ignored these stories. Enough is enough!
Here are a few simple steps you must take to express your outrage and get the word out.
1) Open the "Write for W" webform for a simple "letter to the editor" submission form by clicking here.
2) Compose a Letter to the Editor telling your paper to stop beating the dead "Plame" horse and to start covering the real stories (memogate and judgesgate). If you are short on time, here is a sample letter you can use (remember, original letters that are short and sweet are best):
Letter to the Editor
As a United States citizen, I am outraged that the media continues to focus on a non-story -- the naming of a CIA analyst whose identity was no secret to begin with -- while all but ignoring two of the most important stories of the year. The first is how the Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have been caught plotting to use the awesome power of that committee as a political weapon against the president, forsaking national security for political gain. The second story is how the Democrats have been caught selling filibusters to powerful left wing interest groups, unconstitutionally filibustering well-qualified minority judicial nominees to slavishly please their ideological allies. Instead, the media has focused on the Democrats' deceitful tactic of blaming the Republicans for catching them!
This is outrageous and despicable -- merely further evidence of left wing media bias. The media will run with any story that hurts the GOP, but when the Democrats are caught jeopardizing the safety and security of every American for mere political points, there is a blackout. Despicable!
3) Now send your letter!
Thank you!
