bump....... keep them checks a rolling, rawhide......
To the Bush/Cheney campaign of course.......
All - A friend of mine is on MoveOn.org email list to follow what the enemy is doing and just received this. Check out the bottom of the email. This is an obvious coordinated message since the Kerry campaign approved the message (see end of email) which we believe is against the law! What do you think?

Subject: Send Kerry a message before his deadline
Tomorrow night marks a critical fundraising deadline for the Kerry campaign. Send him the message that progressives support him and want him to fight for our values by contributing now at:
Dear MoveOn member,
Fahrenheit 9/11's record-breaking box office sweep this weekend is just the latest indication that times are changing. A new poll released this morning finds President Bush with lower job approval than at any time in his presidency. Thanks to your hard work and inspiring activism, we stand a better chance of firing George Bush than we ever have.
This is the moment for us to send Kerry a powerful message, one he'll want to hear. The more we show Kerry that real people with strong, progressive values are key to his success, the more strongly he'll fight for our values as President. Of course, those values include everything from opposing Bush's policy of endless war to making sure our kids have a real chance at success -- through good schools, affordable health care, and a strong economy.
Given a critical fundraising deadline tomorrow night, it's an especially good time to reinforce that we value this kind of leadership from John Kerry. Help send this message now by giving to his campaign through the link below, which will track donations from MoveOn PAC members and put a progressive stamp on our funds.

Already, we may have had a dramatic impact, encouraging Kerry to stake out a leadership position. Not long after we called on Kerry to go big, he released a bold new health care plan that would provide coverage for millions of Americans without health care.
Just a few short months ago, as the primary season drew to a close, few people thought that John Kerry could match George W. Bush's massive campaign war chest, filled to the brim by Bush Pioneers who each raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from their wealthy friends.
We have proven that conventional wisdom wrong. Small donors, hundreds of thousands of us, have helped ensure that John Kerry's campaign to beat George Bush is competitive. And our small donations have helped the Kerry campaign get a strong message out to undecided voters across the country about Bush's failed policies and Kerry's own plans for America's future.
Contributions from grassroots activists like us have helped shape the course of the 2004 campaign and have changed political history. We have shown that the average college student, senior citizen, or working person contributing $25 or $50 can have a real impact in a presidential election campaign.
And through our dollars, as donors and supporters, we are sending a message about the new direction we want for our country and the kind of progressive message and issues we want John Kerry to emphasize in his campaign, and in his presidency.
The next few weeks will be the Kerry campaign's last opportunity to accept and spend individual donations. After he accepts the nomination at the Democratic Convention on July 29th, he is legally obligated to begin the Presidential Public Funding period, and will have approximately $75 million to spend to run his campaign between August and November. After July 29th, his campaign will no longer be allowed to accept or spend individual contributions from the public.
Because the Republican Convention begins nearly a full month after the Democratic Convention, George Bush and the Republicans will have an extra month to raise and spend money attacking Kerry. While Kerry will be at a distinct disadvantage in August, contributing today -- and inviting others to join us -- will help minimize the effect.
That's why the Kerry campaign needs your help today. If you can, please consider giving $25, $50, $100 or more today at:
