Dear Friend,
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:
ABC News: http://www.abcnews.com/ CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/ CNN: http://www.cnn.com/ Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/ MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/ USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/ 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.)

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.
How does McFullofit know Kerry's going to win the debate?
Terry forgot to add: DON'T FAX ANYTHING!!!!
Here is a man desperately trying to hold on to a job. Good riddance, Terrance. We will miss you.
This is so pathetic as to be funny. People do not need help determining who to vote for after a debate. It is amazing how dumb liberals think the rest of us are. (Actually I do not think Terry is a liberal just an opportunist with no real core values except power.)
Terry is wasting his time. The networks and the talking heads will instantly claim that kerry won the debate. They don't need any urging.
In fact they've already discussed this with McAuliffe, and he's given them their talking points.
It's built in. Their knees will jerk.
From Kinko's.
I didn't see the email at the URL - if you received this as email, can you please forward to FoxNews, Hannity, Rush, etc. ? (heeheehee...)
So Macauliffe is saying if enough people who watch Kerry lose tonight, email the media that he won, the rest of us who watched him lose will agree?
What a pathetic plan.
Everyone Here should use Democrats.org, to write their letters to the Editors, and Say, I am a Registered Democrat,However......
"Henchmen"??? That's "henchpersons," pal!
He is doing what he is accusing the Republicans of in 2000.
And this is ethical in his world? The others in his party agree? What a message to send.
If you send this email to more than 10 people, the little taco bell dog will appear on your screen and do something funny!
Terry is as dumb as ever, he needs to remember to check with his clinton handlers before putting his foot in his mouth.
I sent it to Drudge
Thanks for all the great ideas, Terry. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.But Terry, what do I do if, after the debate, I feel that President Bush ground sKerry into hamburger and made dog treats out of him?
His plan, like most of the RATS plans, is very shallow. Hard to believe he's encouraging folks to vote in online polls. They mean NOTHING! LOL.
