Dear xxx,
The debate tonight presents a tremendous opportunity for the campaign to attract undecided voters, but people's perceptions are shaped as much by their conversations around the water cooler as by the debates themselves.
The Vice President's goal is to do what he's been doing throughout this election: explain to the American people why the President's policies are right for America and the world we live in today - in fighting the war on terror, in keeping our economy growing and in responding to the new challenges of the 21st century.
After last week's debate, the Kerry campaign spin machine managed to mask their candidate's flip-flops on the war in Iraq, imposition of a "global test" for protecting America, and repeated denigration of our troops and allies.
If we plan to win the election, we must fight back against their spin and make sure our friends and neighbors get the truth.
We need your help tonight!
Visit www.GeorgeWBush.com/DebateFacts tonight during the debate so you will have the facts. Print and share them with your friends.
Immediately after the debate, visit online polls, chat rooms, and discussion boards and make your voice heard. The major news networks will all have internet polls after the debate. Make sure you vote in polls on:
MSNBC.com FoxNews.com ABCNews.com CNN.com and even CBS.
Make sure swing state voters know why you support the President by sharing your thoughts on message boards in target states.
Call Talk Radio shows in your area.
Write letters to the editors of your local papers. Visit Chat rooms on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! Send this message to 5 friends using the form at the bottom of this page.
Beyond tonight, you should return to these forums in the coming days and make your voice heard and your support for the President known.
If someone asks you a question about the President, direct them to the campaign's website, www.GeorgeWBush.com. It has lots of information on the President's Agenda for America (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Agenda) and the President's record of accomplishment (www.GeorgeWBush.com/Record).
We have said before, there is no better messenger for this campaign than you. There is also no more powerful medium for political discussion. As one of our online activists, you realize that.
Make your voice heard by completing the actions above.
Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman
P.S. If we plan to win the election, we must fight back against the Kerry campaign's spin and make sure our friends and neighbors get the truth after tonight's debate. We need you to complete the actions above and send this message to five friends using the form below. Will you help us beat the Kerry spin machine?
Nope...this email is 100% real. I also received this from the GOP.
A little late, aren't ya (post 32, 36). . .try to keep up, Sparky.

"This man ran away from Congress and hid at home on the morning of 9/11/2001. The capital building posed too great of a target for Edwards to stay there."
Well, granting that Edwards is a Wienerius Maximus, a person would be a fool to stay in the Capitol building under those circumstances.
Standing your ground against a plummeting airliner is not courage, it's Darwin Award conduct.
Late? Usually. But, always a dollar short ;^D
Firemen went INTO the WTC on the morning of 9-11-2001.
It is called a job and a responsibility. John Edwards lacks the character to lead this nation.
**** HIT THESE POLLS AFTER THE DEBATE... AND FIND MORE POLLS! ****

I agree with all that, except that standing in the path of probably death for no reason is not equivalent to what the firemen did. What the firemen did had a purpose and took courage. Staying in the Capitol building that morning would have been futile and dumb.
It seems that the rest of Congress remained there. Kerry discusses his time with the other Senators as they watched the news and were later taken to a secure location.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't nuclear attack plans involve getting the legislators out of Dodge and to a safe(r) place ASAP? Continuity of government, and all that?
Seems to me the same principle would apply when the weapons are airliners.
"and were later taken to a secure location."
That sounds to me like somebody fell down on the job. I would like to imagine myself reasoning in an instant from the facts at hand to the conclusion that the Capitol building should be evacuated immediately. I'd hate to think that I would be as overcome by events as Kerry confesses he was.

It wasn't until the plane hit the Pentagon that some people realized DC was also a target. Pilots thought that plane was still in the air when they were communicating with air traffic controllers.
This is part of what the 9/11 hearings were over.

I'm not sure what your point is there.
