Moveon: "Stop the Politics of Terror"- time to let your voices be heard on Moveon's dime! (Vanity)

[God luvs America]

Moveon has sent out the following e-mail:

Dear MoveOn member,

It was like a starter's pistol went off. Ned Lamont wins and the next day Republicans are politicizing a terror threat with outrageous comments. Dick Cheney even said Connecticut voters were supporting Al Qaeda.1

They can't get away with that and, with voters angry about Katrina and Iraq, we can expose Republican posturing on security if we hit back hard.

This week newspapers will print letters to the editor about last week's terror threat. If thousands of us write letters we can remind the public that five years after 9/11 the Republicans have made us less safe. Can you take a moment to write a letter to the editor of your local paper? Our tool makes it easy, all you have to do is click below:

This moment is critical: public reaction will determine whether the administration can get away with blatantly politicizing terror threats. If we respond hard, their strategy will backfire, and the debate will shift to Iraq and the other ways they've made us less safe.

The opinion pages are the most popular pages in the newspaper, and if they're flooded with our letters, we can help shape public opinion. It only takes a few minutes to write a letter and even if your letter isn't published it encourages the editors to publish letters that tell our story.

And our story is important to tell—both to protect America and our democracy. Here are some key points to discuss in your letter (all of them are listed in the online tool too).

Five years after 9/11, the Bush administration has failed to keep us safe.

The war in Iraq has diverted attention from protecting America from terrorism. This past week 9/11 commissioners said Iraq is distracting from security at home.

The war in Iraq has inflamed the whole Middle East and is helping Al Qaeda attract new recruits. Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose.

Katrina showed all of us that the Republicans aren't able to protect America at home. The Republican Congress hasn't followed through on the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. Republican political attacks during last week's terror threat are outrageous. This is the critical moment when a letter to the editor is important. Hundreds of newspapers around the country are examining what happened last week. Can you write one?

There are more than 3 million of us who are part of MoveOn. If each one of us just does a little bit it will add up to something really big. Please write a letter today.

Thanks for all you do.

------------------------------

let's use their tools to fight the battle...here are some idea's...

Compose a two or three sentence letter talking of how the administration has in fact kept America safe...

1-mention had the Bush doctorine been in place during the 90's rather than the policy of appeasement, events like 9-11 would've never happened..

2- talk of how nothing motivates people more then success and successful attacks at places such as Khobar Towers, the African Embassy's and the USS Cole emboldened terrorists more than anything presently happening in Iraq today.

3- remind them of the total hypocrisy of the rats- the same people who today complain of "the politics of fear" have for fifty years told their base, "vote Republican and you'll lose your welfare....lose your medicare...watch your churches burn...

Write the letter once then copy and past it to as many newspapers as possible...

Post your letters in this thread so others can use them and copy/paste into other LTE's...

btw: if you want to hit the New York Slimes punch in the zip code 10021...

Yes, let's go back to lobbing cruise misles on aspirin factories between bj's.

and better yet they published the Rat's talking points for all to see...

• Five years after 9/11, the Bush administration has failed to keep us safe.
• The war in Iraq has diverted attention from protecting America from terrorism.
• This past week 9/11 commissioners said Iraq is distracting from security at home.
• The war in Iraq has inflamed the whole Middle East and is helping Al Qaeda attract new recruits. Osama Bin Laden is still on the loose.
• Katrina showed all of us that the Republicans aren’t able to protect America at home.
• The Republican Congress hasn’t followed through on the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.

Just look for them in the paper and troll posts here.

Subject: Democratic response to terror

Body: Please support Democrats like Moveon.org, DailyKos and Democratic Underground. Our sterling move to the left will ensure that losses by Democratic candidates will be massive in November and in 2008. Please help bring back the party of George McGovern. Democrats want this, so please help make it happen. Warm kisses to all those hateful terrorists.

Hot DOG was that fun! I hope we cost Soros plenty and make all the libs madder than hornets! I feel better now than I've felt all day

[Rome2000]

Democrats are unpatriotic weak on defnse socialist crook sex pervert baby killers who encourage our enemy and are engaged in an active attempt undermine our will to fight and win the war.

Some of these traitors need to be stood up against a wall and shot, just like their hero Fidel is fond of doing.

[FreeRep]

With the defeat of Joe Lieberman, the Defeaticrat Party has shown that it has been taken over by the extreme left. The election force the Dems to return to their ‘cut and run’ cowardice roots.

Katrina showed all of us that the Republicans aren’t able to protect America at home.

Schmucks! How can the President of the United States stop a hurricane from hitting land? While they're at it, why don't they ask "School Bus" Nagin why he has the buses running to get people to the polls on election day but not to get people out of town when the storm came.

[TexasGus]

HELLLLO!

Bush is responsible for ALL METEOROGICAL ACTIVTY as he has refused to join the cult of global warming. Hurricanes, tornadoes, melting glaciers, cold European winters: ALL ARE ON GWB'S WATCH!!!!

The fungus growing beneath your Azalea is GWB's fault as well. Stop being so ignorant.

Liberal Democrats voters can be so stupid. Just try to talk to one sometimes.

[WVNan]

"Republicans make us safer

Five years after 9/11, and the Bush administration has keeped us safe.

The war in Iraq has diverted terrorists from attacking America and given the Iraqis a democratically elected government.

The war in Iraq has inflamed the liberals and is hurting Al Qaeda. Osama Bin Laden is still in hiding but has not been able to attack the U.S. again.

Katrina showed all of us that the Democrats aren’t able to protect America at home. Think of all the empty school buses.

Democrat political attacks during last week’s terror threat are outrageous. Howard Dean should be ashamed."

[ladyinred]

As if they haven't used terrorism for their political gain for over 5 years. Katrina was NOT President Bush's fault you morons at movement.org. (we can imagine what kind of movement I mean)

[Gordongekko909]

Heh. Yes, Ctrl+F is teh useful.
