I just got 'The Kerry Kit' from MoveOn.org

MoveOnPAC.org ^ | 8/23/04 | JulieRNR21

Mine came in the mail today......

Have you seen what MoveOn is sending out? Clearly Soros' big bucks are being spent on a first class marketing tool.

It contains a DVD, a (small) Kerry/Edwards Sticker, two articles, Kerry's liberal voting record, Kerry's (outlandish) promises and instruction cards on how to spread the word on the 'real John Kerry'.

The DVD contains footage from the upcoming documentary on Kerry by George Butler 'Going Upriver: the Long War of John Kerry'. (Does this movie have film that Kerry himself shot in Vietnam?)

The articles praising Kerry are by David Kusnet, speechwriter for Clinton '92-94 and David Corn of The Nation magazine.

Those who get the kits are instructed to have a dinner party & invite friends to view the DVD and then get them to order their own 'Kits' and do the same....also to email everyone they know to order their own 'Kerry Kit.

While it says the kit is 'not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee' wouldn't Kerry have to authorize the use of the Butler film if he gave his own film to Butler?

Also the Kit is Called 'The KERRY KIT" so it is clearly promoting Kerry.

All is forgiven....Hugs for (((((Meeky)))))....Julie

Brilliant BRAVO ..... BUMP

Also, someone posted how you can micro wave these DVDs for a few seconds to give them an unique twisted appearance like Kerry has.

'Going Upriver: the Long War of John Kerry'.

Lets see Kerry was in training for One Month at Cam Ron Bay a French Resort Town,

3 months in Swift boats.

Should be Kerry's short ride up the river.

[hoosiermama]

back atcha bump!

[BigSkyFreeper]

"Up The River Without A Campaign Issue" would work too.

[popparollo]

Send your money to the SWIFTVETS!!!

Send the info out on the connection.

[popparollo]

MEGA DITTOS!!!

[Bernard]

Time for the media to sweep MORE under the rug.

Good time for a Roy Scheider picture, with the caption. "We're going to need a bigger broom!"

[gimme1ibertee]

Targets at the shooting gallery...

PULL! -POW-POW-POW!!!-
YEAH BABY!

Should someone file a complaint with the FEC since this is clearly a violation that 527s are not supposed to promote a particular candidate. The Kerry Kit promotes Kerry. It is not general issues oriented material.

That my understanding too. That's why 527s are suited for negative campaigning because they can tear down their guys opponent as much as their money lets them.

:^D

[popparollo]

He is staying consistent and trying to be above the Kerry RAT nest.

[redpoll]

ANY THOUGHTS!!??? For God's sake, go online and file a complaint. Right now. Just do it. Obviously this is a 527 organization that is supporting a candidate. You don't have to be an attorney to file a complaint. To paraphrase the environmental movement: "Think lefty, act conservatively." A leftist wouldn't hestitate for one minute about using the power of the state of intimidate opponents. FILE THAT COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION. If the FEC is like any other agency, they are legally obligated to act upon your complaint. If you get no action, be a royal pain in the ass until they do what you want. *sheesh* </ranting and raving>

[SelmaLee]

No, that was "Going Up the Country".

(And boy, did I just give away my approximate age.)

This is a clear violation of Federal Election Law in my opinion. You should contact the Federal Election Commission and the Bush Campaign.

Does anyone know how to actually reach someone in the campaign who's high enough to take some kind of action.

[cyn]

So true. Why just look at the riveting features:

". . . excerpts from acclaimed director George Butler's forthcoming documentary, Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry. [yeah, and it's gonna get longer, John] . . . Kerry's brothers-in-arms recount the harrowing and compelling story of his heroism and leadership under fire [now there's a short segment] . . . portions of Kerry's riveting 1971 testimony . . . "

Not hard to see why airamerica can't make it.

Thanks for posting this, Julie . . . what, no ketchup in the kit??!

[Chode]

you are right!!! me too...

[wildbill]

I just sent a copy of your post to a guy I know on the swifties. They are getting a lot of heat from the media about being a 527 with ties to Bush Campaign.

I suggested that each time one of their guys goes on a TV show that they should show a copy of the kit.

Does anyone have kits available to them today? Three weeks is a lifetime in this fast-moving campaign
