DEAN FIGHTS BACK AGAINST DISHONEST AND DIRTY BUSH ADS

Goal of $360,000 already halfway met:
deanforamerica.com

This weekend, the Republican National Committee is launching its first television ads for George W. Bush. The ads show the fear-mongering that George Bush and Karl Rove are going to use, with their $200 million in special interest money, to try to distort what we are fighting for in this election.

There is only one way to stop them -- and that is by standing up and telling the truth about what this
president has done to our country. To do that, we’ve put up the bat on our website. Our goal is to raise $360,000 by Tuesday at midnight -- $5,000 for every hour they are going to lie to the American people with their ad.

***

The ad shows George W. Bush giving his last State of the Union address, and then the screen flashes with the words that “some are now attacking the president for attacking the terrorists.”

This is the same State of the Union address in which Bush misled Congress and the American people with the false claim that Iraq had attempted to buy uranium in Africa -- the famous sixteen words that helped drive our country into an unnecessary war. And the war with Iraq had nothing to do with the terrorists who attacked the United States on 9/11. We can’t let them get away with this.

The ad urges viewers to tell Congress “to support the president's policy of pre-emptive self defense." But the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive war is wrong for America. It is costing us in blood and money, and in our nation’s standing around the world.

But the facts have never gotten in the way of the Bush administration’s agenda -- and the facts aren’t going to get in the way of their reelection strategy. This ad is about distorting Howard Dean’s opposition to the war with Iraq. They say that those who opposed the war oppose defending our nation from terrorism. But the war in Iraq had nothing to do with al Qaeda or the war on terrorism. The president’s misleading statements -- and the war they led us into -- are making us less safe.

You have built the only campaign strong enough to take on George Bush and the $200 million he is raising to destroy his Democratic opponent. Help us prepare for battle........

Thank you for everything you do.
