Obama campaign E-mail:

Thirty-six hours ago, John McCain said to everyone watching the debate, "I don't care about some washed-up terrorist," and "every time there's been an out-of-bounds remark made by a Republican, no matter where they are, I have repudiated them."

A few hours later he was saying something very different to thousands of voters in Virginia

A new "robocall" paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 tells voters who answer their phones that Barack "has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers" whose organization "killed Americans."

In the past, these "robocalls" -- phone calls where a machine delivers the message over and over -- have flown under the radar. The McCain campaign expects them to go largely unnoticed by the mainstream press, and we need your help to drag their ugly tactics into the light.

Virginia hasn't voted for a Democratic candidate for president in decades. Now that the polls are neck-and-neck here, the McCain campaign is getting worried -- and their tactics are getting uglier.

These attacks aren't coming from a fringe outside group.

They're paid for by John McCain and the RNC. The "robocallers" even say, right up front, "I'm calling on behalf of John McCain," before they launch into false and discredited attacks.

We're hearing reports of calls like this from all across the country. It just shows how much we still need to do -- reaching out to voters with the truth requires twice as much work as flooding homes with "robocalls" filled with lies.
