Time to Get Garbage Off the Public Airwaves

Can you type an email? Can you dial a cell phone? Then you can help Barack Obama's campaign today (Tuesday, August 26, 2008) without even leaving your home.

Some Michigan television stations are running an ad about Sen. Barack Obama that is a total lie. This ad, which is paid for by the same people who swift-boated John Kerry four years ago, tries to link Obama to a bombing that occurred 40 years ago, when Obama was in elementary school.

It is pure garbage. In fact, it is so full of lies and distortions that even Fox News has refused to run the ad. Furthermore, the ad group that produced the ad, the American Issues Project, may be breaking the law with the ad by advocating the defeat of Obama instead of merely airing an "issue."

But Michigan television stations are running it anyway. So we're asking that you call or email the television stations and ask them to reject the ad.

Click on this link and follow the instructions to call or email these stations.

Let's stop the smears and have a debate on the real issues people care about.
