Here's what I wrote:

Hi,

This morning, all the members of The View panel repeated a recent RW smear that Sen Obama released his Western Wall prayer to the press. This seems not to be the case, according to this article: http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/07/29/obama-vindicated.aspx

PLEASE contact The View--its audience has lots of women of a demographic Sen Obama needs--and ask them to correct this story and offer an apology. I'd also suggest that you ask them to talk AT LENGTH about the way false stories about Sen Obama (and, I suppose, about McCain) go mainstream and how this lie was a prime example of it.
