WHOA! Found the 527 I'm donating to!!

Saw an ad during Hardballs - Unfit to Lead - done by Democracy for America.

Shows a fellow POW saying McCain is unfit to lead. Nice.

2. And the Republicans complained about "swift boat politics"
It's hypocrisy like that which keeps me going and keeps my enthusiasm up.

6. Hypocrisy
I know- was it Colbert who just showed the footage of people with the "purple heart band-aids" from the 2004 republican convention? Hypocrisy at its finest!

5. DFA is a PAC, and so don't give them more than $5,000.
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 06:37 PM by Eric J in MN
The legal limit for PACs is $5,000 per person per two-year cycle.

7. BraveNewPAC and DFA are working together
http://bravenewpac.org/

Robert Greenwald (BraveNewFilms.org) has joined forces with Democracy for America. So, if by any chance you max out at DFA you can give to BraveNewPAC. ;)

12. I saw it on Hardball a while ago
at the end of the commercial there was something about BraveNewPAC. It had the same font as BraveNewFilms so I looked it up.

fwiw, I donated to DFA last week when someone posted it. Glad to see that it is finally getting air time.

10. I just gave them money! Here is their latest email about McP*W calling the ad "VILE"!!!!!!!!
You did it -- our national ad campaign is working. We have John McCain running scared.

Today the McCain campaign attacked Democracy for America members and Brave New PAC. They called your ad "vile", a "swift-boat style" attack and "a concerted Democratic effort to paint McCain as dishonorable." ¹

Now that we have McCain on the defensive, let's turn up the heat so more people see it.

CONTRIBUTE $50 RIGHT NOW TO HELP US FIGHT BACK FAST!

Meanwhile the conservative American Issues Project is launching a multi-million dollar negative ad campaign against Obama. These are the real swift-boaters -- the same billionaires who funded the swift-boat lies against John Kerry in 2004. ²

We may not have billionaires, but we have the truth -- and we have you.

Our people-powered ads will continue to hit McCain where it hurts. Together, we will unmask the real McCain.

Thanks for taking action today,

- Charles

Charles Chamberlain, Political Director
Democracy for America

15. DFA
is the group formed after Dean left the campaign. It's his legacy for ground up campaigning.
