Fight the smears -- Obama campaign wants to hear from you if you receive a smear-mail.

[gauguin57]

I sent fightthesmears.com a note about the "Biden stepping down" email that has been going around, and got the auto-mail below in return. Sounds like the Obama campaign does want to know what smear emails we're all receiving, so they can get in front of this stuff. Something to keep in mind, next time some wacko Rethug lie goes viral.


Dear Friend,

Thank you for joining the fight against the lies, false attacks, and smear
campaigns that have been leveled against Barack Obama and have dragged the level
of discourse in today's politics through the mud. Only through your collective
voice will we be able to put an end to these attacks and set the record
straight.

Please continue to send us each smear you receive - even if you receive the same
one multiple times from different sources. When possible, please forward
messages just as they came to you, without changing the subject or sending the
message as an attachment.

If you haven't already, it's important that you provide the truth to whoever
passed along the smear that you reported. Refer to http://www.FightTheSmears.com
to get the necessary background you need in order to fight back. If you can't
find the information you need, contact the Obama staff in your state. Find your
local campaign office here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/statepages

Thank you again for taking an active role in this election. Only with your
participation will we be able to bring fundamental change to our politics and to
our country.

1. Obama spoke to Matt Lauer yesterday...

and said that he was perfectly happy with his choice. Now, if someone thinks Joe will step down, due to health concerns, then they need to get a crystal ball, and start charging, should that come true.
