LTTE campaign to SD, Riverside papers re: Bush endorsements?
Here's the SD Union-Tribune's tribute to miserable failure:

Uncertain times demand steady leadership

UNION-TRIBUNE

October 17, 2004

For a brief decade or so after the Berlin Wall collapsed, signaling the demise of Soviet communism, the security of America as the world's lone superpower appeared to be assured. But the convulsion of Sept. 11, 2001, shattered the comforting illusion that the United States was safe from foreign enemies.

It is against the backdrop of this jolting reality that George Bush's presidency has played out. Now, voters must decide whether Bush has met his duty as commander in chief at this uncertain hour in history, or whether he should be replaced by John Kerry. There are many issues by which the two contenders for the Oval Office must be judged, but the paramount one is America's national security.

In recent days Kerry told The New York Times that his goal as president would be to contain terrorism to the level of a nuisance, like prostitution. That telling comment revealed a perfunctory worldview that is strikingly different from that of Bush, as his record of the last three years dramatically attests.
(etc)

I can't find a link to the Riverside paper's endorsement, sorry. Anyway, it's registration-required. I don't know the area, but I'd think that a letter to the editor campaign to the San Diego paper would be more likely to be effective. SD might not be the most progressive city in the world, but jeez.
