Did you see MSNBC last night?

Rachel Maddow called our new TV ad against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker "the most pointed, stand-with-the-people-who-work-for-a-living ad that we have seen for a very long time." Ed Schultz announced, "Pro-working groups, they are fighting back!"

Lawrence O'Donnell said, “The ad is beautiful filmmaking. I’m really quite struck by it.” (We heard similar comments all day yesterday!)

Our new ad is inspiring people. Can you take a look -- and chip in $3 to help run it in Wisconsin? Click here:https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/waronworkingfamilies?refcode=pccc-e2-v1-msnbc-signfin

4. Wonderful!

We really need to keep making sure that people understand that this is truly Republican class warfare. I think we need to hammer home the class warfare (and economic terrorism) theme. Over the years, I've noticed that the piggies are truly frightened of the term "class warfare," but obviously, that's exactly what's going on in WI and the U.S. in general.

5. Excellent!

It's time we fight back.....past time. WE should be funding radio networks across this country to get some voice out there to the rural and small town America to combat the limpball, vannity poison that is contaminating our country's collective mind.

I've driven across this great nation a half dozen times in the past five years; from east to west, north to south...and it's an eye opener!! Outside of a few major metro areas, the ONLY VOICE these citizens hear are evangelical tripe and sometimes as many as three or four radio networks with limpballs, vannity, savage, and any other poisonous reich wing voice at ONE TIME!! NO progressive voice whatsoever.

THIS is what is poisoning this country....misinformation. WE NEED TO ACT ON THIS...or we will continue to lose elections outside of the major metro areas.

Propaganda is alive and well in the USA.

6. That's right! But did you see those people? I guess Grothman was right, they really are slobs.

9. Bet you won't see this ad on Fox.

10. It's more than Republicans

that are making war on working families. Many of our own within the Democratic Party are doing a fine job as well.

[olegramps]

12. You are right on. The problem is that working class folks have scant representation in congress.

[dotymed]

13. Sadly also, it is not only working class families.

The poor, disabled, etc...are feeling this harder than most. Many of whom used to be "working class."

[swilton]

14. The Middle Class is Fair Game by our 'Friends' in the Capital

I'm against Republican bashing and demonizing them - the more that is done, the less we look into our own house to clean it up. It is very difficult to criticize members of the 'Democratic' Party leadership because there has been so much fear mongering of the far right....The reality is that our own party is doing just as much damage with their deceitful policies. At least with the far right we know where they stand.

15. Leave it to progressives to run this ad

This is not something you're going to see from Democratic party leadership.

16. Poke the conservanazis in the eye with a sharp stick.

17. the rich have been winning the class warfare

since ronald reagan. how about them tax cuts? were they really worth it?

[cooolandrew]

18. Record it to every ifone device and show to all of creatioin. Like it, like it. n/t

[craigmatic]

19. How come nobody call it class warfare when the republicans do it?

Yet when working people stand up to the corporations all of a sudden we're provoking class warfare.

20. excellent!!

So glad to see good "messaging" on this issue and in this form. Glad to know msnbc gave good air time on these.. are they actually being aired in commercial time slots?

OT: I don't know why MSNBC won't stream live or at least archive their shows to be viewed on same day.. so frustrating to view dated material on line.

I've sent this out on my Samizdat maillist.:kick:

22. Everyone who can be considered middle class or lower needs to

understand that if they break the unions we have NO voice for the people left. The things those who are rich need to understand is that it is never more than a hop, skip and a jump from being down there with us. It is their safety net we have been trying to save to. If they don't believe it they should just think about those millionaire's jumping off the buildings in the Great Depression.

[DeSwiss]

23. If it's class warfare they want......

Number of millionaires in the world (2009)
19,900,000 or (0.0028828516492623414901197125689067 of the world population)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire#Number_of_millionaires_in_the_world

Number of people in the world (est. as of, 03/01/11)
6,902,887,287 or (0.997117148350737658509880287432 of the world population)
http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html



This is why none of this makes any sense. Less than 1% of the world's population is dictating to the remaining 99% over how the world's resources are to be dispersed.

- And that's BULLSHIT!
