> Dear MoveOn Member,
> 
> We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the Bush Administration
> is brilliant at marketing.  No Presidency has relied more on careful
> messaging and media placement.  The folks that are working for Bush
> are so good at this that if you watch the news, you get the idea that
> everyone agrees with him.
> 
> Of course, we all know that that's not true.  Most Americans are quite
> wary of the war on Iraq, and a whole lot of us see the President as
> playing a cynical election-year game.  The problem is that without the
> attention of the media, this dissent is hard to see -- ordinary people
> don't hold press conferences to tell the world what they're thinking.
> 
> That's where we need your help.  We've put together a placard that you
> can put in your car window.  You can download the placard for free at:

> If everyone who's worried about Bush's plans votes on November 5, we can 
> engage in a little "regime change" of our own.  The good news is that a 
> majority of the people in this country are concerned.  But that doesn't 
> matter unless they voice that concern at the polls.
> 
> If enough of us download these, print 'em up, and stick them on our
> car or in our windows, we can begin to create a culture of engagement 
> and patriotic dissent.  We'll amplify our voices.  We'll help to elect 
> the candidates who can help us out of this mess.  And we'll help to fire
> the ones that are on board for Bush's endless war.

> Wes, Peter, Joan, Carrie, Doug and I have been showing the poster
> above to our friends and colleagues, and people really like it.
> Wes, Joan and Carrie already has theirs in their car windows.  Peter and 
> I put 'em in our windows.  The poster is funny and important.  Now we need 
> to get this message out there.  We've made it easy to download the placard 
> and print it out -- just go to:

>    http://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange2/
> 
> With your help, we can out-market the masters.  After all, we've got
> more people than they do.
