>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. Here's what it looks like:

>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 have put them in their car windows. Peter and I put 'em in 
>our windows at home. 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:
