Folks, at the end of
a reply to a fellow Chicago-area Kossack's post on Josef 52's
DAMN IT, Stir Up a Firestorm Against ABC I had an idea on how Dem candidates and campaign committees could actually help be a part of a national response to this.
You see, there's this election coming up in a few weeks, and candidates usually air TV commercials.
(flip)
Before the election the DCCC, DSCC, DNC and several state's parties, gubernatorial and Federal candidates (among others) will be spending some money on political TV ads... In the Chicago area alone the DSCC and Gov. Blagojevich's campaigns are committed to multiple-millions of dollars.
We, the Dem voters, can tell them to grow a pair and demand that ABC affiliates pull this slime propaganda attack ("The Path to 9/11") lest every Dem candidate pull their ads from ABC stations and instead spend the money with competing local media and (gasp) local cable.
Ouch! (If we can pull it off.)
Here are local ABC affiliates' contact info. You know your local and statewide candidates so contact them too. All it takes is a letter or phone call from the campaigns' media coordinator to local ABC stations.
Contact Rahm Emanuel's DCCC (blog)and Chuck Schumer's DSCC (blog) also. And Gov. Howard Dean's DNC while you're at it.
If they whine about 'we can't coordinate' blahdey-blah... tell them to grow a spine. They don't have to do it if they don't want, but what did Gen. Clark say about Americans not trusting Dems to protect them til they learn to protect each other???
If ABC wants to air this conservative BS, put it on ABC Family at midnight. Or where it really belongs: ToonDisney.
