Just a quickie, but would all of you supporters please take a moment to write Senator Obama and ask that he reconsider appearing on FOX News this weekend?
From Dipayan Gupta | The Huffington Post:
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace says it's been 769 days since Sen. Barack Obama agreed to an interview that never materialized. But this Sunday, the wait is over. According to a Fox News release, Sen. Obama will be appearing on Wallace's "Fox News Sunday" this weekend.
...Although Sen. Obama's camp has yet to release an official statement, Wallace wrote a post hinting that the upcoming exclusive interview may be the result of Sen. Obama's "double-digit loss" in Pennsylvania.
Greetings, Senator,
Briefly, I am writing as a strong supporter to beg of you not to appear on FOX News this weekend for reasons so obvious that I feel I need not get into them.
From a marketing standpoint, I feel strongly that your cancellation would be far more beneficial to your campaign than actually appearing on this horrid network.
You can glean absolutely no good for yourself or your campaign by submitting to the propagated whims of a network that has been designed to belittle and vilify Democrats; rather, you may find that your campaign could lose a little bit of steam from your most ardent supporters. Further, any microscopic combination of words whether contextual or not would most definitely be strung together by Mr. Ailes and reverberated endlessly to your disadvantage, should they find the opportunity. This is precisely what they do and what they were designed for. Therefore, I implore you to publicly cancel your interview at the earliest possible convenience.
This is serious stuff and I hope you reconsider. You are much, much better than anything that FOX could ever possibly offer you or your campaign.
Thanks so much!
Me!

It's important. Well, at least, to me.
Thx!

UPDATE:
This is why he should not appear on FOX.
and this reenforces it:
From John Amato | Crooks & Liars
Don’t you love that “24″ type music? And Chris Wallace wastes no time smearing him even before he shows up.
For accepting the interview, Fox’s Chris Wallace promptly implies Obama is lazy:
Wallace said if Obama had won Pennsylvania, he may not have accepted the invitation.
“If he had won he’d probably on a Caribbean island this weekend.”
(Emphasis by me)
