Dear John,
You must not let the right wing controlled media control this talking point. The simple way to do this and keep the incompetent bush administration in the spotlight is this...
Deliver that same speech every day until November 7. Don't flub it up this time though. Just deliver the content the way you had intended the first time. But do it every day from now until next week. The right wing will wish they never made an issue of this.
You've got to do this, it's the only way. Did you hear W yesterday railing against you? Did you see those people cheering him on? Those people will not get it if you let this die.
Keep it up!!!
