Dear

An "online coup d'etat." That's how CBS News described your efforts after the debate last Thursday.

John Kerry did his part with a powerful performance that showed America they can expect strong and principled leadership when he is our commander-in-chief. But it was your efforts that kept the Republicans from spinning their way to victory.

Now we need your help again. Tonight, John Edwards and Dick Cheney will meet for the only vice presidential debate of the campaign. Once again, we need you to take action the moment they leave the stage.

There are four critical things you can do to help beat the Republican spin machine.

Forward this email to family, coworkers, and friends.
Vote in online polls.
Write a letter to the editor.
Call radio and television stations.
Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the difference. It is important that we double our efforts from the last debate, because the Republicans are now copying our strategy.

Vote in Online Polls
National and local news organizations will be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online polls at these news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:

CNN: http://www.cnn.com/
MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ Wall Street Journal: http://www.wsj.com/
LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/
Akron Beacon-Journal: http://www.ohio.com/
Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/
Orlando Sentinel: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/
Philadelphia Inquirer: http://www.philly.com/
South Florida Sun-Sentinel: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/

And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV stations for online polls. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes immediately following the debate.

Make sure swing voters know why you support John Kerry by sharing your thoughts on message boards in target states. Visit our 2004 Debate Center after the debate for a list of message boards where you can fight the Republican spin. If you visit chat rooms on AOL, MSN, Yahoo, or other websites, be sure to let people know what you thought of the debate.

Write a Letter to the Editor Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If you feel John Edwards presented an optimistic vision for the next four years, put it in your letter. If you feel Dick Cheney failed to explain the last four years of failed policies, put it in your letter.

Writing a letter is easier than you think. It takes just a few minutes and just a few clicks using our online media center:

Call Radio and TV Stations
TV and radio coverage immediately following the debate is where much of the spin is cemented. Make sure you call radio and TV stations to tell them what you thought.
Find shows in your area on our media website:

Also...
Don't forget to visit our 2004 Debate Center before, during, and after the debate for important information and more ways to take action.

I think it's time for an "I'm a lifelong democrat...but" letter.

NBC puts up ILIE next to Pres Bush's during news cast

[ajwharton]

If Cheney does what he is supposed to do and cleans the floor with Edwards, we should NOT -- repeat NOT -- chime in on these stupid online polls. I want them to say that Edwards won with 100% of the vote.

This will do more than anything else to expose the fraud that is this DNC crapola.

[USMC79to83]

Oh yea, I'll be voting in some on-line polls tonight....

[cripplecreek]

Don't know is you saw this but one writer at the sun times noticed that there were some minor problems with the e-mails from kerry supporters.

Dont know if the polls matter but Im voting anyway! I dont want to give those RATS an inch.

[HoustonTech]

Isn't this about the same thing as stuffing the ballot box? Why am I not surprized?

"Once again, we need you to take action the moment they leave the stage."

The copy I received had this phrase stressed by bolding. It is a clear admonishment for thier DUmmies calling and sending e-mails before the last debate was even concluded. Brought a chuckle to me and of course I had to point it out when I forwarded it to my rat friends!

[ApesForEvolution]

RATS ARE COMMUNISTS BTTT

[lotex]

WAIT...BETTER YET HAVE ALL THESE POLLS SAVED AHEAD OF TIME..AND LETTERS TO EDITORS EMAILS ALSO..JUST LIKE THE DEMS DID THE LAST TIME

[lotex]

I THINK WE NEED TO GO AFTER THAT BROKAW TOO...THESE GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF ARROGANT ..........I WON'T EVEN SAY IT

[ArmyBratproud]

We'll need to post these web sites listed in the e-mail....later tonight. Time to counter the Rats.

[OH Swing Voter]

I got the letter--I am using it pre-debate to forward to all media outlets--warning them that the democrats are going to be spamming them!

Post debate--I will send the usual letter--I am a lifetime democrat--but Edwards just doesn't seem very credible....
