Melanie Morgan/Move America Forward Work to Advance Iraq-WMD Story
Move America Forward ^ | 10/13/2004 | Melanie Morgan

Posted on 10/14/2004 2:35:11 PM PDT by Impeach98

News Update Issued:
Wednesday, October 13, 2004 – 7:45 PM PDT

*** URGENT *** URGENT *** URGENT ***


Documents Collected by News Agency Indicate:

Saddam Hussein Possessed
Weapons of Mass Destruction

– Including (but not limited to)
Anthrax & Mustard Gas as recently as 2000


This is Melanie Morgan, Vice Chair of Move America Forward. For the past two weeks, we have been monitoring reports about the discovery of documents which revealed Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction as recently as 2000, and quite possibly later than that – when weapons inspectors were NOT PRESENT inside Iraq.

The documents also detail the training of terrorists by officials within Saddam Hussein’s regime inside Iraq.

* Please – I ask you to forward this email on to everyone you can so we can help spread word of this important news development!

The documents were obtained exclusively by CNS News, the news division of a prominent media watchdog group. We here at Move America Forward do not have the technical background to authenticate the documents, however, CNS News has asked scores of experts including a former weapons inspector with the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM), to analyze the documents, which are purported to be Iraqi Intelligence Service documents.

As CNS News reports, “All said they comport with the format, style and content of other Iraqi documents from that era known to be genuine.”

READ THE REPORT BY CNS NEWS HERE

Again, I need your help. Help spread word about this story by forwarding this email on to everyone you can.

Following the decision by CNS News to publish their exclusive findings, the news organization agreed to make the documents available for public review.

First, CNS News sent copies of the documents to major news outlets around the world. Then, CNS News published the documents in .pdf format on their website.

Among the new information learned from the documents was of ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq that had not previously been reported.

So… on October 4, 2004 CNS News published a report concerning weapons of mass destruction being present in Iraq at a time that the media and liberal politicians say there were no weapons present.

How many news stories have you seen in the mainstream press investigating this matter? Well, I haven’t seen one.

So I did something about it – I had Marc Morano of CNS News come on the “Lee Rodgers & Melanie Morgan” Morning Show on KSFO 560 AM in San Francisco to get the scoop on why this story wasn’t being reported.

We can’t allow the mainstream media to decide to cover up stories they don’t like and fabricate stories they do like.

It seems we have no other choice but to rise up and overwhelm the old line media monopolies with emails, phone calls, letters and FAXes demanding that they report on this news story.

I’ve put together the contact information for representatives at ABC and CBS News. As you will recall, both news outlets have ran into trouble recently. ABC News Political Director Mark Halperin was caught telling ABC News employees to not hold Kerry and Bush “equally accountable.”

Dan Rather and his CBS News producer, Mary Mapes, were caught peddling forged documents to undermine the credibility and respect for President Bush.

Well, it’s time that these news outlets made amends and corrected their biased reporting by being the first to report on the potential discovery of Iraqi Intelligence Service documents indicating the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda that have yet to be reported.

If you believe as we do that it is time for the mainstream media to be held accountable – and to report the truth, then you need to demand these media outlets report these new developments. Please – while being firm in your requests for the media to investigate this matter, be polite and respectful as well. We will accomplish much more if while we being determined and resolute we are also civil and professional.

Finally – we can fight the bias in the news media another way, by putting our message directly out through the airwaves.

Please watch the two commercials Move America Forward has produced. We will be airing these on three national television networks next week. How often these ads appear on your TV screen depends on how much money we raise from individuals like yourself.

If you want to see the ads receive significant television airtime, make a contribution.

“World War II”

We continue to press hard to reach our goal of $1 MILLION to get these ads on the air. That’s how much money it is going to take to make a real impact with these commercials.

Please, continue to support our efforts to balance the biased news media.

This is the email Melanie Morgan sent this morning to the Move America Forward email list to help raise coverage of the CNS News story on WMD in Iraq as recently as 2000 [and maybe later].

Of note... Melanie is a terrific and brave lady. She is an employee of ABC and yet you'll note one of the two networks she is asking people to "target" in terms of public outcry is none other than ABC.

Ya gotta love her!

Above: Melanie speaking at the FIRST Recall Gray Davis Rally. Melanie is "mother of the recall" and teamed up with former State Assemblyman, Howard Kaloogian who headed the Recall Gray Davis Committee.

Melanie is now Vice Chair of Move America Forward and Howard Kaloogian is Chairman. They make a powerful team and have complementary skills and attributes.

Just when you think we are devoid of leaders around here, someone like Melanie Morgan steps up and gives direction.

How refreshing!

Not many FReepers seem to agree. I hope they are all busy writing and calling the press contacts Melanie provided in the email text.

Great idea, someone needs to take the lead on this. Even Fox has dropped the ball.

P.S. My emails have been sent...I'll make some calls tomorrow.

Hello, I didn't quite understand your post. The "lead photo?"

Sorry, my bad. The MAF graphic didn't load and left a blank spot at the top of your post. I assumed that it was the required Melanie photo, so I asked. Today when I replied to you the MAF graphic came up.

No, actually that one of the many pictures I took at This Event on Sept 11, 2002 in Alameda, Ca. I was at the Eagle Forum event also held in Santa Rosa.
