Sacramento Bee tries to take a shot at pro-troop group, Move America Forward. You can send an email to the reporter, Todd Milbourn, at: tmilbourn@sacbee.comIraq war backers proudly pugnaciousBut critics say Move America Forward may abuse nonprofit status. When Cindy Sheehan's anti-war protests last year drew widespread news coverage, a Sacramento nonprofit jumped to defend President Bush with a series of "counterprotests" against the Berkeley mother. When Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi called Bush an "incompetent leader" in 2004, the group responded with an "action alert" calling Pelosi a "domestic enemy." And as a liberal U.S. senator pushed to censure...

This ad was produced by www.MoveAmericaForward.org MAF is currently working overtime to raise enough money to make a major impact on the television airwaves next week - with the broadcast of this ad. Target date for the ad to begin running (if enough money is raised by then) is Wednesday, July 21st.

During the 2000 and 2004 election cycles, liberal journalists showed just how desperate they were to defeat the Republican candidate for president, George W. Bush. Journalistic standards? Gone. Objectivity? Gone. Not even a pretense for fair and balanced reporting anywhere on the airwaves or in print. There was the last-minute DUI scandal, forged memos used by Dan Rather to question Bush's National Guard service, the supposed stolen munitions in Iraq that were supposed to be the fault of the Bush administration's incompetence. No longer denying their liberal bias, mainstream media anchors and reporters openly expressed their contempt for Bush and...

NOTE: This is from a weekly liberal newspaper in Sacramento - the "Sacramento News & Review." It's a tabloid that is like the San Francisco Bay Guardian or other similar left-wing street rag. However, despite the ideological bias of the publication (its editors are very anti-war) the article is actually reasonably fair. Support the war! The war on terror has been good for Move America Forward. It’s brought the conservative activist group notoriety, cash and ratings.

Fellow Americans: For more than a year now I've been filling your email boxes with updates regarding Move America Forward's work to support our troops and their efforts to achieve victory in the war on terrorism. But now a new chapter in my life has begun to be written, and I must step back from my day-to-day role as the Founder and Co-Chairman of MAF and turn over full control to my great partner in the conservative movement, Melanie Morgan. I have decided to become a Republican candidate for U.S. Congress [ see: http://www.KaloogianForCongress.com ] in the seat being vacated...

Last night Melanie Morgan, Howard Kaloogian and a couple others (including myself) all had dinner in Dallas, Texas following the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour and rally in Crawford, Texas organized by Move America Forward and Free Republic. Howard and Melanie wanted to figure out the best ways to thank Free Republic.

Why, Busby's so hot she could change her name to Buzz-by. "This is going to be the hottest race on the West Coast," the Cardiff candidate pledges with a sunny, know-it-all grin. "This is going to be the most competitively fought congressional seat this side of the Rockies. It's not a blow-away for Republicans in this district anymore." Two months ago, you'd have said Busby was blowing smoke...

The Final Chapter of My Trip To Iraq Martha Zoller Isn’t it interesting how things have a natural beginning and end to them? The Voices of Soldiers Tour began flying away from Hurricane Dennis and ended flying away from one of the biggest sand storms in history. Col. Daniel Kornacki, the Commander of the Air Base at the Baghdad Airport from the 94th Airlift out of Dobbins and is a Delta 767 pilot in his other life, said that sand storms are the desert’s thunderstorms. Coming from tornado alley, that is an analogy I can understand. Our group (Buzz Patterson...

Courage plentiful in Iraq By: Howard Kaloogian BAGHDAD, Iraq ---- Courage. You know it when you see it. "Speaking truth to power" is thought of as courageous. Lt. General Abdul Qader Jassim told Saddam Hussein that the Iraqi army could not withstand the coalition forces arrayed against it in the mid '90s. Then he spent the next 7 years, 4 months and 10 days in an Iraqi prison until being liberated by American troops in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today he is the head of the Iraqi army.

New Ad Will Highlight Saddam's WMD, Terror Ties(CNSNews.com) - A conservative group has produced a TV ad focusing attention on a report about Saddam Hussein's Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction as well as ties to terrorists. Move America Forward said documents obtained by CNSNews.com provide "explosive and startling" information that "directly contradicts what the liberal old-line news media has been telling us." As CNSNews.com reported in early October, Iraq did have weapons of mass destruction very recently. And it turns out that Iraq also had extensive ties to al Qaeda. Move America Forward said it plans to run its...

He Feels Mission to Fight TerrorismHoward Kaloogian Sometime this week, in some unnamed theater, one of the most outspoken opponents of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" plans to watch what he's been encouraging others to boycott. Howard Kaloogian, chairman of the Sacramento-based Move America Forward, makes it clear he won't be paying to watch the anti-Bush film, denying Moore any ticket proceeds from his pocket. Kaloogian believes he's already seen enough to personally launch a full-on campaign denouncing Moore's box-office hit. "I've seen a transcript and 30 minutes of the film, and the contents have been widely reported," he said. The...

For this Saturday's Recall Gray Davis Rally in Sacramento we were hoping to find a small band (ya know a small brass band that knows a patriotic or festive tune or two). One of the Event Coordinators for the rally thought they had something lined up that would work perfectly but the people were in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - ack! Since there will be a huge crowd and a significant media presence we really would benefit from some folks dressed up in patriotics clothes or colors adding some festive noise (before and after the rally). It will also help draw more...
