Looks like a little bit of strongarming going on here... no surprise... Sorry I don't have more concrete info. I'm sure we'll get some soon in which case we can link to it in this thread.

Did they send any letters warning them about MoveOn.org and the AFL-CIO ads used against Bush?

1st Amendment rights for liberal commies; none for conservative and truth-tellers.

If so, an outrageous attempt by Kerry to squelch 1st Amendment rights.

The DNC people should just call this move Operation FOOTBULLET. Trying to muffle this ad only adds to public curiosity.

Unreal. The Johns start screaming at war heroes, "Stop, or we will SUE you!"
