Smear Away! Support the 527s!
Got two e-mails today, one from MoveOn and the other from Democracy for America. They are ready to run the attack ads... they just need money. Here are the links. I'm just the messenger.

11. Cool!
How may I ask did you get the MoveOn t-shirt?

Just a little icing on the cake if I can get the shirt to show off too. :hi:

23. Those links are actually for Political Action Committees which accept a maximum of $5,000 per person
PACs = hard money, $5,000 limit per donor per cycle
527s = soft money, unlimited donations.

So give $5,000 to MoveOn PAC and another $5,000 to DFA, if you can afford it, but not a penny more.

24. Both the links in the original post are actually for PACs, and...
...both the forms indicate that they only want money from US citizens.

Here a couple of other pro-Obama organizations which might accept money from Canadians (I don't see anything on their websites about only accepting from US citizens.) You can email them before donating to make sure that they accept money from Canadians:

21. How about taking care of the Local Talent? :)
Edited on Thu Sep-11-08 02:57 AM by symbolman
I've been creating these for 7 years now, and slamming HARD the whole time.. just because I'm not a 527 doesn't mean I can't use some Help :)

Here's two of my latest :

"The Palin Bunch" (Apologies to The Brady Bunch) :)

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/thepalinbunch.html

Sgt Pepper Style: "Tragical History Tour - McCain: Environ - Mental"

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/pepperobama1.html

(There's a donate button on the pages)

Before YouTube I was one of the two DU'rs here that practically Invented the Flash political Attack Ad oneline.. my ARMY OF ONE flash was turned into a 30 second ad and shown all over the cable networks (3000 times) during the Dem primary - it was one of 14 finalists out of 6500 entries in the MoveOn.org's "Bush in 30 seconds", and I was invited to a big NYC bash where they turned the spotlight on me while Michael Moore called out my name and entry :)

I've wanted to make MORE but am too poor to pay attention, but at this point I also seem to have lost all my PRIDE too :)

22. I don't think it's smearing if it's the truth. And in McCain's case the truth hurts.
