Time to CALL OUT McCain & Palin! DO IT!
We are seeing a daily increase of out-of-control insanity that is a direct result of McCain Camp's campaign strategy to paint Obama as dangerous, un-American, and a potential terrorist.

Unless we take some sort of action, we may have four more weeks of this kind of gutter politics, four more weeks of an enflamed GOP electorate that could spell very real problems for Obama.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE IGNORED.

Those of us who lived through the 60s know all too well just how far, and how quickly, things can go bad, and the damage that can be done as a result.

We must contact the John McCain campaign and demand that his stop whipping up the fear and bigotry of his supporters.

John McCain contact info:

Senate phone number: (202) 224-2235
Senate fax:number: (202) 228-2862
Campaign online contact form: http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/
Senate online contact form: http://mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm


Sarah Palin contact info:

Gov. phone number: 907-465-3500
Gov. email address: governor@gov.state.ak.us
Gov. fax number: 907-465-3532


My contribution:

Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin -

I am contacting you to demand that you cease the increasingly dangerous campaign you are waging to paint Sen.Barack Obama as someone who is anti-American and a menace to our country.

You are encouraging fear and bigotry in your supporters -- this is not only a disgusting political tactic to take, but could lead to actions by some of your supporters that physically endanger Sen. Obama.

If you continue to support such vile tactics and do NOT speak out forcefully against supporters who voice such opinions, I will place the blame squarely on both you and Gov. Palin should something happen to Sen. Obama.

Just so we are 100% clear: if something happens to Sen. Obama due to your rhetoric of hate, then I will consider you 100% responsible.

Stop the hate!

Hell


Please, keep this kicked so everyone has a chance to get the contact information!

6. Done. This is the most despicable campaign I have ever seen.
These filthy liars. Blood will be on their hands if any of their stupid, hate-filled Reich-wing-nut loonytoon supporters ever harm Senator Obama.

13. Just let them know how you feel ---
about how they are campaigning. Do you find it disgusting? Do you find it dangerous? Does it scare you? Let them know how it makes you feel when they campaign like this, and remind them you are an American voter is is watching them.

Heck, just fax them something saying, "Stop the Obama hate!" -- they should get the hint, I think. :D

I am scared too -- something bad happening has always been a possibility, but McCain?/alin's hate rhetoric is dramatically increasing that possibility. :mad:

Dear Senator McCain: Although I disagree with you on many issues, until very recently I respected you for your service both in the Senate and the military. No longer. You and Gov. Palin have stooped way below the Swift Boaters in your attacks on Obama and your tolerance of hate speech at your rallies. You no longer deserve the public trust. You should be ashamed. But more importantly, you owe it to your office to protect your fellow Senator from dangerous personal hateful attacks. Have you the integrity to do so?

21. Ignore them and let them implode
All they have left is an appeal to their base. They've given up on any others but them. They are just sad raging folks.

They are the meanies. We are the ones with hope. Keep your thoughts in the latter......!

23. The problem is that this kind of protest from Democrats will only excite them. It's what they want.

27. Heh heh, I turned the moralizing elitist church-monger right back on him.
Sent under the "Request/General" heading to the Senate address:

Senator McCain, what a disgrace your poorly run campaign has become! Save what little respect intelligent people have left for you and conduct yourself in a manner worthy of being part of the human race, for heaven's sake!

Sincerely,

(name) and family
