An Open Letter to John McCain

Country First-
That was the buzzword of the RNC.

Country First:
And yet your party belittled and humiliated communities and people who try to make a difference along Main Streets throughout this country when you let speakers at your convention attack Mr. Obama for organizing within his.

Country First:

idea for ad - "Lies"

I think Obama has to take the Truman approach to lying opponents. Not necessarily call them "shifty-eyed goddamn liars" but "liars" should suffice.

The ad could open with a clip McCain at the closing of the RNC.
"The Republican party just finished its convention, and they gave some good speeches"
Show picture of Sarah Palin.
"Too bad they lied"

Fight Back w/ Major Reaction Speech

Obama needs to make a major reaction speech to the RNC on Friday. Labeling why people should vote for him and to also go at McCain/Palin. He needs to start getting hits on Palin but tread this area lightly. He also needs to have Hillary Hit on Palin.

lies, lies, and more lies

there needs to be a real response to the lies and propaganda of the rnc. the repub. are making the case that a vote for Obama/Biden is unpatriotic and actually dangerous. Talk about the trickle-down economics theory, which failed in the 1980's. Talk about how they have been in power for the last 20 years and all the problems have to do with republican leadership.

Re-Release Republican Speeches With "Truth Bubbles"

I would love to see tonight's RNC speeches by Guiliani and Palin attacking Obama re-released in a "Pop Up Video" format, with "truth bubbles" under each lie or misconception that one of their speakers said. When Sarah Palin talks about Obama raising taxes, there should have been a pop-up bubble saying that he plans to LOWER taxes for 98% of the population.

Explain what Obama's votes of "present" in the state senate mean

The most potentially damaging allegation that Giuliani made in his convention speech is that Obama voted "present" over a hundred times as a State Senator because he couldn't make up his mind. In reality, a vote of "present" means that the Senator does not like the bill as is, but would be open to some sort of compromise.

Stay clean

Despite Governor Palin's speech at the RNC tonight the campaign and the party need to shrug it off. By hitting back you let them dictate the message and you make it about what they did to provoke your reaction.
