Hello:

Yesterday, a right-wing smear group launched a full-fledge attack against
Barack, pulling in every baseless lie and re-hashed false assertion in their
playbook.

Not only that — it turns out the ad may be illegal.  Campaign finance
experts are weighing in about violations of election law.  And the ad
is so ridiculous that CNN and even Fox News have both refused to run it.

This is exactly the kind of politics Barack is running to change.

Unfortunately, some TV stations in Ohio are running the ad right now.

Contact TV stations in Ohio and tell them this kind of garbage shouldn’t
be run on the public’s airwaves, no matter how much money they are making
to run it:

John McCain claims he had nothing to do with this attack, but a former McCain
consultant leads the so called ‘third-party’ group behind these lies.

The primary funder of the ads, Harrold Simmons, is one of the main culprits
behind the Swift Boating of John Kerry and a top bundler for John McCain. 
The spokesman for the group also has ties to the Kerry Swift Boat attacks.

The McCain camp and the Swift Boaters must be truly desperate to change
the subject from John McCain’s shocking disconnect with the economic struggles
of the American people.

Take action right now to make sure this trash doesn’t pollute another election:
