Action Alert: Say NO to Bush's Hitler Ad
President Bush is running a new ad on his campaign website that
features an image of Adolf Hitler along with John Kerry and other
Democrats. Bush has sunk to a new low in a campaign that has already
relied entirely upon negative attacks.
Sign our petition today and demand that President Bush remove his
disgusting new ad and apologize to Democrats for putting them on the same
level as Adolf Hitler. Click
here to sign the petition.

Worth Repeating
"We attacked a sovereign nation, and we went in there and we
did things that the United States shouldn't have done. I feel that we went
after the wrong people, and it's unacceptable, and it's absolutely
ridiculous that innocent people are dying over there in Iraq, and our own
troops are dying for a cause that is not just.
