Starting today, your Democratic Party is launching a hard-hitting TV ad campaign that demands an independent, bipartisan investigation into President Bush's misleading statements in his 2003 State of the Union address.

But the Republican Party is feverishly working to keep this ad off the
air. Why? Because they are afraid of the truth. Since this scandal first broke, the White House and Bush have been scrambling to bury the truth:
>
> * They've attacked reporters who have written critical stories of what Bush knew and when.
> * Bush's Republican allies in Congress defeated the first call for an independent investigation on a party-line vote.
> * And now the President's lawyers at the Republican National
Committee are trying desperately to keep this TV ad off the air.
>
>A lawyer from the Republican National Committee has now sent a
threatening letter to TV stations in Madison, WI (where the ad is currently running) trying to intimidate stations into not running the ad. (The text of the letter is below.) The DNC ad, however, is 100 percent true -- the President misled the public during the State of the Union.

>To make sure Republicans don't bury the truth, we need your immediate help:
>
> * Make a generous donation to the DNC to help us run this TV ad across the nation.

thank you. But be sure to tell your friends.

>You can read the RNC letter for yourself below. They actually say that no one has the "right to willfully spread false information in a deliberate attempt to mislead the American people." We agree. And that's why we are demanding an independent investigation of President Bush, and why we want to run this hard-hitting ad in as many places as we can. Don't let Republicans and the White House bury the truth.

>THE RNC LETTER
>
>The Republican National Committee is trying to intimidate TV stations into not running the ads. Here's the letter its lawyer sent to TV stations.
>
>Dear Station Manager:
>
>It has come to our attention that your station will begin airing false and misleading advertisements on July 21, 2003, paid for by the Democratic National Committee. The advertisement in question misrepresents President George W. Bush's January 28, 2003, State of the Union address. The advertisement states that President Bush said, "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." In fact, President Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." By selectively
quoting President Bush, the advertisement is deliberately false and misleading. Furthermore, the British government continues to stand by its intelligence and asserts that it believes the intelligence is genuine.
The Democratic National Committee certainly has a legitimate First Amendment right to participate in political debate, but it has no
right to willfully spread false information in a deliberate attempt to mislead the American people. These advertisements will not be run by legally qualified candidates; therefore, your station is under no legal obligation to air them. On the contrary, as an FCC licensee you have the responsibility to exercise independent editorial judgment to not only oversee and protect the
>American marketplace of ideas, essential for the health of our
democracy, but also to avoid deliberate misrepresentations of the facts. Such obligations must be taken seriously.
This letter puts you on notice that the information contained in the above-cited advertisement is false and misleading; therefore, you are obligated to refrain from airing this advertisement.

>Respectfully,

>Caroline C. Hunter
>Counsel

and wouldn't it be neat if the networks started airing this letter?
