Hey Guys,
As you may or may not know, the super bowl is coming up. This is not so
important, however, what is important is that bush will be showing some very
controversial ads during this time(he can't help but to lie during them, thus
making them controversial). I am a member of moveon.org, an organization that
focuses around getting bush out of the white house in many different ways.
Anyway, they had a contest to produce an ad which describes bush in 30
seconds... you can visit the site at www.bushin30seconds.org. And the winning
ad is very good, and this grassroots organization has fundraised enough money
to have it play during the superbowl, however, CBS refuses to show it as it
is "too controversial." Please view the ad if you have not already and sign the
petition to make cbs show the ad(its actually a letter). Here are the sites.
the ad
http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/
after viewing it here you will have a link to send a letter about it. Please
do this and send it to as many people as possible. This is important.
Thanks,
Danielle

Subject: The ad CBS will not air

Dear friend,

During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies,
tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad
in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air
it.

Meanwhile, the White House and Congressional Republicans are on the verge of
signing into law a deal which Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says is custom-
tailored for CBS and Fox, allowing the two networks to grow much bigger. CBS
lobbied hard for this rule change; MoveOn.org members across the country
lobbied against it; and now the MoveOn.org ad has been rejected while the White
House ad will be played. It looks an awful lot like CBS is playing politics
with the right to free speech.

Of course, this is bigger than just the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitted an ad that was also rejected. We
need to let CBS know that this practice of arbitrarily turning down ads that
may be "controversial" – especially if they're controversial simply because
they take on the President – just isn't right.

To watch the ad that CBS won't air and sign the petition to CBS to run these
ads, go to:
http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/

MoveOn.org will deliver the petition by email directly to CBS headquarters.

Thanks.
