If we reach at least $21,285, then we will give money to: The Cincinnati Enquirer
This campaign is raising money to run a full-page ad in the Cincinnati Enquirer that cuts through the spin and tells the truth: Sarah Palin is wrong for women, dangerous for the war on terror, and is distracting voters from the fact that McCain has spent his entire career supporting policies that have allowed Wall Street to gamble away Americans’ retirement.
Our community will write the ad during the life of this campaign. Read the statement of principles and contribute your ideas to the ad’s wiki page. Once complete, we’ll repeat in crucial states through election day.
This campaign does not seek formal endorsements from politicians or organizations. It is 100% by the people, for the people.
We will print the names of as many contributors as possible in the ad (if you would not like your name printed, check the box to join anonymously).
We cannot afford to have Sarah Palin a heartbeat from the presidency. Please help.
Hey, folks—
Election day is coming up. I’d like to make a motion that we switch our target to a 1/2 page ad in a smaller paper with a moderate readership in Ohio or Indiana.
I need to double check the procedures for doing this, but please respond in a discussion post if you are in favor. We do have a large chunk of money here, and I’d hate to see us not have an impact just because we’re not tipping the original goal amount.

Jane, you are a nut-case.
How about the fact that John McCain hired a man who was a lobbyist for Saddam Hussein and is friends with G. Gordon Liddy?
Or that Sarah Palin supports the Alaska Independence Party. Talk about anti-American- she’s MARRIED to a secessionist!
And, Fox news? FOX NEWS? Really?
Sadly, you are a lost cause.
By the way, it’s NIT-PICKING, not “nip-picking”.
Also, for the record, Obama both supported the overturning of the hand-gun ban in DC and FISA. I say this as an Obama supporter who was disappointed with him on both counts.
For you northern folks, it’s nit-picking, but for us southern folks it’s nip-picking!
I am not a northern folk, and nip-picking isn’t even in the dictionary (nit-picking is).
OK, enough already! can we just agree to disagree? This is exactly what Obama is talking about. We have to put our differences aside, roll up our sleeves and get down to business. I think we can all agree that this country is in deep trouble and we all need to work hard to get it back on track. Use the money, place the ad, go vote and lets put it all behind us!
I am from the north & I was raised in the South & it’s nit-picking. lol….
& Obama is president so…
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Goodness, I am not sure I would be saying that if I were you, have you noticed anything since he has been in office. The stock market is crashing, people are losing jobs, taxes are increasing, veterans are losing thier benefits and much much more. The madness has got to stop, if he is going to fix whats broken, maybe be should try and pull out the manual instead of going into it bull headed. Get ready ladies and gentleman, we are about to hit another great depression and those who voted for this guy might just be about to /facepalm when they see the error of thier ways.
I closed the campaign, “Fight Back: give swing voters the facts about Sarah Palin”.

Hi, everyone-
I wanted to make sure you all got the last post. I just called my local campaign office, and will be spending the day on election day making calls to get out the vote. Please join me, especially if you’ve got the day off! Let’s make this commitment as a group!

Hi, all-
OK, so we haven’t heard back from everyone, and time is short. Many of you wanted to support getting a smaller ad, but since we can’t change course without unanimous approval, I have a different proposal. Thank you all SO MUCH for joining. We can still be in this together. While it’s too late to put at ad in the paper, it is NOT too late to get on the phone and call people to get out the vote. If you’ve never done this, let me tell you, it feels great. It’s easy (instructions on www.mybarackobama.com). You’ll be contacting likely supporters with information about polling places, etc, making sure that everyone who WANTS to vote CAN vote. Let’s work as a group and be a part of history. Join the new campaign at the following link: give 20 minutes of your time, instead of your money.
