Get this “Iraq war” charge off my bill!

100 years of war — Not a joke.
Singing bomb bomb bomb Iran — Out of tune, and NOT funny

We laugh, we yell, we worry.  But, thankfully, we live in a time and a world where we can do something.

You stopped two FOX run debates using the FOX Attacks videos to spread the word, change people's opinions, and influence the media's story.   You helped get advertisers to pull ads from Michael Savage's hateful radio program using the video.  You spread the word about Rudy Giuliani on 9/11 with the investigative videos about the faulty radios and command center, and we saw how the public reacted.

And now, while Clinton and Obama are focused on winning the nomination, we have a job to do.

We can't let the media continue its love affair with John McCain.   We can't let people see a straight shooter when what we really have is a shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy.  We've seen this movie before, and we can't let the next few months pass by by without telling the real story.  We will use humor at times, but this is a very serious campaign to use the horrors of war and the facts of the Iraq recession to reach people.

Will you invest a dollar for every year you think John McCain will keep us in Iraq?  A dollar now could quite possibly save us from the decades of "more wars" McCain has promised. 

Make an investment

At a time when all television spots are fundraised around helping a particular candidate win, there is a critically important role for online communications to play.  We can reach hundreds of thousands online, instantly.  Wired just did an article about this.

Brave New Films was on the case over a year ago with The REAL McCain, and it looked like America was through with him after that.  But now he's back and more dangerous than ever.  We must act now!

    CAMPAIGN SONG:

    OMG – I’ve been waiting for this you HAVE to use Scott McKenzie’s recording of a song JOHN PHILLIPS wrote shortly before his death. “We’ve Been Asking Questions” It is THE MOST PERFECT war-protest-peace-and-change-the-politacal-scene song, and why it has not been played on the radio is beyond me. I SEE ANOTHER partnership blossoming – Call Scott! Please, please, please! (He also sang “If your going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair”). Pleeease! Call Ryan Seacrest to play it! Have them sing it on Idol…Talk about an audience! Please! We Americans (and the world) NEED this song in the worst way! (I have no $$ interest in this – just a heartfelt certainty this song can change American thinking!)

    We’ve Been Asking Questions
    by John Phillips (Sung by Scott McKenzie)

    We’ve been asking questions of everyone we meet
    People that we’ve known for years, neighbors down the street
    How did it happen, how were we played for fools?
    Gamblin’ with our children’s lives in a game that knows no rules
    We need an answer, a reason why
    The rulers wage the wars, but our children fight and die

    Mothers and fathers, you’re charged with your children’s lives
    It’s up to you to cull between the truth and all the lies
    Is there a parent, livin’ on this earth
    Who doesn’t realize what their children’s dreams are worth?
    We need an answer, a reason why
    The rulers wage the wars, but our children fight and die

    Did you ever think about the pain in the night
    Of the mother whose child was killed in the bloody fight?
    Or the young veteran who comes home, but not the same
    Did you ever wonder how it feels to have that pain?

    Presidents and dictators, tyrants and the shahs
    Order you to go to war according to their personal laws
    But don’t blame your mothers and your fathers, or your feelings inside,
    Cause you’re all the victims of generations of lies
    When it comes right down to it, it’s up to you
    The future of the world depends on what you do.
