Move On wants to run tv ads against Bush

[Eric J in MN]

The Move On Voter Fund is trying to raise $10 million to run tv commercials against Bush in key states.

They've raised $4.3 million (at the time of this writing).

Please consider chipping in, and/or spreading the word.

1. I hope that contest is used to get talent to do the commercials

and more than that, they better pick some of my mine!

or I'll jump up and down!

2. Question

Is this the one where Soros is giving 50 cents for every dollar donated?

3. I don't know

I've heard that George Soros supports Move On, but I hadn't heard that he's giving matching funds to the Move On Voter Fund.

6. my understanding is that Soros is pledging 5 million

as a match for 10 million to be raised by MoveOn--so MoveOn is actually raising 15 million (but I might be wrong on this interpretation)

7. I hope the tv ads start soon

There is anti-Bush momentum they could build upon. The sooner they start running the ads, the better.

9. If I'm not mistaken

I think there intention, if I remember the e-mail correctly, is to run ads in 200 media markets. That's pretty much every damn town with a transmitter.
