Dems ordered to trash Bush on TV...
Campaigns and political parties often provide sample messages that
supporters can repeat in media appearances. The Democratic memo includes this
just-add-water message template for Democratic senators to propagate: “President Bush has proven beyond any doubt that he won’t listen to the Congress or the American people unless he is forced to. While some Senate Republicans might not want to change course in Iraq, it does not gives them the right to block an up or down vote on legislation supported by a majority of the Congress and the
American people.”
The memo says Senate Democrats are coordinating with their House
counterparts to produce an echo effect during floor speeches in the other
chamber. Under a section called, “Amplifying Our Message to Force a Change Of
Course in Iraq,” the memo gives this overview: --
“Senate Democrats will tape TV feeds and actualities back to their home
states.” --
“Outside groups will hold a 'call to action' event Tuesday night to
call on Republicans to end their Iraq filibuster.” --
“Iraq veterans will make visits to Senate offices asking Republican
Senators to allow an up or down vote on the Levin-Reed Amendment.” --
“Center for American Progress will live-blog the all night session.”
--
“Senate Democrats will conduct interviews on national cable and radio.”
--
“The Steering and Outreach Committee will release a video of Iraq
veterans and military families calling for a change of course in
Iraq.”
Are we now obliged to call Reid Godfather?
