Opportunity to Act Against Ads

2006-02-16T16:46:00.000-06:00

Letter from the Minnesota DFL

Below is a letter sent by the Minnesota DFL in regard to the Progress for America Voter Fund ads being run on KARE 11.

*********************************

Dear DFLer,

I’ve heard from many of you that you are disturbed by the misleading “Midwest Heroes” ads produced by Progress for America Voter Fund that are currently being run by KARE 11 and WCCO. The ads erroneously make a connection between Iraq and the 9/11 terrorists attacks and suggest that the war in Iraq will prevent an attack by Al Queda in America. The 9/11 Commission findings clearly state that there was no connection between Iraq and the the Al Queda terrorists attacks on 9/11. We must call for media responsibility regarding this issue. We have extraordinary sympathy for our troops and their families and believe that while our soldiers’ role is to protect the citizens of our country, it is our role as citizens to protect our soldiers and to make certain that they are not misused. It is a travesty that the tragedies of five countries and the deaths of our brave men and women are being used in this type of propaganda.

Right now, our state is a testing ground for these ads. If Minnesota speaks out and says no to this ad, the entire country can thank us. What we do here, now, will have an enormous impact on the success or failure of this kind of swiftboating in 06.

You can view the ads at:

http://www.midwestheroes.com/

Additionally, WCCO did a Reality Check stating that the ad is misleading and partly true, which in my mind means that it is partly false. See it at:

http://www.wcco.com/video/?id=14609@wcco.dayport.com

If you feel that this ad is doing a disservice to our troops and is misleading at best, and pure propaganda at worst, please call:

KARE 11 at 763 546 1111
WCCO at 612 370 0611

to ask for the removal of the ads. Letters to the Editor in your local paper would be helpful to point out the untruths being communicated to citizens as fact. Thanks in advance for being a voice of truth, and for all that you do to improve the state of our nation and state.

DFL Chair Brian Melendez will be holding a press conference at the State Capitol today at 2:30 to ask that this ad be pulled from the air waves. He will be joined by congressional candidate and veteran Tim Walz. Please tune in to your evening news to see coverage of this important event.

Sincerely,

Donna

Donna Cassutt, Associate Chair,
Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

The forum will start at 5 p.m. in Auerbach Commons with an hour of registration, appetizers, drinks, and mingling, followed at 6 pm with an hour-long conversation with the panelists in Lockhart Hall. After the conversation, a reception will follow. This event is open to the public and students will be given priority registration.

Borene for Senate

2006-02-15T13:22:00.000-06:00

Fellow U of M 2L Running for State Senate!
Many of you may know that a University of Minnesota Law Student, Andrew Borene, is running for Minnesota State Senate (District 41). If you haven’t heard about fellow 2L Borene’s candidacy, take a look at your fellow classmates computers—more than a few of them have Borene for Senate stickers!

Although it is early in the 2006 election season, Borene’s campaign is already gaining momentum. His candidacy was featured in a KARE 11 news story about veterans running as Democrats and his kick off event was standing room only!!

Interested in helping out the Borene Campaign? For more information on volunteering your time email the campaign directly. If you would like to contribute to the Borene Campaign, the campaign web page has information on donating and the Campaign Contribution Refund program.

For information about candidates participating in this program, look at the Campaign Finance Board’s list of Campaigns who have said “yes” to Public Subsidies.

For information about the program, who can participate and how go to the Political Contribution Refund webpage.
