Our general talking points:
Sinclair is going to force 40 stations to air this attack ad as 'news', but we want to make sure that every American knows that this isn't news. It is just another partisan attack ad designed to deflect attention away from the disastrous record of the Bush/Cheney administration.

7. Everyone's gone to protest, why not you???
lol .... I live in NYC so there really isn't anything else I can do or else I would. I already sent numerous letters out, so I've done my part. It's up to people who live near stations to do theirs.

8. interesting note: the WLOS general manager resigned today!
the WLOS general manager resigned today, and declined to say why (saying only that "it was time")
