Just got off the phone with Gainesville TV station WCJB!
I told the reporter about Bush Campaign getting busted for passing out "Swift Boat" fliers.

--Walked him through finding the press release, also told him about AP story.

He was rushing the info to his producer to try to get it on the 11:00 news...hope it makes it! (And wish I could be there to see it!)

1. Where's the link? EVERYONE should call their local media
and make this known, though I doubt most will report it. :grr:

4. FL? Forget it
No media in FL is going to touch anything anti-Bush. They'd wind up in the Everglades. There is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, below the Bushes, there is NOTHING they won't do to win and they totally control FL. Jeb himself would end up in the Everglades if he doesn't hand the state to Dubya. We are not dealing with a normal family here; we are dealing with crooks and murderers if the need arises.

5. Maybe he can send some cameras to the Repug Headquarters
on 1212 N. Main Street.

The flyers are out in plain sight on an easle right when you go through the front door. I've posted some pics on a couple of other threads.

10. Thanks for calling the station in Gainseville, neen.
I'm sure you'll let us know if they do air the story.

I think Gainsville is one of the more Liberal areas of Florida, is it not?

11. How did you get through?
I just called and can't get an answer. They really need to get some video with the flyers posted at the Repug Headquarters, before the Repugs wake up tomorrow and get rid of the evidence.

Volunteer links anti-Kerry flier to GOP
By Pete Yost, Associated Press Writer | August 20, 2004

CRAWFORD, Texas -- A volunteer for John Kerry said Friday he picked up a flier in Bush-Cheney headquarters in Gainesville, Fla., promoting Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group the Bush campaign has insisted for weeks it has no connection to.

The Kerry campaign e-mailed the flier to news organizations Friday, declaring that the Bush-Cheney campaign was "busted" for coordinating "in their smear campaign against John Kerry."
