Senator McCain, You do NOT Speak for me
Yesterday, John McCain made this statement, referring to the Russian/Georgian Situation.

He said,

"I told him that I know I speak for every American when I said to him, today, we are all Georgians," McCain told a cheering crowd in York, Pa.

=====================================

Senator McCain, I have never been a Georgian, not yesterday, not the day before, and not ever. I am an American, and calling me a Georgian is offensive.

I find your comment to be totally out of order, and I, for one, take personal offense to it as I am sure millions of other Americans do.

I would hope, and expect, that you would publicly retract that comment, which is totally in error and a lie

=======================================

3. Done
I have sent it to Rachel Maddow, Jack Cafferty, Dan Abrams of MSNBC, will send to Olbermann, and a few other AAR and Nova M on air personalities. Posted on Ed Schultz forum and soon on Randi Rhodes forum.

And I will enter it on my blog on the Obama08 web site.

2. I just finished writing CNN and said......
John McCain is an unbelievably arrogant man, and he appears to believe himself to be the President of the United States when he is not. I am waiting for the media to give equal treatment to the manner they treated Barack Obama just a couple of weeks ago, when all day for a few days was a question on his presumptiousness and his "uppitiness". I believe that CNN has the duty to do the same story about John McCain, with his weekly radio addresses, calling himself President, telling the world that he speaks for the American people, and sending an "delegation" to Georgia. Either CNN is in the business of news or is biased for the White status quo pro Corporation Republican candidate. Which is it? I will be contacting sponsors shortly, and for now have decided to tune your channel out. Your manner of reporting is obvious and blatant and makes CNN treasonous in the manner that it attempts to influence our democracy. To much power in the wrong hands is what I observe when watching CNN these days.

Thank you,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx


Wrote to them here. You can too! They actually read these emails that come through their "story idea" feedback link! http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form11b.html?2
