The Petition Page:
Stop 'USA Next'
The right-wing fringe has declared war on Social Security -- and USA Next, a front group for radical conservatives who want to dismantle Social Security, has led the fight with bigoted, hate-filled ads.

You won't be surprised to hear who they hired to publicize their efforts: the same team of hatchet men that ran the Swift Boat smear campaign against John Kerry. Now they are targeting the AARP, a group that millions of seniors rely on to defend their interests.

We must stop these people -- now.

This petition will be delivered by local DFA Meetup groups to every TV station that tries to air the USA Next attack ads.

Worse Than We Thought
Get ready for the Republican anti-Social Security blitz.

A couple of weeks ago, the right-wing front group "USA Next" made national news when it started its anti-Social Security campaign with a bigoted, hateful ad. You helped create a backlash so strong that it spent the next few weeks licking its wounds.

Now they're back. USA Next is set to go on the air with its political hate speech in the next two weeks. You built the momentum—we can't let up now. Remember—the USA Next ads come from the same Republican operatives who unleashed the swift boat attacks.

And USA Next isn't the only player—it is just one of dozens of entities that funnel money from corporations and right-wing billionaires into our political process. They have pledged to spend whatever it takes to dismantle Social Security.

Their latest project: producing distorted polls to generate news coverage and "evidence" of support for their privatization agenda. It's part of a coordinated effort by corporate interests and conservative ideologues to wage a multi-front war on Social Security.

Fox News, of course, featured the results of the biased poll. But so did other news outlets—they need to be put on notice that they will be held accountable for airing USA Next's distortions. Tell your friends to join the call for accountability now.

1. Signed it...

Hypocrites in the media had better not be airing ads from the Right while they deny ads from the Left.

2. Thanks. I guess we thought they were through with the issue.

I saw several posts at kos today about keeping an eye out on them.
