              Dear Stan Spiegel,

              Tonight, don't let George Bush's henchmen steal another victory. 
We need your online help immediately after the debate, so save this email, 
print it out, and have it ready with you as you watch the first Presidential 
debate tonight.

              We all know what happened in 2000. Al Gore won the first debate 
on the issues, but Republicans stole the post-debate spin. We are not going to 
let that happen again, and you will play a big role.

              Immediately after the debate, we need you to do three things: 
vote in online polls, write a letter to the editor, and call in to talk radio 
programs. Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the 
difference.

              Vote
              National and local news organizations will be conducting online 
polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online 
polls at these national news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of 
them:

                a.. ABC News: http://www.abcnews.com/ 
                b.. CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/ 
                c.. CNN: http://www.cnn.com/ 
                d.. Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/ 
                e.. MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/ 
                f.. USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/ 
              And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV 
stations for online polls. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes 
immediately following the debate.

              Write
              Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the 
editor of your local paper. If you feel John Kerry commanded the debate and had 
a clear plan for fixing the mess in Iraq, put it in your letter. If you feel 
George Bush dodged tough questions on Iraq and didn't level with voters, put it 
in your letter.

              With just a few clicks, you can write your letter at our online 
media center:

              http://www.democrats.org/media/

              Call
              Do you listen to national or local call-in shows on the radio? 
How about on TV? Call them and let them know what you thought of John Kerry's 
plan to keep America secure and George Bush's continuing refusal to admit the 
truth about his record.

              Here are some national shows to get you started. (All times are 
Eastern.)

                a.. Air America (all day): 646-274-2346 
                b.. Alan Colmes (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.): 212-301-5900 
                c.. Ed Shultz (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.): 701-232-1525 
                d.. Bev Smith (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.): 412-325-4197 
                e.. Doug Stephen (5 a.m. 10 a.m.): 1-800-510-8255 
              Find shows in your area on our media website:

              http://www.democrats.org/media/find.html

              Your actions immediately after the debate tonight can help John 
Kerry win on November 2. Make your voice heard!

              Don't forget to visit our 2004 Debate Center before, during, and 
after the debate for important information, including questions Bush must 
answer, a Bush/Kerry contrast on keeping America safe, and Bush Debate Bingo, a 
game you can play with friends during the debate.

              And after the debate, check your email for a very special message.

              Thank you, 


              Terry McAuliffe
              Chairman

              PS: Make sure to forward this email to at least 10 other people

family members, coworkers and neighbors and get them involved.
