Bush Is Going To Lie Tonight

Bush Is Going To Lie Tonight

ACT

He has done it before. He will do it again.

George W. Bush is going to tell a couple of whoppers at tonight's debate and we can't let him get away with it!

Join ACT's fight for the truth today.

When George Bush and John Kerry take the stage for the first presidential debate, Americans everywhere will be watching. Millions of voters will decide who to support on Thursday night.

ACT is sponsoring a "Truth Canvass" to pre-empt and respond to Bush's lies head-on. Thousands of canvassers and volunteers in battleground states will go door-to-door to talk to voters about the debate.

On Saturday, please join the entire ACT team and thousands of volunteers as we knock on the doors of over 60,000 battleground state voters. Help take the truth about Bush's record to the voters' doorsteps.

There are three easy things you can do right now to help the truth win round one of the presidential debates:

1) Download and print "Truth Canvass" fact sheets to post in your office, on campus or any place it will be seen.

2) Spread the word by telling your friends and family about ACT's work. Encourage them to watch the debate and learn learn a more about the facts.

3) Sign-up to talk to voters in a swing state about Bush's lies this Saturday, October 2.

Although John Kerry will be standing across the stage, George Bush will really be debating the truth at Thursday night's debate on foreign policy.

When it comes to Iraq, Bush has misled us time and time again. He led us into Iraq under the guise of fighting terror, though the war in Iraq has made us less safe and has taken resources away from pursuing Osama bin Laden. He has told us that the situation in Iraq is getting better, while the US casualty rate has doubled and the CIA's own forecast is for things to get worse. And we'd all like to know what happened to the weapons of mass destruction that Bush said were the primary reason for going to war. Even Republicans and members his own administration disagree with the Bush's assessment of the war and reconstruction in Iraq.

Don't wait. Help the truth prevail by taking ACTion now.

No one said this would be easy. But if we all ACT together, the truth will prevail.

With great appreciation,

Steve Rosenthal

America Coming Together
