The Fight To Get Out The Vote Continues Part X+1.

Dear Readers, at the risk of repeating myself, or worst beating a dead horse--I am passing this e-mail on because IT SO GRAPHICALLY SHOWS THE DEPTS That the Republican Party has sunk to in their desperation to win this election--THIS IS WHY WE MUST GET OUT THE VOTE--IF EVERY AMERICAN VOTES THEN OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED--SURPRESSION IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ONLY HOPE, Which is Why-->

Thank you for demanding that Clear Channel remove these dangerous billboards from Black and Latino communities. 
Can you ask your friends and family to send them the same message? Below is a sample message that you can copy and paste into an empty email. Please send only to people you know personally — spam only hurts our campaign.

Dear Friend,
It's one of the nastiest voter suppression schemes we've seen: This week, in Black and Latino neighborhoods in Ohio and Wisconsin, an anonymous group started running outrageous billboards that try to scare people away from voting.1
Allowing an anonymous advertiser to create an atmosphere of fear around voting just as the early voting period begins is unacceptable. Please join us in demanding that Clear Channel immediately take down these offensive and dangerous billboards (and please ask your friends and family to do the same):

These billboards are clearly designed to intimidate voters, and they're part of a coordinated right-wing attack on the voting rights of people of color. The billboards are hosted by Clear Channel, a media conglomerate owned by Bain Capital — the same company that Mitt Romney co-founded.2 Clear Channel has tried to avoid any responsibility for the ads, saying that the group who paid for them is responsible for the content. But Clear Channel has rejected billboard ads many times in the past.3,4,5
The myth of widespread "voter fraud" has been used to justify voter suppression efforts again and again. As a result, we've seen new restrictions on voting and voter registration, including discriminatory voter ID laws and voter roll purges. The fact is that voter fraud rarely occurs. In fact, voter fraud happens as infrequently as death by lightning.6
Clear Channel syndicates some of our country’s most conservative commentators like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, and now it is allowing the myth of voter fraud to intimidate Black and Latino voters. Please join us in demanding that Clear Channel immediately remove the billboards, it only takes a moment.
Thanks and Peace,
-- Rashad, Arisha Dani,Charlene, Aimee and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team
