John McCain does not have the ability to fix this economic crisis. After declaring the fundamentals of the economy strong, he created a political circus in Washington last week by mucking up bailout negotiations; a deplorable stunt, considering he and his political cronies helped cause the current meltdown. It was McCain and his economic adviser Phil Gramm who pushed for the deregulation that helped lead to the banking crisis, and it was McCain s crony Rick Davis who had deep lobbyist ties to Freddie Mac. Don t let others be fooled by McCain s economic grandstanding because the reality is his policies and principles will only exacerbate our financial hardships. That s why you must spread this video.McCain is being deceitful with his sudden populist message and support for regulation; his economic policies still favor our nation s wealthy elite. Call out McCain s economic dishonesty. Send this video to friends and ask them to sign up for a free Brave New Films video subscription to know the latest on TheRealMcCain.com. Then, post it on your blogs and spread it on networking sites like Digg and Reddit. These are some of the best ways to reach people who are not following this debate closely. Let s make sure everyone knows McCain can t get us out of the mess he got us into in the first place.

The state of John McCain s health is an issue of grave concern for all Americans, regardless of political persuasion. Given the fact that he has been treated for an invasive melanoma and other maladies, it is important that he release his full health records. For a very brief three hours in May, McCain released 1,173 pages of his medical records to a carefully selected group of reporters. They were not allowed to make any copies or phone calls. Why such secrecy? We have enlisted a group of doctors from around the country to lead the effort to make sure the public is able to see and make judgments for themselves. Secrecy is not of service to our democracy, transparency is. Cancer is a serious issue. That s why 681 (and counting) medical doctors have already signed our open letter telling McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all his medical records. Send this video far and wide to request that McCain release his full health records. Ask every medical doctor you know to sign onto the letter, and be sure to sign the letter yourself! McCain s records must be made public and soon. While McCain doesn t really care about our health care, we all should care about the health of McCain.

http://therealmccain.com/butler John McCain has been exploiting his prisoner of war experience every chance he gets. He has used this story to justify everything from not knowing how many homes he has to his healthcare plan to his marital infidelities to his taste in music. The McCain campaign is even using his POW story in paid ads. But now a veteran who was a prisoner with McCain in Vietnam is explaining loud and clear that being a POW does not qualify McCain to lead our country. Dr. Phillip Butler knew McCain as a fellow POW. Watch and listen! We are sure this video will draw an onslaught of right-wing attacks, but we bring it to you because it is our job to continue to convey the truth together and give these issues national attention. As Dr. Butler has said, McCain does not have the temperament to have his finger near the red button. Get this video to everyone you know—friends, family members, coworkers, and especially those who don't share your political views. The video is designed to reach them. Get it on your social networking sites like Digg. And get it to every blog, newspaper, and TV station that has ever overplayed McCain's POW story. It is time to fight back with truth! The mainstream press has already begun to call out McCain for overusing his POW story. And it's cut across all political persuasions. * Whether he's deflecting criticism over his health-care plan or mocking a tribute to the Woodstock music festival, Senator John McCain has a trump card: the Hanoi Hilton. — Edwin Chen, Bloomberg * Noun, Verb, POW — Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic Monthly * The McCain campaign's constant invocation of the candidate's POW past is weird bordering on irrational... — Ana Marie Cox, TIME * I think they are going to it way too many times. — Howard Fineman, Newsweek Remember how Joe Biden got the press to refer to Rudy Giuliani as A noun, a verb, and 9/11 ? Well, let's actually take Andrew Sullivan's lead here and get the media to boil McCain down to a similar phrase: A noun, a verb, and POW. Considering how often the McCain campaign invokes his POW story, isn't that what they're already doing?

Not only does John McCain have at least 10 properties he can t remember, but he also owns a parking lot in Phoenix Arizona worth between $1.4 and $2.4 million. That s over $1 million more than the average American home!It s no wonder McCain has said time and time again that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. He s living in the land of affluence, and has no concept of just how terrible our economy has become under President Bush. According to the U.S. Census, 37.3 million people were living in poverty in 2007. 45.7 million (15.3 percent of the population) don t have health insurance a staggering number that has risen by 6 million since Bush took office in 2001. And yet McCain extols Bush s economy and proposes his own policies that would sink our country further into debt.AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said that when it comes to the economy, I think John McCain is wrong. He doesn t even know how many homes he has. We ve seen the McCain position as just a continuation of the Bush Administration. It s President Bush s policies that got us into the mess that we have now. And it s not only a short term crisis, it s long term and it has to be addressed. Workers are having a tough time. The wage inequality that s out there is unbelievable, and health care and retirement security are threatened. Those are some of the reasons that we re not supporting John McCain. When we launched McCain s Mansions, you recognized that McCain is out of touch with hard-working Americans. That s why you spread it around and got the mainstream media to take notice and question McCain on this issue. It exposed McCain for the elitist he really is, and turned our ailing economy into a number one issue for Democrats. Now s your chance to keep the economy front and center by spreading McCain s Million Dollar Parking Lot. Let everyone know that while the majority of Americans are struggling to make mortgage payments and pay for necessities like health insurance and gas, John McCain has a parking lot worth $1 million more than the average home.

Our first episode! Arianna Huffington joins Robert Greenwald and Cenk Uygur for a discussion on progressive infrastructure and the netroots. Then Marcy Wheeler, Baratunde Thurston and Liliana Segura discuss Karl Rove's refusal to testify in the Don Siegelman Case. Comment at meetthebloggers.org.

This sounds like a dream, doesn t it? Well, it s not. We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action. All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We ve never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it s a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration. We put together this video to explain the issues surrounding Rove s failure to testify before Congress, and why Rove should be held in contempt and sent to jail. Check out Send Karl Rove to Jail, and sign our petition to ensure that the HJC holds Rove in contempt. Today at 1pm ET / 10am PT, the first episode of Meet the Bloggers will air live, and Karl Rove will be the big topic of discussion with bloggers Marcy Wheeler, Liliana Segura, Baratunde Thurston, and special guest Arianna Huffington. The video will be featured on the show, sign the petition, forward it to friends (don t forget to Digg it), and go to meetthebloggers.org to send in your own thoughts, and join the discussion at 1pm ET. If you can t watch live, you can always see what was discussed on the show anytime you want at meetthebloggers.org.

You know how we re always attempting to make an impact with our films? We helped spread the word about hard-hitting documentaries like Outfoxed, Wal-Mart, and Iraq for Sale. Our sister organization, Brave New Films, then started making its own short videos like The REAL McCain and our FOX Attacks series, and you saw the chance to reach even more people by spreading them all over the web.
