Message-ID: <200903200905.n2K95EjG028305@wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us> Dear Davis Democratic Club Member or interested Progressive, This e-mail announcement is about a documentary film and protest against Rush Limbaugh and his "hate radio" program. Rush Limbaugh is being criticized by both the Right and the Left as to being the head of a rightist cult. Rush Limbaugh had his start in Sacramento on KFBK, so this documentary is being premiered in his "adopted hometown." I am hoping to make this event at the Crest Theater in Sacramento. This is not an event of the Davis Democratic Club, so it is being sent through this Democratic list for these kind of events and announcements. Also, it is the view of some of the DDC Board that this event only will make Rush Limbaugh that much more popular and strengthen the resolve of his listening audience. I for one am fed up with hearing his rhetoric of hate over the airways and think that it is time for people to start speaking out against him. He was the first and there are more and more conservative talk show hosts on the airwaves that preach more of a message of hate and intollerance and disunity in this time of severe economic upheaval. Let us not kid ourselves. We are in a depression. We need government social programs to help the growing number of unemployed and their dependents. Access Sacramento and Sacramento Media Group, and CA. Common Cause, in association with the Sacramento International Film Festival, present the West Coast Premiere of the Public Interest Pictures film ---------------------- Sunday - March 22, 2009 Screening 2:00pm Clear Channel neglects its emergency system, disaster strikes, and people die. Pentagon pundits profit from the same war they promote. Fox News gets a court ruling that news does not have to be true. And radio talkers rule. Media Policy is killing people in this country. Literally. And it is harming our democracy, too. Corporate financed policymakers have stacked the media policy deck against We the People. Until now. We the People are taking the media back.

Common Cause and Sacramento Media Group e-mail from Harry Cowan: Our documentary film premiers this Sunday, March 22nd at the Crest Theater in Sacramento.

Sue Wilson, the producer, wrote an opinion piece in the Sacramento Bee on the demise of progressive talk radio in Sacramento and all over the country. Rush read the article on his show. PLEASE GO TO broadcastblues.tv to see a preview of the film and Rush's response to Sue's article. We need to make this protest a news event. With your help we can get some support there and force the media to cover it and Rush to respond to it. Sue will be challenging Rush to a debate. Sue is also on Capital Public Radio today at 2:30 PM on Insight.

I just wanted to make sure you saw my message from last week. President Obama needs Senators like Paul Hodes and Kirsten Gillibrand in the U.S. Senate to pass his ambitious agenda. Please make a contribution to Paul and Kirsten before tomorrow's midnight deadline! Thanks so much for everything. - Wes ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wes Clark Date: Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 11:23 AM Subject: You Make a Difference Make a difference before the March 31st fundraising deadline. Support Paul Hodes in New Hampshire and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York. Donate to Paul and Kirsten's campaigns today! There's no doubt about it: You make a difference. With your help, WesPAC helped Democrats in 2006 take over both Houses of Congress for the first time in over a decade. And in 2008, you helped Democrats expand our majorities and take back the White House. Now, two of those candidates you first helped elect to the U.S. House in 2006 are in critical Senate races for 2010: Paul Hodes in New Hampshire and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York. Both are facing the important March 31st fundraising deadline -- their first critical test to show the press, pundits, and their opponents that they have the support they need to win their important Senate races. Let's make sure they pass this test. Join me and donate to Paul and Kirsten's campaigns now, before the critical March 31st fundraising deadline! http://www.actblue.com/page/makedifference Paul Hodes has been a leader in New Hampshire for decades. He led the first successful criminal environmental prosecution in the state. And when he arrived in Congress, he immediately got to work, passing Michelle's Law to expand health care for college kids when they get sick in school. In New Hampshire, Democrats control the state legislature, the Governorship, both House seats, and one Senate seat. The open Senate seat that Paul is running for in 2010, being vacated by Republican Judd Gregg, is the last major GOP holdout. Paul's race is our best opportunity to pick up a Senate seat in 2010. However, with former Republican Senator John Sununu being recruited by his father to run again, it is imperative that Paul's first quarter fundraising numbers are strong. We have to show all the political insiders -- including John Sununu -- that the GOP's tall task isn't just beating Paul, but beating a huge army of grassroots supporters standing with him. Help Paul show New Hampshire that he's ready to be the 60th Democratic seat in the Senate. Contribute to his campaign today! http://www.actblue.com/page/makedifference In 2006, I went up to NY-20 in the final weekend before the election to campaign with Kirsten Gillibrand. Kirsten was one of the most impressive candidates I met the entire cycle, and I was thrilled we helped her win in a tough, Republican district. Kirsten is a strong advocate for women and has consistently voted against torture, illegal wiretapping, school vouchers, and disability discrimination. In January 2009, Kirsten was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill Hillary Clinton's seat when Hillary became Secretary of State. Now potential opponents are lining up to try and take this seat. And just like Paul's campaign, the media and potential opponents will look hard at this fundraising report to see if she can win. Please make a difference again. Let's give Kirsten the early support she needs and help her close the March 31st fundraising quarter strong. http://www.actblue.com/page/makedifference Our Clark community first helped elect Paul and Kirsten to the U.S. House in 2006. Now let's help elect them to the U.S. Senate in 2010 -- so they can continue to serve our country in Congress. Sincerely, Wes Clark Support Kirsten and Paul!
