Dear friend,

During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer
companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House.  But you won't
see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad
contest.  CBS refuses to air it.

Meanwhile, the White House and Congressional Republicans are on the
verge of signing into law a deal which Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says
is custom-tailored for CBS and Fox, allowing the two networks to grow
much bigger.  CBS lobbied hard for this rule change; MoveOn.org
members across the country lobbied against it; and now the MoveOn.org
ad has been rejected while the White House ad will be played.  It
looks an awful lot like CBS is playing politics with the right to free
speech.

Of course, this is bigger than just the MoveOn.org Voter Fund.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitted an ad
that was also rejected.  We need to let CBS know that this practice of
arbitrarily turning down ads that may be "controversial"  especially
if they're controversial simply because they take on the President 
just isn't right.

To watch the ad that CBS won't air and sign the petition to CBS to run
these ads, go to: http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/

MoveOn.org will deliver the petition by email directly to CBS
headquarters.

Thanks.

Evan
