Subject: Bombing Iran: Not Funny


Sen. John McCain just sang a song about bombing Iran at a campaign
stop. Can you chip in $25 to run our emergency response ad in early
primary states? Click here to watch the ad and contribute.

Dear MoveOn member,

Have you seen the video?

At a campaign stop on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain was asked what to
do about Iran. His response? He sang "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"
to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann."

Seriously.

He says it was a joke, but the bottom line is that it is reckless
saber-rattling against Iran at a time when tensions are high. Will
you help us counter his message on TV?

War with Iran would be a disaster. The best way to stop this idea
in its tracks is to make sure politicians who talk loosely about
war pay a political price. We've made an emergency TV ad to call
out McCain on his reckless remarks. Click here to watch the ad, and
then please donate $25 to get it up on the air:

If we can raise $100,000 today, we'll be able to run the ad
starting next week. We want to put it on the air in early primary
states like New Hampshire and Iowa. It'll send the message that
Americans want a president who gets us out of the war we are in,
not one who recklessly opens another front.

Even under normal circumstances, it's unusual for a presidential
candidate to casually call for bombing another country. But this
behavior is really out of line now when tensions with Iran are so
high.

McCain's song gave us a glimpse of what we can look forward to if
we don't draw the line now. That's why, overnight, we've put
together a powerful ad that calls out Sen. McCain for his statement
and reminds people that this kind of recklessness is what got us
into the war with Iraq.

Can you help? Take a look at the ad (which includes the footage of
McCain), and chip in $25 to put it on the air at:

Now the time to stop this war before it starts. Thanks for all you do.
