Today we're launching our "Bush in 30 Seconds" video, which includes all of the contest finalists and thirty other great ads. We've also included the "Bush in 30 Seconds Live" awards show featuring Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Moby, Rufus Wainwright, Michael Moore, Julia Stiles, John Sayles, Chuck D, and others. If you donate $30 or more to the Voter Fund today, we'll send you a copy in DVD or VHS format, and every cent of your donation will help get the ads on TV. You can get your copy now at:

As you know, we've had some trouble getting "Child's Pay," the winning "Bush in 30 Seconds" ad, on the air. Now, thanks to your efforts, it's airing in states across the country. And "Polygraph," one of the runners-up, will follow, delivering a succinct and devastating message about the gap between what President Bush told us and the truth. We hope to continue airing ads from the contest over the next few months, highlighting the democratic way they came to us while also revealing the real effects of President Bush's policies. But we don't have to rely solely on advertising to get these ads out there. The "Bush in 30 Seconds" video allows us to show the ads directly to the public. We've received hundreds of requests for copies of the ads, from the U.S. Senate to a TV station in Australia. Film festivals are asking to show them in between movies. Folks want to hold house parties and watch them. The video makes that easy.

President Bush is raising hundreds of millions of dollars in order to saturate the air waves with negative and misleading ads. We'll never raise as much –- there simply aren't as many folks who can afford to write us $2,000 checks. But there are two things that we have that he does not: creativity, and the truth. And the "Bush in 30 Seconds" video contains a lot of both. Help support our Voter Fund effort to get out the truth in swing states by picking up a copy today.
