Let CNN Hear How You Feel

By now you've probably heard of the shameful actions by Susan Roesgen, the CNN reporter who harrassed attendees at yesterday's Chicago Tea Party. Instead of reporting on the Tea Party, Roesgen picked people out of the crowd to confront and argue with, before signing off her report by labeling the tea party movement as "anti-CNN" and "not family viewing."

Many of you have wondered what you can do to register your outrage, and we here at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee are happy to help.

You can write to Ms. Susan Roesgen and express how you feel via her email address here: susan.roesgen@turner.com

And most importantly, let Susan's boss know how unacceptable it is for a journalist to become a left-wing activist in trying to defame and denounce a legitimate and honest political movement by Americans who are being robbed blind by our government and spent into a debt from which will be unimaginably difficult to ever pay off.

So please also write to Philip Kent, the Chairman & CEO of CNN: phil.kent@turner.com

If you missed it you can see the incident that played out on CNN below:

Please note at an anti-Bush rally following Hurricane Katrina, Roesgen gleefully reported that a costumed protestor mocking Bush as Hitler was a "Bush look alike" and yet yesterday sought to engage in a verbal sparring match with a protestor who declared Obama's recent actions have been fascist -- in ways similar to Hitler.

You don't have to agree with that protestor's view to see that Susan Roesgen's bias is so blatant it makes a mockery of CNN's motto: "The Most Trusted Name in News."

IMPORTANT UPDATE - 8:23 PM Eastern: CNN has just shut down Susan Roesgen's email. Instead please email CNN Executive Vice President Ken Jautz at: ken.jautz@cnn.com and CNN Chairman & CEO, Phil Kent at: phil.kent@turner.com

The headline of today's Legislative Gazette says it all:

Conservative PAC comes out swinging in round two

The Our Country Deserves Better PAC (one of the largest conservative political action committee's in America) is working hard to win the upcoming March 31st Special Election for Congress - turning a seat that had been held by a Democrat into one that will be held by a solidly conservative Republican.

But there are only 13 days left until the election and the race is within 4-percentage points according to the latest polls.

We know we've asked for your support several times - and we apologize if this has been a nuisance for some. However, please realize with each email message we reach thousands of new people - or people who maybe didn't read a previous email but now are paying attention to the urgency of this race.

About 3,000 people have contributed to our campaign effort, but we need the financial support of well over 5,000 people. As a PAC we're limited to contributions of $5,000 or less per individual. We're not a big special interest or lobbyist committee. We're a committee of hundreds of thousands of individual Americans just like you. But we need you to invest in this campaign. It's too important for us to lose.

We here at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee thank you for your hard work in opposition to the shameful efforts of President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress to grab nearly $1 TRILLION of your money for programs that had little to do with "economic stimulus." Mostly this was a scam to rip off the taxpayers under the guise of “stimulus” sold with the urgency that if this bill wasn’t passed then terrible things would happen to America.

Barack Obama – who campaigned on the hollow promise of “hope” and “change” instead pedaled fear and lies to push his agenda forward.

But while Obama and the Democrats in Congress may have infuriated us with their shenanigans, we should recognize the impact we had in the national debate over Obama’s big government spending plan. The Senate was overwhelmed with hundreds of thousands of phone calls, emails and FAXes in opposition to pork bill – in fact, we jammed up the phone system and voicemail boxes of Senators repeatedly!

The good news is that your phone calls, emails and FAXes pressured Congress to strip almost $200 billion in spending from the bill. You should be proud of your efforts which helped to minimize the confiscatory policies of Obama and the Democratic Congress.

But this experience should also be a lesson for all of us -- until we take back Congress from the Far Left that currently holds control, they will be able to push through their agenda, even when Americans speak out loudly.

The Obama Administration has already threatened additional stimulus proposals to follow – they want more of your money and they are going to take it. It has now been announced that Obama’s scandal-tinged chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel, is going to take control of the census. This will enable Obama’s administration to manipulate the results in order to ensure Democratic control over Congress for the next 10 years.

And now Democrats in Congress are talking about implementing the Fairness Doctrine so they can silence many of the conservative voices on talk radio (such as Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity) and instead replace them with liberal programs.

So let’s be clear about this – we MUST win back control of Congress and defeat the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Democratic candidates in the upcoming 2010 congressional elections.

The Our Country Deserves Better Committee is already working to build a strong campaign to defeat dozens of these big-spending Democrats.

The Obama Honeymoon is Over

From Sal Russo and Our Country Deserves Better PAC

Not the Change Obama Promised

First, it's important we address an issue that some people have raised, and that is: "Why now? Isn't it too early to criticize Barack Obama?"

I put out a statement to conservative blogs and activists yesterday addressing this question and here is a portion of that response:

“It’s ideological suicide for conservatives to sit back silent while Obama pushes for untold hundreds of billions in new spending and bailouts. If conservatives and Republicans can’t find within them the ideological conviction to oppose this fleecing of the taxpayers, then what is it that we stand for?” asked Sal Russo, Chief Strategist for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee.

Russo, who got his start in politics as an aide to Governor Ronald Reagan, rejected the calls made by some Republicans to hold off in speaking out against Obama’s policies.

“Some people have said we shouldn’t speak up now for our beliefs, but instead hold off for now. To these individuals I ask when do they propose we begin to stand up for our principles? Will waiting a month or year to fight for our beliefs somehow advance the cause of conservatism? Will it help America for us to sit back and let Obama push his agenda forward unopposed?

“It seems to me that being silent and acquiescent now further empowers Obama, and further entrenches this notion that big government liberalism is somehow acceptable. It’s the antithesis of our individual liberty and freedom, and it requires men and women of good conscience to step forward, take action and oppose it vigorously,” said Russo.

Please understand that we won't win the "war" of ideas with this initial salvo. This will be the first of many battles to be waged for our country until the congressional elections in 2010 and the presidential election of 2012.

But if we don't start to speak up, speak out, and advocate our ideals - while opposing that which we think is wrong or bad by the Obama administration - then by the time the congressional elections occur next year we will be in no better a position than we are right now.





We have work to do.
