The traditional press is up in arms over John McCain’s latest dishonest
ad attacking Barack Obama. MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell called the ad
completely wrong, factually wrong!The New York Times said it was “a
false account of what occurred.
The Washington Post said the ad offered
“no evidence” to support McCain’s claims. And Media Matters tracks the
timeline of the smear in detail.

McCain must disavow this ad and make sure it never airs again. We won’t
let this race degenerate into ad distortions like the last election; we
won’t be silent in the face of lies. That’s why we created this video
entitled When McCain Attacks.

Help end McCain’s campaign of dishonesty. Sign our petition to compel
McCain to disavow this ad and yank it from the air. Then send it to all
your friends, family members, and colleagues
. Tell them to spread it to
everyone they know, and Digg it!

Hurry, because we’re already seeing McCain’s lies insidiously spread by other news outlets. Join us in declaring that we’ve had enough lies and dishonesty, we’re ready for a new kind of politics.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,
