By SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election effort plans to complement his campaigning with a new online push, launching a new Web site to take advantage of increasingly e-savvy political donors and activists.



The new site, scheduled to go up Tuesday morning, invites visitors to punch in their zip codes for information on how to get involved in the campaign locally, such as writing letters to local newspapers, phoning in to radio shows, volunteering at Bush events and helping to get out the Republican vote.

The site will also be an important fund-raising tool. The campaign has raised at least $1.3 million over the Internet since a temporary Web site went up in mid-May.

9. Maybe he needs to start a re-selection site.
At least he'd have a little truth then.

15. Now that I think about it
It would be a waist of time. It was sort of silly on my part to assume that he can read.

10. hah, they have too many sites already
If they drag what is left of their loyal rank and file to the letter writing page that will become easier to monitor than all the right wing sites already doing this. A good clearing house to watch for Parrot Talk- Right Wing Droppings.

12. It's not the medium.
It's not the tool we use. It's Dean and Dean supporters making this thing happen. The other politicians don't seem to realize this.

11. Hilarious! Now even Chimpy is copying Dean!
He's a little late to the party though, no?

16. Not even close......
By the time of next summer's coronation, Rove and the corporate media will have all the sheep convinced that Junior really IS the moderate compassionate "uniter" that he claimed to be in the last campaign. When they pull that off, the most hardcore among the Freepers will be as disgusted by the Idiot Son of an Asshole as we are. And while I doubt they would vote for the Dem nominee, they can always throw it to the libertarians the "Taxpayer's" party or some other right wing fringe candidate :evilgrin:
