We need your online help immediately after the debate, so save this email, print it out, and have it ready with you as you watch the first Presidential debate tonight.</P> <P>We all know what happened in 2000. Al Gore won the first debate on the issues, but Republicans stole the post-debate spin. We are not going to let that happen again, and you will play a big role.</P> <P>Immediately after the debate, we need you to do three things: vote in online polls, write a letter to the editor, and call in to talk radio programs. Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the difference.</P> <H3>Vote</H3> <P>National and local news organizations will be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online polls at these national news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:</P> <UL> <LI>ABC News: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004S">http://www.abcnews.com/</B></A></LI> <LI>CBS News: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004T">http://www.cbsnews.com/</B></A></LI> <LI>CNN: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004U">http://www.cnn.com/</B></A></LI> <LI>Fox News: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004V">http://www.foxnews.com/</B></A></LI> <LI>MSNBC: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004W">http://www.msnbc.com/</B></A></LI> <LI>USA Today: <B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004X">http://www.usatoday.com/</B></A></LI></UL> <P>And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV stations for online polls. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes immediately following the debate.</P> <H3>Write</H3> <P>Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If you feel John Kerry commanded the debate and had a clear plan for fixing the mess in Iraq, put it in your letter. If you feel George Bush dodged tough questions on Iraq and didn't level with voters, put it in your letter.</P> <P>With just a few clicks, you can write your letter at our online media center:</P> <P><B><A href="http://redir.democrats.org/rdr/002UL03im20004Y">http://www.democrats.org/media/</B></A></P> <H3>Call</H3> <P>Do you listen to national or local call-in shows on the radio?
