I declare Operation Needs More PC a success.
Or at least fun.
Now it’s time for:
OPERATION RUMOR HAS IT
The Premise: Inspired by Obama’s Fight the Smears site, you’ve noticed that the Vast Right Wing Smear Machine aka the Right Wing Media aka every news outlet except NPR (and you’re starting to wonder about THEM, too) is spreading some unconscionable lie about Environmentalism in general or its proponents in particular, and it’s time for WE to fight back!
Suggested format:
1) Brief mention of your love of WE.
2) Mention some crazy rumor that you’ve heard (feel free to cite sources or include a link if you’re not just completely making it up) and insist that WE start diverting all available resources to fighting this grave assault on the TRUTH! As always, try to keep it under 200 words to encourage folks to pass it around.
3) Sign off with some cliche lefty slogan and your hippie alias.
Feel free to leave in a few typos and misspellings, just for flavor.
Sample letter:
Dear WE,
I’m so grateful that WE is (are?) finally out there spreading the TRUTH about global warmming! But it saddens me that you won’t respond directly to the rightwing fasists and deniers out there spreading their LIES!
ABC news claims that Al Gore’s utility bill is 30000 dollars a year which is just a LIE! I know for a FACT that Al Gore does eveything he can to keep his carbon footprint smaller than a bronze baby bootie! Is it his fault that the theives in Big Oil are overchaging him for his electricty? I KNOW he doesn’t use any more than anyone else, and a LOT less than those who are getting RICH off $4 a gallon gas.
I think you should have a page to FIGHT THE SMEARS! Just like Obama.
SCREAM truth to power!

As before, you don’t HAVE to be a member of WE to participate in Operation Rumor Has it, but if you ARE signed up, it puts pressure on them to take you seriously, and there’s nothing more pathetically funny than a conflicted liberal.
After you leave your suggestion with WE, send a copy of it to me at wesistance@gmail.com. If I find your entry to be brief, subtle, and at least moderately amusing, I’ll post it at IMAO so that others may enjoy it also.

Way to watch the watchmen.
Dear WE,
I cant blieve that the rePUGnicans are so awfull about they’re hatred of sweet mother Gaia. I have held many blessed moon rituals to balance the negative forces, but I’m bcoming a little discouraged. Especailly since my little brother won’t keep pedaling the energy bike so I can gett on the internet and see the face of THE ONE so he can vicariously heel me. Perhaps you can send someone over to take my brother’s place?
Keep up the fight,
