... and just look at the crap it has spawned:
James --
We've talked a lot about super PACs, other outside groups, and the hundreds of millions of dollars they're going to spend attacking us.
It's started.
Right now, the outside group Americans for Prosperity is pouring millions of dollars into a false ad trying to tear down President Obama's record.
We're not going to react every single time an unaccountable outside group decides to trash the President on TV. But this one gave us the opportunity to show exactly how much the President has done for energy in this country: increasing domestic production -- including renewable energy sources -- across the board, saving consumers money, and decreasing our dependence on foreign oil.
See both ads for yourself. Then, if you can, chip in $5 or more to help us fight back.
Watch both ads here.
It wasn't part of our plan to run a big ad in January of 2012, but this is the new reality we're operating in.
They're relying on a handful of millionaires -- we're relying on you.
Please pitch in to help us fight back today:

FIrst, in 2000, the conservative Supremes gave the presidency to George Bush. Then, in 2010 they acted to help give the White House back to the GOP via their "Citizens United" decision. In essence, the ruling --- which has spawned corporate super-PACs, says that we all have the same First Amendment rights... just so long as we also have millions (or billions) in our bank accounts.
