Micah L. Sifry 04/30/2008 - 10:11pm

Some quick takes on the three campaigns' ups and downs in YouTube-land: Will Hillary Clinton's difficulties finding the rest-stop coffee machine ON button go viral? Does anyone want to go "Behind the Scenes" with John McCain? Did Obama's denounce-and-reject press conference have the Wright stuff?

See the ad you made possible

Friend --

Thanks to you, we're putting a new ad on the air in Indiana and North Carolina responding to Senator Clinton's attacks ahead of next Tuesday's primary.

It's only possible because of the outpouring of support we received from supporters like you before tonight's financial reporting deadline.

The topic is a pressing issue in the race right now: how to solve the energy crisis and get gas prices under control.

The ad shows Barack at his best, cutting through the Washington gimmicks and talking about real solutions.

I hope you take a look now:

VIDEOCRACY 4.30.08: The Fort Bragg YouTube Video
Dan Manatt 04/30/2008 - 3:49pm

After weeks of gotchas from the e-paparazzi, which seemed to suggest Web Video is the medium only of the gaffe, along comes a Web Video exposé that restores faith in the new citizen medium.

This YouTube video – http://youtube.com/watch?v=B4P-camUjjk – exposed the deplorable conditions of the Fort Bragg barracks where soldiers returning from Afghanistan live. Turns out that even when returning home, our soldiers have been living in Hell holes thanks to intolerable neglect.

And America might have never known of this intolerable treatment of our soliders – but for the efforts of a digital citizen and their a YouTube account.

Deadline: Midnight tonight

Friend --

I really need your support today.

The April financial reporting deadline is at midnight tonight, and the media and superdelegates, whose backing we need, will be watching closely.

Your support will strengthen our efforts before Tuesday's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, but it will also help build our movement in all 50 states as we prepare for the general election.

Straight Talk On Health Care

My Friends,

Today, there are 47 million uninsured individuals in the U.S., and nearly a quarter of them are children. High costs and limited access are the underlying, fundamental problems in our healthcare system.

As you know, both Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are touting outrageously expensive and unrealistic universal health care plans - a government monopoly over health care.
