I have talked to Mary Pat and it isnt a priority because we are doing these
one on one personal meetings and who we are approaching.  And I am fully
behind not being proactive with the press.

To play devils advocate- the only concern I have is the negative press Obama
is giving re: the 527's and his resistance to them.  If this could be a
problem that would be my only ask about should we try and move something
ourselves, otherwise I am for not getting something out there.  Would like
to hear thoughts on that.

I talked to Leslie and they will file sometime today.  We will let you know
as soon as that happens you are prepared.

Thank you all...
