Oh, man. This is so creepy. Check out this letter to the editor from my local rag, the Knox-News Sentinel:
When it comes to the economy, President Bush is demonstrating genuine leadership. The economic growth package he recently proposed takes us in the right direction by accelerating the successful tax cuts of 2001, providing marriage penalty relief and providing incentives for individuals and small businesses to save and invest.
Contrary to the class-warfare rhetoric attacking the president's plan, the proposal helps everyone who pays taxes and especially the middle class. This year alone, 92 million taxpayers will receive an immediate tax cut averaging $1,083 - and 46 million married couples will get back an average of $1,714.
That's not pocket change for a family struggling through uncertain economic times. Combined with the president's new initiatives to help the unemployed, this plan gets people back to work and helps every sector of our economy.

Not too strange, eh? Well, not until you read this this one from The Times in Mississippi:

And this one from the Spectrum in Utah.
And this one from the Star Press in Indiana.
And this one from the Boston Globe.
And this one from the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
And thirty or forty others that can be found with a simple Web search. Folks are calling it astroturfing. Get it? It's a fake grass roots movement. Apparently the GOP is now taking its marketing cues from the guys behind The Blair Witch Project. Very creepy.
