I received this email today from the Washington State Democrats....
Our country is lead by a racist who is turning America into a fascist state.
That's what FOXNews's Glenn Beck is saying about President Obama, and that is the kind of fear mongering that will be honored later this month. Bud Norris, the mayor of Mount Vernon, Washington, plans to give the key to the city to Glenn Beck on September 26th.
If all politics is local, then we're in trouble. We need to all do our part to fight Glenn Beck's brand of politics. Our partner Fuse Washington has created a petition asking the Mount Vernon City Council to overrule this decision.
Please click right now to sign or read the email below for more information. Don't forget to pass this on to your friends and family too.

FORWARDED MESSAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Help us stop Glenn Beck from getting the key to the city of Mount Vernon:
Dear Mount Vernon City Council;
We do not believe the city of Mount Vernon should honor Glenn Beck's fear mongering, race-baiting, inflammatory and dishonest approach to politics. Our country is better than this.
Please take action to overrule Mayor Norris's decision to give Glenn Beck the key to the city. It disgraces Mount Vernon, Washington State, and our country to honor a national posterchild for intolerance, racism, and radical right-wing fringe politics.
Clicking below will add your name to this petition:
STOP GLENN BECK
Dear Friend,
What the radical right is doing right now in America is just plain wrong. They've launched a scorched-earth crusade against the President and his agenda. Their aim is not just to express their disagreement, but to defeat him by dragging the democratic process and our country through the mud. Fox TV's Glenn Beck is one of the loudest and most offensive of their crusaders.
A member of Congress screaming "You lie!" at the President on national TV? Accusing the President of attempting to indoctrinate kids into socialism by giving a speech to students urging them to stay in school? A systematic and intentional campaign organized by Glenn Beck and his cronies to disrupt town hall meetings?
Our country is better than this. We know it. The question is, what can we do about it?
Here's a small but important way to take a stand. Later this month the Mayor of Mount Vernon, Washington, Bud Norris, plans to give the key to the city to Glenn Beck - Fox TV's craziest, most inflammatory host and most egregious fear peddler.
Will you sign our petition urging the Mount Vernon City Council to overrule the Mayor's decision? It's time to stand up and renounce the politics of hatred, lies, and paranoia. It is not a time to honor them. Glenn Beck is bad for our state, He is bad for our country. And we don't believe any public entity should be honoring him. Click on the link to add your name to the petition and view footage of Glenn Beck at his worst.

The radical right's mud slinging is pulling our country in the wrong direction - here is your chance to take a stand against it.
Sign the petition and send a signal that Glenn Beck's brand of fear mongering and race baiting is not welcome in Washington State.

Please forward our petition to your friends and family as well. We need to stand up and demand better politics in this country.
Thanks for all you do,
- Erik and the entire team at Fuse.
