National TV/Radio Campaign: America Says Thank You
Move America Forward
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 21, 2006
CONTACT: Robert Dixon - (916) 441- 6197 or Robert@MoveAmericaForward.org
(SAN FRANCISCO) A major multi-media advertising blitz thanking American troops for a job well done in the war against terrorism will begin on Thursday, June 22, 2006.
The America Says Thank You ad campaign is a project of the pro-troop organization, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org). The first television ads will air on the Fox News Channel television network. The debut 60-second TV spot features a listing of major terrorist figures killed, captured or arrested as a result of the U.S.-led war against terrorism.
The ad campaign will then expand to CNN/Headline News and then on to local affiliates of the major television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, WB, UPN).
Total expenditures for the ad campaign are expected to run well into six figures, and this funding is being provided by individuals, organizations and institutions who wish to see more balanced and positive media coverage on the war against terrorism. To date more than 1,000 individuals have contributed to this specific advertising effort.
Pro-Troop Message Must Be Purchased Media Bias Alleged
Were broadcasting these ads because somebody has to tell the other side of the story thats not being reported by the news media. Our troops are making great progress in the war on terrorism, and there is a steady stream of positive developments taking place in Iraq, said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.
Many journalists have gotten so bad in obsessing on any and all negative developments in Iraq at the exclusion of coverage of any positive accomplishments being made that supporters of U.S. troops are forced to buy the airtime to tell the public about the progress being made by our troops.
We understand the mission in Iraq is a challenging one and we recognize that there are obstacles that must be overcome. However, cant the news media tell the American people about all the good things being done there in addition to the bad stories? The good news coming out of Iraq is almost never reported, said Melanie Morgan.
So, until it does, Move America Forward will rally the American public to stand together and get that message out. We owe it to our troops and the military families to make sure that the efforts being made by the men and women of the United States military receive fair and proper coverage, Morgan concluded.
The first television and radio advertisements can be seen online at Move America Forwards website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org.

Absolutely what is needed - Hopefully they get all the funding they need -
Thank you Doc for the bump!
Here here! Hence why it is being done.
Done, great ads.
BTTT
I hope that tape is played in Murtha's district.
I suspect Murtha will spend the first half of the ad getting teary eyed that the "home team" (or so it seems for him recently, given his penchant for rooting for us to fail) was losing.
Thanks, this would be wonderful. I am so upset by what has been going on (our guys being tortured to death, the media being silent and the Dems firing up the Hate America Bandwagon) that I hardly know what to do.
Excellent! But what about those who support the war, but not the troops? No, wait, that's not right, support the troops, but not the Iraqis, no wait, uhhh, support before voting against...my head hurts, I have to "lie" down for a while (/sarc).
I support the country, the president, the troops and their families, the spreading of freedom and the War on Islamofascism.
Gee, that was so easy...for me.
LOL!!! Great post. You made me laugh and brought a smile to my face as I finish up here in the office. Thanks much!
