Move America Forward, the organization leading the effort to evict the United Nations from the United States and halt U.S. funding of the U.N. today launches a national television ad campaign to "Get the U.N. Out of the U.S."
Beginning today, a new 30-second TV spot called "Stingy" begins airing on CNN Headline News and the Fox News Channel.
The ad highlights two controversial actions by the United Nations during the ongoing tsunami relief effort:
The comments made by the U.N.'s "humanitarian czar," Jan Egeland, that western nations were being "stingy" in providing relief. (Egeland made the comments just two days after the tsunamis struck and is now trying to say he didn't mean it to reflect the humanitarian effort now ongoing in Asia.) The reports that U.N. General Secretary Kofi Annan was too busy frolicking at a ski resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to take hands-on leadership in the tsunami relief effort. Annan refused to leave his ski vacation for three days after the disaster struck.
"Is there any better evidence of how irrelevant the United Nations has become than the fact that the U.N. general secretary doesn't feel he needs to interrupt his ski vacation during the worst natural disaster in recent times?" asked Melanie Morgan, co-chairman of Move America Forward.
Move America Forward has been collecting contributions from its more than 150,000 members to purchase airtime to run these ads. The television and radio commercials underscore a petition drive to "Get the U.N. Out of the U.S.," which is nearing 100,000 signatures collected.
"With the support of the American public, we can remain on the airwaves with a series of ads that will reveal the recent history of scandal, corruption and cover-up that has been taking place at the U.N.," said Morgan.
Move America Forward's leadership felt it was important in this first ad to take on the "stingy" smear uttered by Jan Egeland.
"Americans are a very generous people," said Howard Kaloogian, Move America Forward's other co-chairman. "Already private giving by individuals and corporations for tsunami victims has surpassed the huge amount pledged by our government. This is the beauty of how our free society works, and it is something that the socialists who run the U.N. will never understand."
Those who support the campaign are being asked to view the new ad online, sign the petition and make a contribution to support purchase of more airtime on television for this commercial and future spots.
See the ad now.
THankyou, minus.
i agree with the ad, but i think it could have been done better. Most effective would have been the actual video clip of the stingy comment then a mention of how much the US is giving in aid. The switch to kofi on the skis.. That and we could use a better logo.. (thats just my opinion)
Can the UN bump.
"Stingy." LOL What a hoot. We are a good hearted, generous people. Always have been, always will be, but when attacked we will retaliate with a fierce campaign. Just since 9-11 several have felt that retaliation. Like France, the Dixie Chicks, the Taliban, Osama Bin Hiding, Saddam Insane, to name a few. Americans are FED UP.
There's just nothing better than being able to take their words, turn them around and shove them back down their throats. They have bit the hand that feeds them one time too many!!
I love it! Two can play atg this game. They never thought we'd fight back!!
bttt
I don't know anything about this organization, but with the success (financial and in shaping the debate) of the Swift Vets showing that the Red Counties (not Red States) are willing to put their money where their mouth is, I'd say we will be hearing a lot more from these folks.
self PING
That indictment in the Oil-for-Food scandal is a good start. Lets see if we can keep it up.
(Absolutely) Outstanding. Thanks.
Sounds awesome to me!!The U.N. is worst than the League of Nations! When I was in college we studied why the League of Nations was disbanded. The LON was discredited due to the fact that they were incompetent and did not resolve the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and China! The LON was honest but incompetent! These guys are so corrupt and they are so arrogant because they think they can get away with anything!And I havent even brought up all the blind eyes they have turned on massacres in Europe and Africa and terrorism against Israel!Its time to get out and even disband these guys!The LON havent done 1/10th of the crimes that these people have!Its time for us to get out or at least to pull all funding. Unfortunately Wimpy Bush, Thats what W stands for!Sorry but hes let us down too many times!
I am surprised that the national media would show a conservative ad like this.
This is the time to press the point and get it to run as much as possible.
Americans know there is something wrong with the UN, but need to be motivated to act. This ad is a great start.
I hope there is enough money out there to keep it on the air longer than just today.
SH*TCAN THE UNITED NATIONS
