It’s a start...but we need more!
Excellent ad. Is this stuff getting out where people can see it?
I’ve only seen it on fox news, they’ll never air it on another channel. TBN, yes, the bible network, even runs Obama specials. I woke up at 2 am with my baby last night and turned the tv on for light and there it was, no tv is safe anymore. GOD help the stupid sheople who only get their news from tv.
That’s a lot of “ad” in only 30 seconds. Good ad!
“they’ll never air it on another channel”
Why not? They’re not controversial by any standard.
New RightChange.com Ads Seek to Separate Rhetoric and Reality on Wall Street Bailout
Raleigh, N.C. - As the House of Representatives prepares to take up a massive Wall Street bail out package, RightChange.com, today launched three new online ads focusing on the ever-growing chasm between the rhetoric coming out of Washington — and the records of those spouting it. The RightChange.com ads are aimed at cutting through the sound bites to find the most elusive commodity of the current debate: the truth. RightChange.com is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to helping Americans break through politicians’ spin surrounding complex policy issues.
“Congress sat idly by, and allowed this crisis to happen while telling us that there was no problem. Now, they’re scrambling to ram a fix through and calling themselves ‘reformers.’” said Tim Pittman, executive director of RightChange.com. “This disaster is just another version of the same old Washington story. ‘I was for the bailout — before I was against it.’”
The ads, called “Fought Reform,” and “Fighting” show that Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership were AWOL on reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They detail the vast amounts of money that Senator Obama received over the years from Fannie and Freddie, and the salary figures of former Fannie CEOs Franklin Raines and James Johnson — both of whom have played roles in the Obama campaign.
“Whatever bailout provisions are implemented, one thing is certain: Any plan that doesn’t include meaningful, tough — and maybe even punitive — reforms of Fannie and Freddie is nothing more than a stopgap measure to the NEXT crisis,” Pittman continued. “Anything short of a massive and fundamental change in the way these entities operate is little more than a legislative Band-Aid applied to a financial hemorrhage.”
RightChange.com also launched an ad called “Angry?” earlier in the week. The spot invites citizens to read the fine print of the Obama economic proposal, and points out that under Obama’s plan, Wall Street firms that precipitated the financial crisis would be taxed at the prevailing corporate rate of 35 percent, while many small businesses would see their rates jump to a tax rate of more than 62 percent.
RightChange.com encourages individuals to take action, make their voices heard and contact their Members of Congress through the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. For more information or to view the ads, please visit: www.RightChange.com.
Don’t know but it’s got a 5 star rating.
I forgot to see how many hits.
