Full disclosure: I am a paid consultant to the
Coalition for Progress. But even if I wasn't,
I would totally still be writing a post right now about the CFP's new TV ad targeting the
Republicans who control both Houses of Michigan's legislature.
Now....without further ado...throw the dogs out of the room, take the phone off the hook, go to the CFP website and WATCH THE AD (
click here):
(More below the fold...)
Who would have thought you could still make a compelling ad about with chestnut issues like
outsourcing and Canadian Trash? But with a guy singing opera and some spooky-looking elephants sucking up cocktails, really...how can you go wrong? "Repuuuuublicans in the Leeeeeeegislature." Heh. prepare to have that stuck in your head for awhile.
So who is the Coalition for Progress? Well, to quote the CFP website:
"The Michigan Coalition for Progress is an independent voice for the people of Michigan
dedicated to holding our leaders accountable. We are bringing people together to elect leaders who are committed to moving Michigan forward - like Democrats in the State Legislature and Governor Jennifer Granholm.
For way too long, Republicans in the legislature have stood in the way of the change we need
to move Michigan forward. It's time to put Michigan first."
Got that? Good. No more questions, please. In the meantime, go get yourself a "Repuuuublicans
in the leeeegislature" ringtone for your cell-phone, familiarize yourself with the CFP
website (
miprogresscoalition.org) and get in the habit of checking it. Great joy and happiness are just around the corner. Stay tuned.
