Our first two ads were created by DailyKos members cartwrightdale & ourhispanicvoices, and we've received a great deal of support from this community, so I want to share the final version of our 'Community' ad, as well as report on our first buy.
We're going on the air in the Dayton area of Ohio on Monday, airing the first spot 'Judgment - The Public V McCain' 110 times through Sunday. I have a breakdown of time slots & stations & will be glad to share that with anyone in the area (or otherwise) so you can hopefully see the ad you've helped me possible.
Here is the final version of 'Community' which includes a first slide change, the grammatical corrections & a voice over:
This is our first ad, which is airing in Ohio next week:
DIGG it here.
We're looking at Michigan and Virginia for our buy next week, rotating both ads. We will be expanding to other important swing states in the coming weeks, but are focusing on the early voting states for now to maximize our direct impact.
To help spread the word of this effort, we've created a Facebook group.
Sen. Obama has given the greenlight to independent groups such as this, knowing that it will take all of our efforts to win this election, particularly in light of the ugliness of Sen. McCain's recent official ad campaigns. Please share our effort with other Obama supporters you know & if you can, contribute to help us with our push to air these spots in Michigan & Virginia.
If you're familiar with our work in 2004, you know we're willing to "go there" with powerful media, the kind of spots that are often talked about online in the 'I want to see this ad' sense. We're working on three new spots right now which will with different approaches directly confront the McCain/Palin agenda & force them to try and defend their record, their campaign tactics & their extremist views.
Thank you for your help in making this possible.
