DEMOCRATS!!!!! PULL YOUR CAMPAIGN ADS FROM ABC!!!!
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 12:14 PM by itsrobert
Please call your local candidates and tell them not to run their campaign ads on ABC or its affliaties. Also, call for Howard Dean to instruct Democratic candidate not to advertise on ABC airwaves.


Thank you.

2. Um that would be stupid
We don't need to preach to the choir. We need to sway the other side.

11. missing the point completely
the idea is not to advertise just for the sake of advertising but to reach the people normally out of your circle of influence.


If they could get an add on in the middle of this farce it would be money well spent IMHO

8. It's a lot of revenue
if ads are pulled, local and national. The dems should not appear on any of their shows either.

19. Our local ABC affiliate
took off the Moveon.org 'Caught Red Handed' ad criticising our sleezy republican congressman, John Sweeney (CDNY20), for the donations he has accepted. Sweeney is suing Moveon for the ad. I don't know how because what they said was factual and true but they refused to air itafter he announced that he was suing. NBC and CBS both kept the ad on and they both covered the protest organized by Moveon in Albany.

13. Unfortunately that is one boycott we can't do.

And that is the problem with oligopolies: You are forced to use their services whether you like their buisness or not.

20. The hell with that!
Call each affiliate and demand that since they gave a 6 hour infomercial free of charge to the Republicans, that the election laws require them to do the same for us!
