URGENT MESSAGE from WE Can Solve It (Al Gore's group)
"ABC recently refused to run our Repower America ad, even though they run ads from oil companies that mislead the American people about the role fossil fuels play in the climate crisis.

Ask ABC to reconsider their decision and air our Repower America ad this Friday.

When you complete the form below, we’ll send your message to ABC, and let them know how you feel."

2. that is sooo fucked up!
so much for it being 'all about money'. There's more of that'Free Speech'. I wonder if Al could put out a video and get the newspapers to send it out?

4. Reminds me of the networks refusing to air Obama's ad about McCain's health...
Obviously the powers that be are more concerned with short-term profits than with protecting their country and the planet for the sake of their own kids.

I just love telling them that if they don't play fair, I'm removing their channel from my line-up. And I'll do it. :)

18. the problem is- not all of the american people agree with it...
that may be part of the reason that abc doesn't want to air it, imo. :shrug:

20. I am sure that is true. And since corporations are...
...'persons', they would be included with the individuals who are against it(you, know, Exxon, Fox, etc.) And ABC airs their ads.

IMHO, media should air BOTH sides of issues (not just their own)...whether they have a financial stake in the issue, or not.

There is NO issue that ALL, or even most, of the American people will agree on.
