MoveOn Spending $1.9M on Anti - Bush Ads
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Talk about a slew of early issue advertising.

An online liberal group is spending a hefty $1.9 million on a two-week television commercial blitz to blast President Bush's Iraq policies in five states that will be battlegrounds in next year's presidential race.

MoveOn.org will begin broadcasting the 30-second ad Thursday in major media markets in Florida, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio and West Virginia. The TV industry estimates that average viewers will see the ad about 10 times over the course of its run.

3. makes me feel good...
I love donating to MoveON, they are the only ones that do anything. I can donate and read about it it the news a day or two later. I just need to get my timing right, seems like I always miss the special gifts, donate the day before I could get something. I really would have loved a few t-shirts but just donated the week before and could not afford to donate again so soon.

5. Thank you MoveOn!
You are fighting the Good Fight! Keep it up please!
That list of states that the ads will run in is interesting. FL, MO, NV, OH, and WV. Those are coincidentally the states that will decide the next Presidential election.
If you're a Democrat, then MoveOn is a friend of yours.

10. Lots of speculation about Soros
I think the best thing to do is thank the man, and grumble about any misgivings privately. Personally, I'm very pleased that he is doing what he can to get rid of bushco.

12. Do you like what MoveOn is doing?
I do. If you want to become more active in a neighborhood ANTI-REPUBLICAN grass roots movement, go to this link for a thread in Activism/Events!
