Here they come........Americans for Job Security
I love the Coors campaign...."gee, we've never heard of this organization." And 9 News is the only station running the ads? Gee, another surprise.
:eyes:

A group known for running attack ads against Democratic U.S. Senate candidates is coming to Colorado - which may herald a nasty race ahead.

Americans for Job Security plans ads on KUSA-Channel 9, a Denver station that reaches most of the state, beginning Saturday.

One of the recent arrivals is Americans for Job Security, located in a tidy brick building on the northern border of Alexandria's new white-collar sprawl. "It's so much cheaper out here than being downtown," says AJS's president, Michael Dubke, as he greets me at the front door and leads me into a nondescript conference room. Like many of its neighbors, AJS is organized as a 501(c)(6), which is to say a not-for-profit "business league" or trade organization. But as trade organizations go, it is rather unusual. Not only is the group's membership--several hundred individuals, corporations, and other trade organizations--secret, but by all appearances, the members don't share a particular line of business. Despite a budget of millions of dollars a year, AJS doesn't have the kind of public relations or policy staff that, say, the Chamber of Commerce does. In fact, Dubke, a cheerful, clean-cut 33-year-old with the rangy build of an ex-jock, is AJS's sole employee. The group has no Web site, puts out no policy briefs or press releases, and does no lobbying on the Hill.
