A New Movement Begins
Workers, community groups and people of faith in 40 cities are joining together this week to launch a new national movement to restore the American Dream—a paycheck that supports a family, affordable health care, a secure retirement, a voice on the job, and a chance to give their children a better life.

3. What the hell is controvercial about that ad?
It seems pretty straight forward and mainstream to me. The only people who could find it controvercial are the rich bastards at the very top who sponge off the work of others.

4. Do you know the official reason
Com. Central won't air it? It certainly is a very effective little ad, that I'm sure would completely freak out freeps, pro-business rethugs and the business "community."

6. Thanks for posting this
the link worked for me. Good ad. A little short, but it probably would have cost too much to add any more time to it. I hope it plays somewhere people can see it.

8. I saw that last night. I thought it was on Comedy Central.
I can't think where else I might have seen it. Nickolodeon? Highly unlikely.
