If you don’t live in Nevada or D.C. then you haven’t seen this new targeted ad slam against Harry Reid by the newly formed American Future Fund.
The ad quotes Reid: “Coal makes us sick; oil makes us sick. Global warming is ruining our country; it’s ruining our world…” and then informs viewers, “Reid says ‘no’ to energy exploration in Alaska and off our coasts and ‘no’ to the safe development of our massive oil shale reserves. Reid says ‘yes’ to higher energy taxes that consumers will end up paying.
Call Harry Reid at 202-224-3542. Tell him to allow the Senate to vote on S. 3202 – and drill for oil right here, right now.”
You can view AFFs’ seven-point energy plan (which also plays the Reid ad when the page first loads) here and if you wish, sign their petition here.
Curious after seeing an AFF ”Drill Here, Drill Now” bumper sticker over the weekend, I contacted them. Their director of communications, Tim Albrecht, told me they were founded earlier this year as a 501(c)(4) corporation. They are located in Des Moines and advocate for conservative, free-market issues. (And since AFF only paid to have the ad run in NV and DC, I’m sure Tim would appreciate it if you’d do them the favor of passing on the link!)
