Issue ads make comeback

Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 10:43 Mario Tama/Getty Images Americans for Prosperity's national bus tour, "Obama's Failing Agenda," accompanies a new issue ad campaign by the same name. Americans for Prosperity , a conservative nonprofit funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, launched a new issue advocacy campaign criticizing President Barack Obama Monday. The organization reported spending $205,000 on radio ads highlighting what the group calls Obama’s “failing agenda.” The buy will ramp up to $1.3 million, according a press release , with radio ads and calls to voters targeting 13 states. The campaign is coupled with a national bus tour. Issue ads can name a candidate but do not expressly advocate a yes or no vote. They must be reported to the Federal Election Commission as “ electioneering communications ” if, as with the new Americans for Prosperity spots, they come within 60 days of a general election. Issue advertising all but disappeared when a federal district ...

Ad hits Obama on child soliders

Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 09:21 YouTube/Screenshot The conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attacks Obama for allowing countries that use child soldiers to receive American military aid. Conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attempts to link President Barack Obama to child soldiers in a new ad focusing on the United States’ military aid to certain countries in Africa and the Middle East. The ad opens with brief background on child soldiers and notes that Sen. Obama supported a bill that restricted American aid to countries that use child soldiers in militaries and state-backed militias. “This was the right thing to do. It’s what leaders do,” the narrator says. “But then, as president, Obama waived these restrictions, allowing millions of our taxpayer dollars to go to countries where children as young as 11 — 11! — are forced to fight.” “Why, Mr. President? Why?” the ad finishes. In 2011, Obama waived restrictions on military aid to countries that the ...
