latest MoveOn ad here:

Today we're launching our third "10 Weeks" ad, "Who Profits," featuring animation by Wild Brain studios and the voices of Kevin Bacon, Scarlett Johansson, and Ed Asner. Check it out now.


View "Who Profits"

Dear MoveOn member,
There are now eight weeks to go until the most pivotal election of our lifetimes. Continuing our 10-week countdown featuring ads from famous directors, actors, and artists, today we're launching an amazing new web ad from Wild Brain animation studios titled "Who Profits."

You can check out "Who Profits" and some of the other ads in our 10 Weeks countdown at:
http://www.moveonpac.org/10weeks/

This week's ad, created by some of the world's best animators, uses cartoon techniques to make a very sobering point: while our troops are in harm's way in Iraq, companies like Halliburton are making millions. The ad features the voices of Kevin Bacon, Ed Asner, and Scarlett Johansson.

This ad makes one of the strongest arguments against the Iraq war: with so many Americans hurting here at home, President Bush has spent billions in no-bid contracts with firms run by close friends of the Administration. That means less money for education, health care, job training, and all the other services we so desperately need here at home.

We've put together a flyer that powerfully makes this point, which you can print out and distribute to your friends and neighbors. You can download it now, at:
http://cdn.moveonpac.org/content/pdfs/iraq_flyer.pdf

(You'll need Adobe Acrobat software to read the file.)

With eight weeks left before the election, we're working through every channel -- on TV, in print, on the web, and on the ground -- to make sure folks remember Bush's signature failure in Iraq and what it has cost us here at home.

Thanks for all that you do,


--Adam, Eli, Hannah, James, Laura, and the whole MoveOn PAC Team

1. Yea, it's great! Most people do pay more attention to cartoons!
They did a great job. Is this ad only on line or is it also being aired in the swing states? Somewhere, I thought I heard they were to show some or all 10 weeks worth of ads in some of the critical states.

2. I like the "You've Got 8 Weeks," ad too. We've got to keep America safe.
We've got to get the scoundrel out of office. Bush has got to go!
