Why aren't there post election ads about voter suppression |
|
election fraud, stolen election, loss of democracy, or however it can be put to get the message out there to the country? I've read that polls show that 20% don't believe in the election results ... and that's only because the other 80% either haven't heard of the issues and problems -- the MSM has made sure of that.
People also aren't aware that democracy is dead. Once votes are rigged democracy is a myth.
So if the MSM won't cover it, then the 527s or some non-partisan organization should be getting ads out on radio and TV.
The swifties sure did it ... why can't we?
The people have a right to know what's really going on.

1. I saw an article on yahoo that said that ABC and NBC |
|
were refusing to air political ads at the moment. CBS was the only one that was airing a religious commercial from the Church of Latter Day Saints stating that all people were welcome regardless of sexual orientation. ABC and CBS found that to be too political for them.

6. the Repiglicans control ABC, NBC, CBS |
|
what other stations would run the ads?
we need SOME LIBERAL / PROGRESSIVE R-I-C-H people to start buying tv stations -- and we need it now.
Wonder how much money Michael Moore has? He should buy some tv and radio stations.

8. I know, and was surprised that CBS agreed to run the ad |
|
but it really wasn't that political, it was just inviting gays to church. I guess ABC and NBC don't think gays believe in God, or shouldn't be allowed to worship with the straights, for fear of contamination.

10. So saving and protecting our Democracy |
|
is too political? That's really ironic. I would think it's worth a try since it would be non-partisan.

11. It wasn't the LDS church |
|
Homosexuals are most definitely not welcome in their church. Trust me. They had a big hand in passing Amendment 3 banning same sex marriage in Utah and refusing to recognize any relationship between anyone that wasn't marriage between a man and a woman (yea, so common law marriage is also not recognized here).
I believe the Church that did the ad was the Church of Christ. Very different church.
I wonder if a 527 couldn't get an ad on CNN?

2. Since it is after the election, they'd have to pay top dollar, |
|
not the special "election" rate.

7. Maybe, I really don't know, but ... |
|
... imagine you are a TV ad salesperson, 2 weeks before Christmas. What do you do, get top dollar for the latest Christmas Barbie ad, NFL football, Honey-Baked Ham, or a discount political after-the-election ad (which they would probably play at 3 am)?

|
what about Radio, newspapers et al. Pretty sure there is space on at least one of the internets...

4. That's a great idea, but.... |
|
one, I don't think any of the dem groups want to spend $$$ on ads that will probably be rejected by the monkey controlled media. two, the people have a right to know, but the question is, will they listen? 51% of them didn't prior 11/2

13. They're too busy patting each other on the back for how well it went |
|
and deciding on new ways to divvy up HAVA monies and left over election defense funds.
