MoveOn Voter Fund Increases Ad Buy; Rejects Attempts of RNC to Silence
2 Million Members
WASHINGTON - March 5 - Wes Boyd, President of MoveOn.org Voter Fund,
announced this afternoon that his organization will spend another $1 million
to amplify its TV ad campaign focused on the economic failures of the Bush
Administration.
On Thursday, March 4th, MoveOn.org Voter Fund launched a $1.9 million
TV ad campaign in seventeen states and 67 media markets which was scheduled
to run through Monday, March 8th. Most of the TV buy paid for an ad that
highlighted President Bush's plan to eliminate overtime pay for eight
million workers, the continued loss of manufacturing jobs to "outsourcing,"
and the general economic insecurity felt by working families.
"In light of the disappointing jobs numbers today, which demonstrate
again that the President has no plan for getting many Americans back to
work, we've decided that it's important for our message to stay on the air,"
said Boyd.
Earlier today, RNC Chairman, Ed Gillespie released a letter he claims
to have sent to TV stations asking them to pull the MoveOn.org Voter Fund ad
on grounds that it violates federal campaign finance law.
"It's not surprising that Mr. Gillespie continues to make false claims
about the legality of our campaign in order to try to silence us. That's his
job as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Our lawyers continue
to assure us that our advertising, and the small contributions from tens of
thousands of our members that pay for it, conform in every way to existing
campaign finance laws," Boyd said.
