Comcast Runs ImpeachPAC TV Ad

Submitted by bob fertik on Thu, 2006-08-03 17:56. ImpeachPAC Ads

For Immediate Release: August 3, 2006
Web: http://impeachpac.org/ad-2-release-comcast

After a two-week activism campaign by ImpeachPAC supporters, Comcast today agreed to broadcast ImpeachPAC's new TV ad criticizing Senator Joe Lieberman.

Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator, became the second cable network to broadcast the ad, following the lead of New England Cable News (NECN).

The ad, called "Lie and Die," presents Iraq War lies by George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Joe Lieberman. Each lie is followed by photos of children who were killed in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003. The ad then quotes John Kerry, who recently told Don Imus, "Our plan is not 'cut and run.' Their plan is 'lie and die.'"

Comcast serves over 837,000 homes in the Harford-New Haven market. NECN serves over 573,000 homes in Connecticut.

"We are grateful to Comcast for ultimately recognizing our First Amendment rights," said Bob Fertik, president of ImpeachPAC. "We are proud of our activist supporters for insisting that Comcast do so," he added.

ImpeachPAC's ad can also be viewed on YouTube:

ImpeachPAC (ImpeachPAC.org) was founded last November after polls showed a majority of Americans believe George Bush should be impeached for lying about Iraq. ImpeachPAC has raised over $75,000 from nearly 2,000 donors and has endorsed six candidates who actively support the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney.

ImpeachPAC is moving in a new direction by running "independent expenditure" campaigns in high-profile races to highlight Bush's impeachable offenses. "Of course the illegal and catastrophic Iraq War is the top issue for voters, and the top reason for impeaching Bush," Fertik said. "Our new ad goes straight to the heart of the lies by George Bush, Dick Cheney, and their allies - including Joe Lieberman - that got America into this disaster."

"We hope these ads will persuade voters across the country to defeat those politicians - like Joe Lieberman - who continue to support George Bush's 'lie and die' policy," Fertik said.
