A cable TV ad in progress, aimed at for a broader audience, who may not be familiar with FISA, getting people to understand what the isue is and why it matters. Discussion thread here. More background here.

For our earlier ads, please see President Obama, please get FISA right and Fight FISA on TV, Round 2




Visuals: A teenager talking on the phone with a foreign national overseas (another teen -- a student, a relative)

Overseas person: "Too bad I can't fly in for the inauguration. Are you going to shoot some video for me?"

Teen: "Oh yeah. I'll shoot so much that MySpace will explode when I upload it. It'll be da bomb."

both laugh.

Excellent work on the "Innocent Words" script. That's how I've felt all along -- and is ultimately why I couldn't bring myself to vote for Obama in November. (Wrote someone in instead.) Thank you!
