Many groups on both the Left and the Right have big money behind them and manage to keep their message and spin on the television screen morning, noon and night. Thus far we Libertarians have had neither the numbers nor the wealthy backers to do more than an occasional Presidential Campaign ad. But that is about to change and I’ll let Jim Babka’s report speak for itself.
I may disagree with he and Harry Browne on some issues, but I still think they are two of the most effective outreach people we have ever had. Without further ado, here’s Jim:
We did it! Thanks to you, we reached our goal — we raised $20,898!
And this morning, I signed a check to CNN for $21,005 for three television spots which will air on Saturday, February 2, 2002.
We’ve chosen Saturday on a major national cable network, which means most of you will be able to view these ads. CNN viewers will be treated to a little lampooning of politically correct gun control advocates in our Yard Sign Ad
This is a historic ad buy, representing the first time, to my knowledge, that a libertarian commercial will be on national television without the benefit of a presidential campaign.
More specific details will be provided next week, along with confirmed broadcast times so that you can tune in to see your contribution dollars at work.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and please stay tuned.
Jim Babka, President
American Liberty Foundation
“21st Century Outreach for Freedom…”
I can’t wait to see the impact of this. Kick the anti-2nd Amendment crowd in the goolies while they’re down. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
