Demand stations run our ad

FactCheck.org just released its analysis of our ad that is sitting gathering dust at Houston TV stations as station managers remain cowed by Tom DeLay's bullying.

Guess what? It's factual:

DeLay's primary complaint is that the ad refers to "one million dollars from Russian tycoons to allegedly influence his vote." In fact, The Washington Post has reported just such an allegation. It quoted the former president of an advocacy group as saying DeLay's former chief of staff told him that Russians contributed $1 million to the group in 1998 specifically to influence DeLay's vote on legislation.

We've faxed the FactCheck.org analysis to the stations, and we're urging that people email or call:

Jim Jossolyn, General Manager
KPRC-NBC
(713) 222-2222

Peter Diaz, General Manager
KHOU-CBS
(713) 526-1111

Henry Florsheim, General Manager
KTRK-ABC
(713) 666-0713

D’Artagnan Bebel, General Manager
KRIV-FOX
(713) 479-2600

You know what to do. Report what you hear on this thread.

Update: The Houston Chronicle's Samantha Levine, again, covers the controversy.

Maine Clean Elections Act

Hello,

My name is Brian Ward and I am a student at Towson University (Just North of Baltimore, MD) and I am currently writing a paper about the Clean Elections in Maine and I saw that you were the campaign director of the referendum in 1996. I just wanted to get some information from you about the struggle in 1996 and now. Here are couple of questions if you don't mind answering:

Why were you in support of this Bill?

Who were your allies (elected officials or organizations)?

Why did this bill come up in the first place, was there a scandal of some sort?

What is the your organizations' perspective on the bill? Do you think it doesn't go far enough?

You can add whatever else you want. Thank you so much, my paper is due on Thursday, October 18th. You can email at brian.ward.j@gmail.com me anytime if you have any questions. Thank you.

Brian
