New Ads Target Electoral College Power Grab with Taxes and War

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

Californians for Fair Election Reform unveiled two new radio ads today highlighting the potential consequences of the GOP effort to change the Electoral College to benefit the Republican candidate for president in 2008.

The ads highlight two key messages. The first ad, entitled "TAXPAYER ALERT" focuses on how the GOP initiative will actually lead to a dilution of the state’s political power in the United States. 

And second, entitled "CENTRAL ISSUE" highlights how the GOP initiative would affect the effort to end the War in Iraq.

The simple fact is that the GOP’s efforts to rig the Presidential election, if successful, would lead to a continued Republican failure to end the War in Iraq. What’s more, this initiative would lead to a dramatic dilution of California’s political power nationally.

The ads are scheduled to run through the next week in key markets across the state.
