Corruption Exposé on Rep. Jim McCrery Gets Results

February 2005

In the last two weeks of February 2005, we launched a multimedia advertising blitz to expose the Wall Street conflict of interest of Rep. Jim McCrery — the man charged to push Social Security privatization through the House of Representatives.

We ran three full page ads in McCrery's hometown newpapers, and followed by airing a pointed TV ad - over 100 times in McCrery's home district. Both ads broadcast McCrery's Wall Street conflict to hundreds of thousands of his own constituents, and reached millions more through national media coverage in The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, TalkingPointsMemo.com and others.

See the ads below, and take stock in the fact that our shared and hard-hitting fight against Social Security privatization is winning!
