Turns out this guy's no vampire, because he's too proud of his handiwork to live in the shadows. He's available for interviews; why not give him a call? Heck, join him for the press conference!

WASHINGTON, DC (April 22, 2008)– Floyd Brown, producer of the now famous “Willie Horton” commercial that helped defeat Michael Dukakis, has just launched a new independent expenditure ad campaign that exposes a similar chink in Senator Obama’s armor.

The National Campaign Fund, headed by Brown, a long time conservative strategist, announced today the release of a powerful 60-second television ad exposing Barack Obama’s weakness on gang violence.

“The ad draws a parallel between Obama’s weakness on gang violence and the war on terror,” said Brown. “The bottom line is that if he can’t deal with street crime he won’t be able to handle international Islamo-Fascism.”

According to Brown, the ad will be running in targeted states. “It tells the story of Tamika McFadden-Harris, Mike Boyd and Sev ero Enriquez, innocent people murdered by gang members in Chicago in 2001, and documents that in the same year then State Senator Obama voted against expanding the death penalty for gang-related murders.”

In addition to the TV ad buys, Tuesday’s launch is the largest ever single advocacy ad release on the Internet with over 7 million emails being fired off to conservative activists nationally.

A News Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23 at National Press Club in Washington, DC from noon until 12:30 pm Eastern Time featuring Obama ad producer Floyd Brown discussing the impact of the first 24 hours of the ad airing, and to show the news media a copy of a second ad to be released after the news conference from Citizens for a Safe and Prosperous America.

The ad is immediately viewable at www.exposeobama.com
