Gabrielle Giffords Releases Her First Ad Against Gun Violence

A message from former Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords;

One year ago, I was proud to walk onto the House floor for the State of the Union Address.

The next day, after casting my last vote, I resigned my seat in Congress.

Mark and I will be there again tomorrow night, because this is a critical moment in time for legislation to reduce gun violence in the United States.

That’s also why we’re releasing our first television ad on the issue. As one of the first donors to Americans for Responsible Solutions, I wanted you to see it first.

Nine out of ten Americans support universal background checks for gun purchases.

Congress must act. Let’s get this done.

Gabby Giffords

This is a critical moment in time for legislation to reduce gun violence in the United States, and that’s why Americans for Responsible Solutions is releasing our first ad on the issue.

Fox News Calls Out Wayne LaPierre – “That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.”

Fox News was suppose to be a safe zone for Wayne Lapierre. The network has taken the very same positions as LaPierre and the NRA. But LaPierre’s visit to Fox today was not a sunday walk in the park, as the NRA’s mouthpiece was called out on numerous occasions as an “out of touch elite” making “ridiculous” statements.

Here’s a clip of LaPierre’s most recent visit. Host Chris Wallace asked LaPierre if he stands by the claims made in a recent ad by the NRA targeting the President’s children. In the ad, the narrator asked, “are the president’s kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school.”

Asked if he agrees with that ad, LaPierre tried to wiggle himself out of the hot seat, saying that the ad was  not about the President’s daughters. Wallace stated that the ad specifically spoke about the president’s daughters. He then asked LaPierre;

“Do you really think that the president’s children are the same kind of target as every school child in America? That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.”

Later on in the discussion, Chris Wallace pointed out the hypocrisy of Wayne LaPierre for criticizing “the elite” for having personal security although he has them too. This fact left LaPierre physically twitching in his seat as he looked for an answer to Wallace’s accusation.

Chris Christie Slams NRA’s Ad Attacking Obama’s Daughters – “It’s Reprehensible”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie blasted the National Rifle Association for an ad that pointed out President Barack Obama’s daughters have armed protection, calling it “reprehensible” and saying elected officials’ kids should be off-limits.

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” he said during a news conference at which he announced a task force on guns and mental health.

Christie, a potential 2016 presidential contender, is the most prominent Republican to voice displeasure with the ad.

The spot calls Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for being skeptical of having armed guards at schools even though his daughters get Secret Service protection.

The NRA Targets Obama’s Daughters In New Web Ad

We are talking about the NRA here. These are the same folks who, one week after 20 children were gunned down in Newtown Connecticut, came out and said, the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

Nothing is off-limits for the group of crazies who runs this organization, so when they released this new ad today, I was taken aback. But I soon realized who was responsible for putting out something so low.

The NRA!

Connecticut Paper Puts Gun Ad On Same Page Welcoming Sandy Hook School Children

Today was the first day of school for the surviving children of Sandy Hook Elementary. But instead of being considerate to these kids, their families and the staff of Sandy Hook, this Connecticut news paper decided to put an ad for a gun show and a story about these children on the same page.

I can assure you that this gun show will be a resounding success because of its placement in today’s paper. Guess it’s just business as usual.

Lying Joe Isuzu Merges Into Lying Mitt Romney, Or Is Lying Mitt Romney Merging Into Lying Joe Isuzu?

Joe Isuzu. Remember him? He was the “car salesman” for Isuzu cars in the 1980’s. Joe was known for making promises about Isuzu cars that were… for lack of a better word… lies. In one of his commercials he promised viewers that if they bought one Isuzu, they would get another car for free. He also said things like, “this car is so cheap, you can buy one with pocket change.” He said that while holding up a quarter he pulled from his pocket.

Well birds of a feather flock together, and Joe has seen something in Mitt Romney that made him revert to his old lying ways. Joe has substituted the Isuzu car with Mitt Romney, and he is saying some things that he know are lies.

In the ad below, lying Joe Isuzu merges into lying Mitt Romney… or is it lying Mitt Romney merging into lying Joe Isuzu?

You decide.

Jay Z For Obama – “The Power Of Your Vote” – Video

It’s getting down to the wire with 11 days to go before the November 6th elections, and President Obama is turning to hip hop mogul Jay Z, to help get out the youth vote.

“For so long, there was this voice that was silenced out there as far as exercising your right to vote. I think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. They didn’t believe that their voice mattered or counted. We thought it was just politics, you know, people going back and forth. And at the end of the day it never trickled down to where we lived.

“Now people are exercising their right, and you are starting to see the power of our vote. He made it mean something for the first time for a lot of people.”

Vote! Our future literally depends on it!

The Bill Clinton Ad – It’s The Same Failed Republican Playbook

BILL CLINTON: “The stuff some folks are saying about President Obama sound kind of familiar. The same people said my ideas destroyed jobs—they called me every name in the book. Well we created 22 million new jobs and turned deficits into surpluses. President Obama’s got it right. We should invest in the middle class, education and innovation. And pay down our debt with spending restraint and asking the wealthy to pay a little more. Sound familiar?”

Actress Elizabeth Banks – “Planned Parenthood Was My Healthcare Provider”

In a new ad supporting President Obama, Elizabeth Banks explained that earlier in her career, Planned Parenthood was her primary healthcare provider, not for all the wrong reasons Republicans think the organization is all about, but for other things. She explains;

“Planned Parenthood was my healthcare provider when I didn’t have insurance after graduating from college. Yes I got birth control, but it was for my massive migraine headaches and my heavy flow. Yes, I’m going on the record saying I have a heavy flow. And unfortunately these are the types of things that I don’t want to discuss with employers…So I’m really grateful that [Planned Parenthood exists].”

Mitt Romney’s response? “Planned Parenthood? Yea, we’re gonna end that.”

President’s New Ad – If Romney Pays Less, You’ll Pay More

The President’s re-election campaign has come out with another ad explaining to middle class Americans what it will mean if Mitt Romney and his billionaire friends get another tax cut – “… you pay more!”
