My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Campaign Ads I Would Like To See

Onscreen picture of Ed Perlmutter [voiceover] It is said "a man is known by the company he keeps." Onscreen picture slides over into splitscreen with question mark. Let's look at the company Ed Perlmutter keeps.

Two years ago the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachussetts overruled the State Legislature and mandated that the state create a system for granting gay marriages in that state. [splitscreen picture of man/man or woman/woman wedding] The driving force behind that ruling? The American Civil Liberties Union.

Three years ago the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it was illegal for the words "Under God" to be included in the Pledge of Allegiance. [splitscreen picture of students with hands over hearts] The driving force behind that ruling? The American Civil Liberties Union.

Two months ago a judge in Illinois ruled that the National Security Agency must stop trying to track the activities of al Qaeda terrorists by listening to their international phone calls to contacts in the United States. [splitscreen picture of bin Laden/terrorist training camps] The driving force behind that ruling? The American Civil Liberties Union.

The ACLU has also sued to have terrorist prisoners released from Guantanamo Bay and to have landmark shrines taken down all over the United States. [splitscreen picture of Mount Soledad Cross]

The American Civil Liberties Union has endorsed Ed Perlmutter for Congress, and through its local affiliate donated sizable money to the Perlmutter campaign. [splitscreen shows simply "ACLU"]

If this is the company Ed Perlmutter keeps, do Coloradans REALLY want him to represent us in Congress?
