Crossroads GPS Launches New
National TV Ad Focused on Obama’s Failed Energy Policy
New $650,000 buy hits
nationwide cable TV and targeted local stations to balance out
president’s energy policy tour this week.
WASHINGTON – Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads
GPS) today announced the launch of a new national TV spot focusing on
President Obama’s dramatic failure to keep energy prices down, while he
has instead focused on untested and naive strategies that have
virtually no impact on energy consumption or demand.
The issue ad, entitled “Deflect”, will start on Wednesday in a
$650,000 buy on national cable and local broadcast network buys in
three markets where the president will pitch his energy plan this week:
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Columbus, Ohio; and Las Vegas, Nevada.
The ad can be viewed here.
It is also available for high resolution download upon request.
The ad
urges viewers to contact the White House and Congress to advocate for
the passage of a market-driven energy policy free from Obama’s
government subsidies and interference. Crossroads GPS also launched a
longer-form web-ad to complement the effort, which can be viewed here.
“Instead of delivering practical solutions to make energy
more affordable, President Obama is pursuing restrictive and naïve
policies that are hurting families at the pump and in their utility
bills,” said Crossroads GPS president Steven Law.
“There are plenty of supply-boosting solutions Obama could adopt
immediately, but he remains obsessed with impractical sideshows like
algae and Solyndra business schemes.”
Since taking office, President Obama has taken a number of aggressive
steps to limit energy production, which include blocking offshore oil
exploration, restricting the development of American oil shale, and
personally lobbying against the construction of the Keystone XL
pipeline.
Crossroads GPS is a policy and grassroots advocacy organization that
is committed to educating, equipping and mobilizing millions of
American citizens to take action on the critical economic and
legislative issues that will shape our nation’s future.
