‘Dear Senator’ ads hit Washington today

The District of Columbia will be under a new radio assault beginning
today. The “Dear Senator” phase of the “Dear Mr. President” publicity
campaign kicks in, airing once an hour during prime drive-time radio
hours.

Creator of the radio spots, Steve Vaus said, “It seems like a lot of
people have resigned themselves to a ‘not guilty’ verdict in the Senate
trial. But I remain hopeful that truth and justice will win out over
political expediency. As long as the public continues to give this radio
campaign support I’m going to keep it on the airwaves.”

In fact, the grass-roots financial support seems to be growing
stronger. After Vaus was interviewed by Melanie Morgan on KSFO, San
Francisco last Friday morning, over $15,000 in contributions poured in
to the San Diego headquarters of the radio effort.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Vaus remarked. “By the end of the
day over $20,000 in new support had come our way, putting us over the
$100,000 mark.”

Since announcing the new phase of the campaign last week, still more
radio stations have come on board offering free airtime. Adding even
more impetus to the effort, in the last few day, 325,000 homes have
received
the newest edition of Rev. Jerry Falwell’s “National Liberty Journal”
which includes a front page feature on the ad campaign.

The “Dear Senator” ads shift the focus of the public relations
campaign onto the senators themselves. Like the “Dear Mr. President”
ads, the new spots feature “letters” from kids — this time asking the
senators to explain to the kids’ parents that “lying is no big deal” The
ads say in part, “My parents just don’t get it! If lying doesn’t bother
you (the senators) then it shouldn’t bother them.” The ads also take a
swipe at the polls saying, “PS – Senator, when you talk to my parents,
tell them 73 percent of my friends think I shouldn’t be punished.”

Vaus said, “These ads shift the focus where it needs to be now. The
Senate needs to remember that America is watching. Truth must triumph in
this matter or we send a terrible message to the children.”
