Recently, a video by independent filmmaker cartwrightdale "went viral", earning more than 200,000 YouTube views in only 48 hours, and was discussed widely on blogs, magazines, radio, and television. After hundreds of emails asking "how can we get this on t.v.", truthandhope.org has partnered with cartwrightdale (real name John K. Addis) to produce a broadcast-quality version of this ad, and create other ads in the same theme. In the coming weeks, you'll even be able to vote on which ad should be run as the second in the series.

Right now, truthandhope.org is raising money to place this ad on the air within one week of the Republican National Convention. We will be creating two additional ads in this theme as the election draws closer. If you have suggestions on what specific information the new ads should contain, be sure to email us with your thoughts.

TruthandHope.org was founded in 2004 by Eugene Hedlund to advance progressive values, and was credited with helping Howard Dean win Vermont, long after even the Dean campaign had stopped running ads. You can watch our videos from the last Presidential campaign here.

Want to see this ad (or a very close version to it) on the air? We need your help!
