Finally, the energy reform bill, which is currently being debated in the Senate, is getting its due--a TV ad campaign. As you're probably well aware, there's been quite a public campaign waged by the opponents of energy reform--namely, the fossil fuel industry--to discredit (often falsely) the Democrat-sponsored, bipartisan-supported climate bill. Some positive media should help balance the scales a little, and get the message of why we need energy reform out to more citizens.

The ads, which I've posted below, are pretty standard political TV spot fare Which isn't a bad thing at all; they're positive and credible, and they help spread a necessary message.

If you agree with this ads message, you can help by forwarding the video to friends and family, or by supporting Vote Vets over at their website.

And this video, from the League of Conservation Voters, highlights the very real link between opposition to energy reform and big oil and coal interests. Help this ad reach the national market at the LCV website.
