Amnesty Leaders Targeted With New 'Where's The Fence?' TV Spots Airing This Week

Second round of ads debut Wednesday as direct challenge to amnesty leaders Bush, Kennedy, McConnell, Reid, Lott, McCain and Kyl

MAXWELL, Iowa, June 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following on the heels of their highly successful "Where's The Fence?" ad featuring three elderly women searching for the border fence, this week Grassfire.org debuts its second ad in the series targeting the leaders who brought the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill back to the Senate floor.

"By issuing macho 'see you at the bill signing' challenges and bringing this bill back the President and Senate Amnesty leaders are mocking the American people," says Steve Elliott, President of Grassfire.org. "That's why we decided to take the gloves off a bit with this ad and directly challenge the amnesty co-conspirators. These leaders will not like seeing their faces on this ad."

The ad features one of the ladies repeating the "Where's The Fence?" line as images of the key amnesty leaders (Kennedy, Reid, McConnell, Lott, Kyl and McCain) appear on the screen. The ad concludes with a direct challenge to President Bush, the main instigator of the amnesty bill's revival. This new ad will begin airing on Wednesday (6/20) in Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi and Nevada. Grassfire is also airing the original "Where's The Fence?" spot in select key target states. Combined with the initial ad release, the "Where's The Fence?" campaign budget now exceeds $200,000 and is expected to reach upwards of 25 million citizens.
