Opposed to Wiretap Amnesty? Run a TV Ad for Six Bucks If you're one of the thousands of voters angry over the Democrats' cave on domestic spying and telecom amnesty, a new online grassroots movement is now making it easy to buy a local ad on MSNBC, CNN and several other networks, for less money than you'd think.
The grassroots group Get FISA Right has created a 30-second spot critical of the surveillance bill passed by Congress earlier this month. It's placed the spot with a Los Angeles startup that buys ad time in bulk from cable providers and resells off slivers to individuals willing to pay for airtime in markets around the country. The mashup means anyone who supports the repeal of the controversial law can pay online with a credit card to run the advertisement in any of eight cable TV markets around the country. By August 15, 22 markets will be available. The cost of spots varies from six dollars for placement on CNBC between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in Cleveland, for example, to $1,856 to run on CNN in New York City between 6 p.m. and midnight. more... http://tinyurl.com/5udoke _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
