JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION NETWORK LAUNCHES NEW SUPREME COURT AD IN OHIO AND PITTSBURGH

Washington, DC - The Judicial Confirmation Network (JCN) today extended its nationwide public education and membership campaign with a new $250,000 television ad buy in Ohio and Pennsylvania, including Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh as well as northern West Virginia.  The ad will also be featured on the Drudge Report website.  The campaign has now exceeded $1.3 million.
 
"As we sit here today, America has a liberal, activist majority Supreme Court that continues to chop away at our Constitution.  So much energy has been exhausted on so many other important -- and unimportant -- issues in the presidential election, that with 10 days left, now is the perfect window for Americans to focus on what even makes these public debates possible:  our Constitution,” said Wendy Long of the Judicial Confirmation Network. 
 
"As Ronald Reagan said, it's a miracle in the history of human government that comes along once in 6,000 years.  Americans need to think about how our Supreme Court has treated our Constitution, and how we can all discharge our responsibilities to take better care of it in the future.  Senator Obama has proposed the same kind of liberal activism that has done so much damage to our constitutional republic in the past 50 years.  Senator McCain proposes restoring respect for what made our country great," said Long.

America:  land of opportunity -- and prosperity.
But what made America great is what we stand for:  liberty -- equality -- inalienable rights. 
Fixing the economy is crucial.
But America's principles and Constitution are threatened by one more liberal activist vote on the Supreme Court.
