Get FISA right is delighted to announce that our new video/cable TV ad, Congratulations, President Obama. Please get FISA right, premiers January 20, Inauguration Day, on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and the Comedy Channel.
How cool is that? All the more so because our top-five finish in change.org’s Ideas for Change in America (details TBD, latest update here), which means we’ll get to work with change.org and MySpace Impact to promote it. w00t w00t! Thanks to SaysMe.tv for all their help, to Jason Rosenbaum of The Seminal for a key blog post, and to Get FISA Right members for collaboratively writing the script — and contributing to launch the ad in DC.
Get FISA Right members (and anybody else who wants to help): please share the video with your friends. Email the link, blog about it and mention it in comments, post and share on Facebook, change your status (mine currently says “Jon is going to be on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and Comedy channel tomorrow! http://tinyurl.com/8jpwso.etc”), tweet, etc, etc.. Thanks!
If you’d like to congratulate President Obama, please leave a message in a comment either at the bottom of this page — or on Facebook or on YouTube, if you prefer. If you want, you can also share your views with him and the new administration about FISA, the PATRIOT Act, and civil liberties. Please keep it down to a few sentences at the most (and link out to anything longer), and stay positive and on-topic. And if you’d like to congratulate other Get FISA Right members, feel free to do so as well!
Draft media release below the fold.

PS: If you’d like to help air the ad on cable TV stations in DC and across the country, you can donate on the SaysMe.tv site, or sign up to help with our February money bomb on Facebook (details and other sites coming soon). We’ll be working with change.org and MySpace Impact to promote this, as well as our next video/ad, Innocent Words, Misinterpreted. Stay tuned!
