You may have already seen this ad from We Can Solve It somewhere, but you definitely didn't catch it after the debate on Tuesday night, because ABC refused to run it!
Even though We Can Solve It has the money to pay for the air time, and even though climate change is one of the biggest issues in the presidential campaign, ABC won't put the ad on the air. Not only that, they won't give a reason for their refusal!
Here is the totally innocuous script:
The solution to our climate crisis seems simple.I can't see anything in there for ABC to object to, unless they hate the environment, or are so scared of the Big Oil cabal that they don't dare anger the giant.
Repower America with wind and solar.
End our dependence on foreign oil. A stronger economy.
So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy?
Because big oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy.
Lobbyists, ads, even scandals.
All to increase their profits, while America suffers.
Breaking big oil's lock on our government ...
Now that's change.
We're the American people and we approve this message.
Go check out the We Can Solve It site, where they have have a super fast form that makes it easy for you to ask "WTF ABC?"
Maybe we can get ABC to at least explain what their problem is with the ad. Even better, if enough people write in, maybe ABC will agree to run the ad during 20/20 on Friday!
