You Know That "Baby Alex" Ad MoveOn Put Out?

[JimGinPA]

I've seen it twice today here in Central PA with the tag line "the content of this ad is approved by AFSME..."

No mention of MoveOn.

1. Huh

Is that good or bad?

[Sidney J Mussburger]

4. This is good

It means MoveON and AFSME are both buying Ad time to show this commercial.

2. In Michigan I've seen both tags.

I guess it just depends on which one you catch.

3. Yeah, I Saw It Yesterday Sponsored By MoveOn - I Just Thought This Was Strange...

I like the ad, and if AFSME wants to sponsor it that's fine with me.

6. Seeing it in Cali too

don't know why they are wasting the money on us, they need to be hitting the swing states.

7. "Alex" is a joint enterprise for MoveOn and AFSCME.

I love little Alex and his mom!

8. I saw that too

I saw it on cable, DISH network. Otherwise, I don't see these ads, because they don't invest in California.

9. Betraying my ignorance once again...

:blush: but what is AFSME?

10. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.

The public service union, of which I am a proud, second generation member.

(It's actually AFSCME)

and congratulations:)

12. Same here in Massachusetts

for the past couple of days. Today both versions are playing on MSNBC. The ad was funded by both AFSME and moveon.org. I think it's better with the "approved by AFSME" ending, since moveon.org kind of has a very liberal reputation.
