Madison - To reach a broader audience with an indictment of dysfunctional state government and a call to action on behalf of political reform, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign will begin airing a television ad in several state TV markets in the next week.
The animated 30-second ad features a depiction of a fiddler with two heads - an elephant’s and a donkey’s - and a Capitol engulfed in flames. The ad will air on stations in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison, Eau Claire, La Crosse and Wausau. (Watch ad.)
Here is the ad’s script:

There are a lot of burning issues at the state Capitol . . . billion-dollar deficits . . . vanishing manufacturing jobs . . . a health care crisis . . . and felony charges against legislative leaders. It’s time to put out the fires . . . And stop this incessant fiddling. Demand clean government and REAL democracy. Contact the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign www.wisdc.org 888-455-4260 |
