Freedom Foundation kicks off major TV ad campaign targeting government workers

Public employees in Orange County, Calif., West Palm Beach, Fl., and Cincinnati, Ohio, will be the first in the country to view new television ads created by the Freedom Foundation to inform them of their constitutional right to extricate themselves from the tentacles of big government unions and give themselves a pay raise in the process.

The 30- and 15-second spots began airing on broadcast and cable outlets Monday, Aug. 22.

“This is just the beginning of our media outreach campaign to public employees,” said Freedom Foundation CEO Aaron Withe. “Since expanding to all 50 states last summer, we’ve contacted millions of government employees, including teachers, via email, mail and door-to-door canvassing. Now, we’re taking our message to the airwaves. “

Withe said he anticipates huge numbers of government union members will contact the Freedom Foundation thanks to the commercials.

“These are markets we’ve never tried to reach before through broadcast and cable TV,” he said, “and, unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of workers living there whose union has been able, up to now, to suppress their First Amendment rights.”

That’s about to change.
