Letter Writing Campaign

If the Republican National Committee doesn't agree with a commercial about the President's Social Security reforms, they try to get it pulled off the air. The RNC sent letters to 14 TV outlets demanding taht an ad from the liberal MoveOn.org be pulled. The letters invoke the name of the FCC and suggests their broadcast licenses could be in trouble if they air the ads.

Jim Behling, general manager at WNDU-TV in South Bend said, "There were some things in the tone that I didn't appreciate."

The other GMs apparently had the same attitude. None of the stations that got the letters pulled the ads. (USA Today)
