PRESS RELEASE:

Maxwell, IA–Grassfire.org Alliance, in partnership with RapidResponse Media, Inc., is announcing a major expansion of its “Pardon the Agents” TV and radio ad campaign launched last month. The latest expansion will bring the campaign to more than 260 stations across the nation, reaching millions of citizens.

“These ads are 100% citizen-funded and represent the rising tide of public opinion calling on the President to take action in this case," says Steve Elliott, President of Grassfire.org. “This issue is not going away. Americans are demanding that this injustice be corrected and these ads will only increase the pressure on the President.”

The ad campaign has been featured by dozens on news and talk outlets, including a special feature on Fox TV’s America’s Most Wanted, CNN’s Lou Dobbs, the G. Gordon Liddy Show, and Mike Gallagher Show. In addition, Grassfire’s posting of the ads on YouTube.com has generated over 90,000 views. Grassfire will also be presenting the petitions later this month to Congress in conjunction with planned hearings on this case.
