Help Seniors For Obama Fight To Win Florida
We all know the Sunshine State’s infamous history when it comes to presidential elections. We all know the dirty tricks the other side will be playing come crunch time. With seniors such a large, pivotal voting block, they’ll need special attention in the final days to counteract the Republican Fear, Smear and Voter Suppression operation. On 9/29/08, the Elders For Obama project launched online (http://eldersforobama.com/) and had over 10,000 visitors – on Day 1. The short films presented there are an effort to persuade undecided seniors (and other voters), many of them former Hillary Clinton supporters, to vote Democratic on Election Day. The films are simple and stark — no slick production or fancy info graphics. Just intimate, heartfelt insights from outspoken seniors on the candidates and key issues in this historic election. Since launch day, many thousands more have visited the website, where brand new material will keep appearing right up to Election Day. Thousands of others have watched the films on YouTube and other video sharing sites. And now, we need all the help we can get with a last big push planned for the final week of the campaign. Our plan is to use new 60-second “Elders For Obama” TV ads to target undecided older White voters in specific Florida counties who are still “reachable” – those fed up with the Economy, Iraq, and the ruins of Republican rule — but who remain uncomfortable with Barack Obama and susceptible to the senior-targeted disinformation campaign in full swing down here.

And it looks once again, that As Goes Florida, So Goes This Election. Check out 2 of the ads here: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=nXe9DK8V7FI&fmt=6 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?
