A front group created by former White House aides named "Freedom's Watch" began a $15 million, five week advertising campaign yesterday. Their goal? To apply pressure on Congressmembers who may be wavering in their support for the war in Iraq.
Their seemingly grassroots campaign provides viewers with a phone number to call Congress and voice their concerns. But beware: the special number isn't intended for everyone...
OPERATOR: Thank you for calling Freedom's Watch. Do you believe surrender in Iraq will increase the terror threat to America?
CALLER: No, no. I don't -- I don't agree with that.
OPERATOR: Oh.. kay. Alright. Um, what the center does is we patch through those in support of the war.
CALLER: You only patch through people who support the war?
OPERATOR: Yes.

So now you expect a lobbying group to help people who oppose their goals, eh? Alrighty then.
