The Family Research Council has a new :30 ad airing Colorado, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. It's titled FOCA which stands for Freedom Of Choice Act.


As interests groups go, Family Research Council is like all the others. They have membership to address and a set of issues to focus upon.

But TV is not a targeted medium, unlike e-mails, mailings, door-to-door or phone calls.

One wonders, on both Left and Right, if some interest groups are simply doing what they always do. Voicing their issues in the same old way, without any regard to the historic dynamics of the country and the issue-set that is dominant. Tone sensitivity is sometimes difficult to hold while you're in the middle of a fight.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
