79. Leave it to Democrats to F up an easily winning issue.
The way they are going about this makes it sound like a wild conspiracy theory.

"Spending Millions from secret donors to elect Republicans to do their bidding in Congress. It appears they're even taking secret foreign money to influence our elections." ????

Really? You had to make it sound like a nutty conspiracy theory than nailing it down to exactly what it is.

The Chamber of Commerce accepts money from foreign corporations as part of their structure. Make the simple logical connection that they are looking out for the interests of these foreign corporations and using their money to influence our election. You don't need to tie together the "conspiracy" for people.. it only makes you look crazy.

You lay out what we KNOW is true and then allow people to connect their own dots.

The AD:

"The Chamber of Commerce has spent millions of dollars this election trying to buy your vote"

"Where did the money come from?"

"The Chamber of Commerce receives money from foreign corporations"
(show images of foreign money, shady transactions)

"Is that money being used to influence our elections?"

"They refuse to say"

"Is the Chamber of Commerce looking out for YOUR best interests or THEIRS?"


Now, when the people see an ad from the Chamber of Commerce or hear their name... it is suspect.
