Palin wolf killing ad: “the first ad in over a month that seems to have broken through,”

You Tube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQobIUE1zTU

***IMPORTANT Information From Defenders of Wildlife!***

Our hard-hitting TV ad on Governor Sarah Palin’s support for aerial hunting of wolves is “the first ad in over a month that seems to have broken through,” according to a new study by the independent research firm, HCD Research.
<1>

According to the study, support for McCain-Palin among Democrats, Independents and even Republicans declined after viewing this powerful ad.

Eighteen percent of likely voters are still undecided, <2> and we don’t have much time to make sure as many potential voters as possible know the awful truth about the person who could be just a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Please help us air our hard-hitting TV ad on Palin’s shameful record in key states around the vice presidential debate with a donation right now.

Thanks to more than 15,000 dedicated wildlife supporters, we’ve already been able to run the ad in Ohio, Florida and Michigan -- reaching millions of potential voters in key swing states that will help determine the outcome of the presidential election.

But the vice presidential debate is just one week away and there are still millions of potential voters across the U.S. who don’t know about *** PALINS BRUTAL AND MERCILESS AERIAL KILLING PROGRAM, her proposal to dole out $150 for the severed forelegs of dead wolves*** or her $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign supporting this awful practice.

Please consider donating today to make sure that millions of potential voters know the truth about Governor Sarah Palin’s brutal record and help us provide a voice for wildlife in the political process.

As the election draws closer, it is getting more and more costly to run our ads. But if you can help us raise $250,000 by next Thursday, we can keep our ad on the air in Ohio, Florida, Northern Virginia and Michigan for a few more days and run the ad in another key battleground state -- Colorado.

This is a powerful story. In less than two weeks, this video has been viewed on YouTube nearly 380,000 times. It has sparked news stories on Governor Palin’s awful environmental record in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, CNN and --just this past weekend -- a CBS Nightly News segment. And the TV ad has already been seen by millions of potential voters in Ohio, Florida and Michigan.

Together, we can do
more. I need you to join the fight to let potential voters know out about Governor Palin’s awful policies.

Please contribute whatever you can today to help Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund air this powerful ad and provide a voice for our wildlife and for people like you and me who care about protecting it.

Time is running out to make a difference. I hope you’ll help.
