This group is really annoying me. I'm seeing ads on TV all the time.

Last ad had a woman whose husband died on 9/11 and her son died in Iraq, YET she says we must keeping fighting in Iraq and Afganistan to "win" the war against terrorism.

Somebody has some deep pockets on this distorted position, or are that many people really donating to their website to run all these ads on network channels? I thought only 30% of Americans supported the war? Wonder if "end the war because my son was killed there" ads would raise a ton of money we could use to campaign for RP. Just wondering. Somehow these warmongerers are onto something with the money they must be raising for all these ads.

Look at it this way: These ads are 'Advertising Expense' to keep up their 'Gross Revenue' of bullet sales and other stuff.

What can we do to torture this Org.?

These are VERY deep pockets. You're looking at Ari Fleischer and friends.
