We have two ways to show you that the ads being run by the Center for Individual Freedom are resonating:
1) The comments section of the article below; and
2) The fact that General McGraw decided to heck with the First Amendment – these ads are getting West Virginian’s attention.
The ad he doesn’t like is posted here.
From the Charleston Gazette:
Attorney General Darrell McGraw filed an election violations complaint Thursday, asking Secretary of State Betty Ireland to investigate a group called Citizens for Individual Freedom.
Based in Alexandria, Va., CFIF has been running television ads attacking McGraw, saying he misused money his office received from settlements of a host of lawsuits filed in recent years.
During a press conference at the state Capitol on Thursday, McGraw said his office has used less than 1 percent of $2 billion he has collected from legal actions during the past 15 years. McGraw filed those suits on behalf of consumers against a variety of credit card, tobacco, insurance, energy and pharmaceutical companies.
The television ads urge voters to oppose McGraw’s re-election. But the ads do not specifically mention Dan Greear, his Republican opponent in November’s general election.
