Since the inception of Freedom’s Watch, I have received countless words of encouragement and support from conservatives across the nation – influential elected officials, prominent business leaders, and ordinary Americans whose day-to-day contributions to this nation are anything but ordinary. This outpouring has validated for me what I already knew: there is a very real and pronounced desire among conservatives for a well-funded, vocal and effective organization that can help shape and influence the critical public policy debates of the day.

Who says the New York Times doesn’t have a comic section?

NY Times readers were this morning greeted to a full page cartoon masquerading as a serious issue advertisement courtesy of MoveOn.org.  After previously playing schoolyard name games with General Patraeus, MoveOn spent tens of thousands of dollars (assuming the Times didn’t give it another friendly “discount”) to make a mockery of the situation in Iran. 

As many of you have heard, over the weekend NBC relented and decided to air the Freedom’s Watch ads wishing our troops a happy holidays.  We are glad that NBC ultimately decided to do the right thing and air the Freedom's Watch television ads supporting our troops.  Thanking our troops is not a political statement – it is a patriotic one.
