Latest Campaign Ads
This week we released a number of new television and web ads. You can watch all of the new ads on our website in the multimedia section, so be sure to visit the site today.
One of our latest television ads, entitled "Family," highlights Barack Obama's support for higher taxes and increased government spending that will only put more burdens on America's small businesses and cost jobs. While Barack Obama is the biggest celebrity in the world, that doesn't do much to help American families who are hurting from higher gas prices. John McCain has proposed an "all of the above" energy plan -- the Lexington Project -- to produce more energy here in America, invest in renewable energy, create jobs and achieve energy independence. Click here to watch the ad.
"Praising McCain" is our most recent web ad and it shows major Obama supporters praising John McCain's record of working across the aisle to get results for the American people. If we are to move America forward, we need a president who will put partisanship aside to do what's right for the American people and that man is John McCain. Go to www.JohnMcCain.com/TVAds to watch "Praising McCain" and all of our latest ads as soon as they are released.

Protecting Our Energy Security
Our nation's future security and prosperity depend on the next president making the hard choices that would break our nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy and ensure our economic prosperity by meeting tomorrow's demands for a clean energy portfolio.
John McCain has made the necessary choices - producing more power, pushing technology to help free our transportation sector from its use of foreign oil, cleaning up our air and addressing climate change, and ensuring that Americans have dependable, renewable energy sources. He will lead the effort as president to develop advanced transportation technologies and alternative fuels to promote energy independence and cut-off the flow of oil wealth to regimes like Iran. Click here to learn more details about this project.
Obama's Energy Plan
Senator Obama has an interesting solution to high gas prices: make sure your tires are inflated. It is clear Senator Obama has no plan to address the energy challenges we face as a nation or how to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
John McCain is prepared to lead our country as president to break our dependence on foreign oil with real solutions. He believes we should lift the federal ban on offshore drilling, enabling you to decide where we drill for oil.
We need your help to ensure that John McCain will be our next president and enact these policies for our country. With your donation of $25 or more right now, we'll send you a tire gauge to test for yourself, Senator Obama's "tire gauge" energy policy. Please click here to contribute today.
