The Super Bowl Commercial You Won't See



The Super Bowl Commercial You Won't See
by Marcia Segelstein

That wonderful pro-life Obama commercial you may have seen here recently was supposed to run during the Super Bowl on Sunday. After first accepting it, NBC apparently changed its collective mind, saying it wasn't going to run advocacy ads during the big game.

Brian Burch, President of Fidelis, a Chicago-based Catholic organization responsible for the commercial, says that NBC initially responded positively and he was raising money to pay for it. Watch the commercial below, and imagine the impact it could have had on the millions who watch the Super Bowl.

Take Action!
E-mail your comments to NBC. As of the time of this alert, NBC had not sold out all their ad slots, so there is still time for them to reconsider. In addition to sending an e-mail, please call NBC Entertainment at 818-840-4444. Tell the operator that you want to urge NBC to reconsider airing the Super Bowl ad produced by Catholicvote.org.
