Citizens United Obama film to air on TV. You must read this. It's what they think is a game changer

Citizens United has struck a deal with a dozen television stations to run its hour-long film featuring voters disaffected with President Barack Obama, sending the Republican critique of the incumbent into tens of millions of homes in the lead-up to Election Day, the group’s officials told POLITICO.

“The Hope and the Change” directed by Stephen Bannon, who made the Sarah Palin movie “The Undefeated,” was first unveiled last month and it aired during the Republican National Convention in Tampa.


The movie’s wide release — backed by a large advertising campaign behind it — was part of the goal of the Citizens United court case that was decided in 2010 by the U.S. Supreme Court and helped to dramatically alter the landscape for political donations by allowing the unfettered flow of corporate cash into campaigns.

“This (the court case) is why I did ‘Citizens United,’” David Bossie, the group’s president said. “This would have been a criminal act under McCain-Feingold before my court case.”

5. They are preaching to the choir

98% of the public doesn't have the time or attention span to spend an hour watching a propaganda piece on TV. Most will be watching other shows or dealing with other things in their day-to-day lives.

6. A lot of home will be without lights on the day this is aired

wouldn't that be something?

7. TV stations love it!

Easy money. In fact, you can bet TV stations are all for CU.

8. They've already spent millions and it hasn't gotten Romney anywhere.

How many undecideds and independents are going to watch an hour-long anti-Obama video at this point?
