WASHINGTON, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Floyd Brown, producer of the
famous 1988 "Willie Horton" commercial that helped defeat Michael Dukakis, has
just launched a new issue advocacy ad campaign that details the records of
Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton. 

Citizens for a Safe and Prosperous America is headed by California State
Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.  Regarding the new ad, DeVore said, "Senators Obama
and Clinton want to raise taxes.  Americans should have this information and
be aware of the other extremely liberal positions Obama and Clinton hold."

He collaborated with Brown, a long time conservative strategist, to produce
the powerful 30-second television ad exposing these Senator's records on
taxes, immigration and other important issues. The ad is set to begin airing
in North Carolina this week.   

"The ad draws a parallel between Obama and Clinton's records on taxes," said
Brown. "The bottom line is that they can't deal with our economic problems by
raising taxes. International competition cannot be addressed by raising taxes
and raising the costs of business in America."

A News Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23 in the Lisagor Room at
the National Press Club in Washington, DC from noon until 12:30 pm Eastern
Time featuring the ad's producer Floyd Brown discussing the impact of the ad
airing in North Carolina, and to show the news media a copy for the first
time. The news conference is sponsored by Citizens for a Safe and Prosperous
America.
