Heritage Asks TV Stations to Stop Airing Obama’s Misleading Ad

Two days after asking Barack Obama to pull a false and misleading ad citing The Heritage Foundation, the campaign has not yet responded to the request. Heritage’s attorney, Alan P. Dye, today contacted TV stations directly to stop airing the ad. Dye’s letter was sent to TV stations across the country where the Obama ad is running.

The ad" target="_blank">The ad

implies The Heritage Foundation supports Obama’s tax plan even though neither Heritage nor analyst Rea Hederman said what is quoted in the ad. The text of the letter to TV stations is below.

Dear General Manager:
We are informed that your station has been running advertisements placed by Obama for President that contain false statement concerning my client, The Heritage Foundation. The ads and the reason for their falsity are described in my attached letter to the Obama campaign. The campaign has apparently ignored my letter and continues to run the false ad.

As a responsible media outlet, we assume that you take seriously your obligation to ensure that advertisements appearing on your station do not mislead the public with false information. Accordingly, we respectfully request that your station discontinue the publication of these ads.

Further information about The Heritage Foundation’s position on the Obama and McCain tax plans can be obtained at heritage.org. After reading them, we are sure you will agree that it is misleading in the extreme for the Obama campaign to suggest that The Heritage Foundation believes that Senator Obama’s tax plan would be better for middle class Americans than the plan proposed by Senator McCain.

Very truly yours,

Alan P. Dye

Obama's False and Misleading Ad

A misleading ad from Barack Obama distorts Heritage's view of the candidate's tax plan. Help us correct the record.

Barack Obama's campaign is running a TV ad called "

Try This" target="_blank">Try This

." The 30-second spot cites The Heritage Foundation and suggests we support his tax plan. Because the Obama campaign is playing fast and loose with the facts, Heritage has asked him to pull the ad. He has ignored our request.






Here's what you need to know about the false ad:

• The New York Sun ran an article in August incorrectly paraphrasing the view of Heritage policy analyst Rea Hederman on Obama's tax plan.
• Obama's ad uses a language from the New York Sun reporter who interviewed and summarized Hederman's views erroneously.
• Even though Hederman never said what Obama attributes to Heritage in the ad, Obama continues to air the commercial.

Heritage has made it's views on Obama's tax plan well known:

• Shortly after Obama secured the Democrat nomination, Hederman wrote that Obama's plan would impose European levels of taxation on America.
• When an Obama surrogate wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Heritage favored Obama's tax plan, Hederman immediately sent a letter to the editor correcting the record.
• Earlier this month, Heritage's Center for Data Analysis released a thorough analysis of both candidates' tax plans, concluding, "Senator McCain's plan is substantially better at spurring economic growth than Senator Obama's."

Obama's refusal to correct the record or pull the ad does a disservice to voters who want factual and accurate information. As a result, Heritage's attorney wrote to TV stations airing the ad, requesting they pull it immediately. We encourage you to let us know if you've seen the ad air in your local market.
