Latest Ad: Taxman

Today we released our latest television ad, "Taxman." The ad highlights Barack Obama's agenda to raise taxes that are a "recipe for economic disaster." In addition to higher taxes, Barack Obama's plans will lead to higher gas prices and break your family's budget. Click here to watch the ad.

Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency

Tonight, John McCain and Senator Barack Obama will each have an opportunity to address the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency with Dr. Rick Warren in Lake Forest, California.



Dr. Warren will moderate the event and ask each candidate the same questions. The questions will cover each candidate's stewardship, leadership, world view and America's role in the world. The event will air on national television on CNN and FOX News at 8pm Eastern, August 16th. You can also watch online at www.SaddlebackCivilForum.com.
