SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
This is a paid radio moment–
Oil–it fuels our cars, our jobs, and our lives.
More than 50% of America’s oil is imported.
As long as we’re dependent on foreign oil,
It’s likely we’ll have troops in the Middle East,
Because that’s where the oil is.
Even if we’d like to, we can’t drill our way out at home,
We don’t have that much oil. (pause)
We don’t need a marketing strategy, we need a real solution

From Robert Millman:

I plan to take on talk radio where I live. And I’m writing to ask you to help.

AM radio is a free market place. Anyone can place an issue ad on the air. All it takes is a credit card, an e-mail address and access to a fax machine. Depending on where you live, and what program you choose, a 30-second radio ad will cost from $20 to $120 a spot.

I have produced seven "Paid Radio Moments." They are 30-second ads that frame progressive issues. I plan on putting them on air on WGY (the big AM radio station in Albany, New York) in the first week of January.

I plan to make these audio files available to anyone willing to put them on the air in their entirety, that’s my only condition for full and free use. As long as a spot is played in full, anyone is welcome to one or all of them.
