John Edwards Ad: Standing Up To Bush

TV AD: We the People Demand that Congress Stand Up to Bush

Here's the new John Edwards TV Ad -- which will be running in the D.C. market. The polls show that when Bush vetoed the Iraq funding bill, he vetoed the will of the American people.

"The president has turned a tin ear to the wishes of the American people." -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi

TPM Cafe reports: "Edwards' supporters will also be encouraged via online outreach to record their own voices making the case to Congress in the ad's script. According to the Edwards campaign, a new version with all the new voices will at some point be posted on the Web -- the idea being that the effort will snowball as more and more people add their voices to the chorus."

Update: Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) takes John Edwards to task for the ad. "Dodd is the lone presidential candidate to voice support for the measure being sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) that would set a date certain for not just withdrawal of American troops but for funding for the war."
