If that is so, then why didn't Pro-Act and ExU rake it in after the
Turning Point Project had their ads in the NYTimes? Because nobody knows
we exist. Before the enemy's negative ads can help your cause, the
public needs to know you exist. How are we to get the public's attention
when the media is not interested in giving us coverage unless its
something really spectacular?
