yup, What I don't understand is why one of these folks doesn't take the
million bucks a national ad is costing, show up at a homeless shelter,
orphanage,
or habitat project and spend that million to build a shelter, or 20 habitat
houses. They would get FAR more tv coverage than the tv ads the million
would
buy and all of it would be positive coverage. The news folks would cover
this and follow the story for months, for free. The money would also stay in
the
us, as pay for workers, building materials, etc.

I agree it is wasteful, but at least the money stays in the US for the most

airtime- I think those dollars stay here.
