Americans to Oppose Reid Leaps Into Action!
Carson City, Nevada – May 6, 2007 – A new Nevada based group of activists are organizing a political action committee with the intent of officially opposing Senator Harry Reid. The group, naming itself “Americans to Oppose Harry Reid”, is kicking off its campaign by urging Senator John Ensign to end his silence in regards to Harry Reid and formally oppose his recent comments on the war in Iraq.
The Oppose Reid project (www.opposereid.com) is gearing up for an aggressive campaign to put pressure on Harry Reid. The group is planning protests in both Nevada and Washington, DC, wide scale petitions, internet activism campaigns, and is offering a plethora of bumper stickers and other products aimed at generating awareness regarding the disdain for Harry Reid in Nevada.
Organization director Eric Odom said the effort was long overdue. “Harry Reid has been an embarrassment to Nevadans for some time now. Every time he opens his mouth I cringe at the thought of what might come out. It’s clear that many Nevadans feel the same way and are ready for action.”
The group launched its website on Tuesday, May 1st, and since then has been contacted by hundreds of Americans interested in joining the effort. Odom says he’s been contacted by a dozen members of the US military who wish to begin writing for the site soon. One soldier, who just returned from Iraq, is even looking at putting together videos for the group to use in its internet campaigns.
One of the first campaigns is a petition to urge John Ensign to oppose Harry Reid. The petition is live and online.
Odom is joined by Jay Lesseig of Sparks, a former Marine who served in Desert Storm, and Don Alexander, an activist out of Carson City.
