In the midst of an economic crisis, Senators McCain and Obama are spending record amounts on negative campaign ads - $30 miller per week combined!

According to the Wall Street Journal, these negative ads are having practically no impact on the election cycle whatsoever.

There are three weeks left in this election - that's $90 million dollars that will likely be spent on ineffective, negative campaign ads. That's a lot of cash.

This money should be directed to charities trying to help struggling people get through these difficult times. With charitable donations down and demand for services up, they need all the help they can get.

Senators Obama and McCain: Put your money where your mouth is! Nix the negative ads and put the money towards helping the real victims of the economic crisis.
