Send a Message to Lamar Advertising
Today, at around 10 AM, the DNC got two phone calls -- the first came from Lamar Advertising's Cincinnati office, who informed us they would not be providing a quote for buying billboard space based on the content of the "Shame on Jean Schmidt" billboard. A second call came minutes later from Lamar's Huntington, West Virginia office. Their manager informed us that he too was rejecting the ad. This rejection came more than 24 hours after the DNC had signed a contract with Lamar and 48 hours after they had accepted the artwork for the billboards you helped pay to put up.
By rejecting these billboards, Lamar has limited your right to be heard. They've stood up to silence millions of Democrats who believe that attacking veterans for political gain is disgusting, and they think they can get away with it because they own nearly every billboard in the district.
Tell Lamar to let us know immediately whether they intend to honor its contract -- and if not, why. Fairness and the public interest demand no less.
