RapidRESPONSE Media President, Demos Chrissos, wrote, directed, produced and edited the first of a series of immigration television ads for Grassfire.org entitled “Where’s the Fence?” that parodies the phrase made famous by actress Clara Peller in the 1980’s Wendy’s ad campaign “Where’s the beef?”

The campaign was filmed on location outside of Phoenix, Arizona. The goal was to focus public attention on Congress’ lack of credibility and continued failure to substantially complete a promised security fence along the southern border mandated by law last year. The campaign launches as the Senate struggles with a contentious immigration bill that core conservatives and opponents consider gives amnesty to millions of illegal aliens as supporters make new promises and claim the bill will fix the immigration problem. According to Chrissos, the spot highlights the lack of credibility of both the President and Congress on border security at a time when other "promises" to secure the border are being made by Senators that support the current bill. The initial media campaign includes one national spot and six state versions (GA,AZ,VA, KS, MS, NC) that targets key Republican and Democrat Senators who have indicated support for the bill.

A press conference yesterday was held yesterday on Capitol Hill by Rep. Steve King and Rep. Ed Royce along with Grassfire President, Steve Elliott and Communications Director Ron De Jong who submitted a petition signed by nearly 700,000 from Grassfire supporters nationwide that oppose the Kennedy-Bush bill. The event was covered by CNN, ABC, NBC and FOX as well a numerous reporters and cited in The Washington Post and other major news outlets throughout the country. Yesterday, Sean Hannity played the audio of the ad on his nationally syndicated radio show and included the ad on Hannity and Colmes last night. The audio from the TV ad has also been featured on the nationally-syndicated talk show The Laura Ingraham Show (Press to play 2-minute edited audio clip) and referred to by Laura as, "Our favorite new issues ad on the border fence."

This is the second national media campaign promoted by RapidResponse Media and Grassfire. Earlier this year, the two companies collaborated on a series of controversial radio and television campaign ("Pardon The Agents") that asked the President to pardon Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean. The two agents are serving lengthy prison sentences for wounding an illegal alien drug dealer shot resisting arrest while bringing a million dollars of drugs across the border. The drug dealer is now threatening to sue U.S. taxpayers for $5 million dollars.
