American Encore

"Leading From Behind" +

0:30 ad run in Des Moines, IA around Nov. 24, 2015.

News clips:  Paris is once again in mourning...   this was terrorism at its worst...   this is likely ISIS...

Male Announcer:  Our leaders must keep America safe.  But when Ted Cruz had the chance to fight Barack Obama's dangerously weak anti-terror policies, he didn't.

Instead Cruz voted to weaken America's ability to identify and hunt down terrorists.  Cruz supported a bill that experts said was "crafted to hobble the gathering of electronic intelligence."

Call Ted Cruz.  Tell him to stop leading from behind.


Notes: Politico reported on this ad on Nov. 24, a $200,000 buy in Des Moines.  American Encore is a 501(c)(4) headed by Sean Noble, whom Politico reports is backing Marco Rubio.  "Leading from behind" is a favorite conservative criticism of Obama.

From the group's website:

"Sean Noble is president and founder of American Encore.  He is also is a  founding partner of DC London, Inc., an award-winning consulting firm that provides political, public relations, and  public affairs consulting services to a variety  of high-profile clients and campaigns."

America's greatest days lie ahead.
This is a steadfast belief, an intrinsic principle serving as the foundation for American exceptionalism.

Principles, though, cannot defend themselves. Our destiny as a great nation depends on the advocacy of its citizenry to defend and promote the ideals that made America the greatest nation in history. America’s greatness and its potential continue to be tested by the expansion of government bureaucracy, an assault on free enterprise and challenges to America’s defense of freedom and democracy around the globe.

American Encore is dedicated to helping our nation and its leaders rise to the test and to confront these challenges. American Encore will defend freedom, promote free markets, work to expand economic opportunity and make the case for the American ideals of liberty and democracy, both at home and abroad.

In doing so, we can ensure the next century is America’s best yet.
