Vote No on Amendment 1 —LAKE WALB Ad

The WCTV news report didn't mention something else LAKE has done about the Tim Golden use of a LAKE video without the required attribution: LAKE paid for a TV ad on the same WALB market as Golden's ad. That LAKE ad is still playing today: watch the news and football on WALB in Valdosta and Hahira.

Bikram Mohanty is a man of integrity running for Georgia state Senate.

The incumbent Tim Golden's attack ad misuses a video I took of Bikram Mohanty, without the credit its YouTube license requires.

Tim Golden voted to put on the ballot an amendment that could siphon off your local tax dollars for charter schools, even if your school board doesn't want them.

Vote for integrity; vote for Bikram Mohanty for Georgia state Senate, and vote No for Amendment 1.

This WALB ad, like the WCTV news interview, is another rare instance of the LAKE politburo deciding LAKE would go on record as an organization, so I was speaking for LAKE.

TL;DR: If you want to use LAKE materials, cite the source.

Nice work, John! Clear and concise.

Thanks. Professional newsreaders make it look easy, but refining a message to fit in 30 seconds, memorizing it, and presenting it, turns out to be much harder than it looks, especially when you have only a couple of hours to do it. WALB staff made it a lot easier. -jsq
