Freedom’s Watch Criticizes Dems’ ‘Summer Vacation’ in New Web Ad

A new Web ad by conservative advocacy group Freedom’s Watch lambastes Democrats in Congress for failing to tackle rising energy prices.

The ad, called “Son of a Beach” begins by describing the plight of the average working American who must pay a mortgage and and for fuel.

“What do the liberals in Congress have on their mind? Summer Vacation,” the ad’s narrator states. “They’re taking the rest of the summer off.”

Set to a 1960s-style surf rock tune, the ad mocks the Democrats’ decision to go on recess without a vote on lifting the ban on offshore drilling. It features prominent Democratic senators and congressmen rollerblading, playing volleyball, reading on the beach and playing golf.

The ad ends with a narrator urging viewers to “Call the Do Nothing Democrats in Congress and tell them to get back to work on the important issues.”
