The following ads were aired in the last 60 days
of the 2002 election and mentioned or depicted a candidate
for federal office. Therefore, if BCRA would have been in affect for the 2002
Senate and House elections these
spots would have had to have been paid for by hard money.
University of Wisconsin Advertising Project coders judged that the all of
these spots were meant
to influence an election. What do you think?
Click on each of the spots and think how you
would answer the following
question: “In your
opinion, is the purpose of the ad to provide information about or urge action
on
a bill or issue, or is it to generate support or opposition for a particular
candidate?”
