New TV Ad Thanks President Obama for Standing up to Polluters On January 12, the Sierra Club released a high saturation television ad in the Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, OH thanking President Obama for protecting Americans from toxic pollution and for issuing life-saving protections from dirty air pollution that blows across state lines and toxic mercury, a potent brain poison that threatens young children. The ad follows a previous ad that aired in Ohio markets in December, celebrating the Obama Administration's landmark protections against toxic mercury. The ad, titled "It's that Simple," hits the air as some members of Congress threaten to roll back and even permanently weaken toxic pollution protections at the behest of corporate polluters, and against strong public support for cleaning up toxic pollution. - Founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1892, the Sierra Club is now the nation's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization -- with more than two million members and supporters. Our successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. More recently, we've made history by leading the charge to address climate disruption by moving away from the dirty fossil fuels and toward a clean energy economy.
