Save the Sound Launches Radio Spots in Anti-Broadwater Campaign Calling on Citizens to Call Governor Pataki
New Haven (PRWeb) December 14, 2006 -- Save the Sound, a program of Connecticut Fund for the Environment, is launching a radio ad campaign to remind the public that Gov. George E. Pataki's administration has the power to deny Broadwater's easement application until he leaves office at the end of December.
"We are using these radio ads to rally public support in the effort to stop Broadwater Energy's proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industrial complex," said Leah Schmalz, director of legislative and legal affairs for Save the Sound. "The ad will serve as a wake-up call to citizens who may be unaware that Broadwater's proposal will degrade and deny public access to large portions of Long Island Sound."
The ad also guides listeners to the Save the Sound website for more information about upcoming public hearings on the project.
The 60-second radio spot features two characters fishing on Long Island Sound. When they cross the proposed Broadwater safety and security exclusion zone, the fishermen are surprised by an announcement ordering them to leave. It concludes by asking the public to "tell Governor Pataki that Broadwater is the one who has to leave."
The commercial, which was produced for Save the Sound by Robbett Advocacy Media, an award winning creator of political and public affairs advertising based in Westport, Conn., will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 13 and run through Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006, on WCBS-AM in New York City, WGY-AM in Albany, WALK-FM and WHLI-FM on Long Island; and WEZN-FM, WPLR-FM and WCTY-FM in Connecticut. Additional spots will air early in 2007.
The complex that Shell Oil's Broadwater subsidiary is proposing for Long Island Sound would be approximately 11 miles south of Connecticut and nine miles north of New York in New York waters. It is expected to receive two to three weekly shipments of LNG via tankers that will enter the Sound through The Race - the constricted, eastern-most access point. Broadwater would exclude citizens from portions of the Sound and could require them to subsidize safety and security response for the project through local cost sharing.
Reporters can hear the radio ad by visiting www.savethesound.org.
