Billboards in airport courses in Minneapolis and Denver urging Senators McCain and Obama to reduce nuclear dangers
The Union of Concerned Scientists (a CNWFW coalition partner) stirred up a hornet's nest in August with billboards in airport concourses in Minneapolis and Denver urging Senators McCain and Obama to reduce nuclear dangers. Northwest Airlines, the official airline of the Republican National Convention, pressured Clear Channel Outdoors to take the Minneapolis airport billboard back down, saying the sign was “scary” and “anti-McCain." Less than a week later, Clear Channel also removed the Denver sign.
See the billboards and read all about this struggle, at the Union of Concerned Scientists website and in the August 21 New York Time.
