The Sock is on the Other Foot: Sierra Club Releases When the Puppets Came to Town
On eve of South Carolina primary, parody of When Mitt Romney Came to Town exposes primary candidates’ dangerous ties to big polluters
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Sierra Club’s Voter Education released “When the Puppets Came
to Town,” a parody of Winning Our Future’s “When Mitt Romney Came to Town” and
the latest video release for the Club’s Real
Republicans project. Click here to watch.
The project includes a series of videos featuring the candidates’ actual words coming from the mouths of sock puppets uncannily designed in their likenesses. Previous videos from the project are available at realrepubs.com.
For the 2012 campaign, the “Real Republicans” project represents the first major effort by an environmental organization to fight back against the stream of misinformation scapegoating clean air, clean water, and public health safeguards and the agencies that implement them.
The “Real Republicans” project is supported by online advertising on South Carolina news outlets and Facebook. New videos and initiatives will be launched throughout the primary campaign.
