The Courage Campaign thought Californians should know about that. And our members agreed, putting up the money to get this ad produced and now aired on stations in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and the Silicon Valley.

You can hear the ad by clicking this link. And you can donate to help support and expand the ad buy at the same link. Just a few dollars - $25, $50, $100, whatever you can give - will help spread the word.

We've already been getting some earned media attention on this ad. Last night Candy Crowley mentioned it on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360° show. And on Tuesday, Carla Marinucci covered it at the SF Chronicle blog.

We'd love it if you could help us expand the buy. Meg Whitman is blanketing the state with her ads. The Courage Campaign doesn't have those kind of resources, but with your help we can get this ad on more radio stations and hold Whitman accountable.

Over the flip is the transcript of the ad.

There is something rotten in Denmark.

At the climate change conference in Copenhagen, world leaders -- including President Obama and Governor Schwarzenegger -- are working on real solutions to global warming.

But Meg Whitman, who wants to be Governor of California, is standing with Sarah Palin and a group of extreme right-wingers in attacking solutions to the climate crisis.

Whitman wants to reverse California's groundbreaking effort to address global warming -- stopping a measure Governor Schwarzenegger went to Copenhagen to defend.

Why do out-of-touch ideologues like Sarah Palin and Meg Whitman oppose common-sense solutions to stop global warming?

Talk about "going rogue."

Go to CourageCampaign.org to learn why Meg Whitman is California's Sarah Palin.

We don't need another extremist "going rogue" on Californians.
