The Ad Council is launching America Supports You because we know that America's support of the military has an incredibly positive impact on the troops that are serving abroad.

Everyone has their own filter.

We are grateful to News Corporation for their generous commitment of donated advertising time and space to this important campaign. Their support in media frequented by our target audience will go a long way to getting this important message out to teens and their parents.

It's been our charter to do that kind of messaging, but we are careful not to get involved in political issues. We are totally nonpartisan.

Human beings are very complicated, and there are a lot of interesting barriers we set up (to justify behaviors that aren't in our best interests). The key to advertising is not to bash them down with a battering ram but to coax out the positive behaviors.
