As the political action committee [3] (PAC) "Our Country Deserves Better [4]" prepares for its national tour [5] of "patriotic rallies" against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama [6], columnist Bill Berkowitz interviews the PAC's coordinator, Joe Wierzbicki [7]. Like many of the PAC's officers, Wierzbicki works for the Republican-associated PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers [8] and with the pro-war group Move America Forward [9]. Wierzbicki said the PAC hopes to "raise in excess of $1 million by Election Day," and run ads in "ten states." In regards to the PAC's ad that questions Obama's statements on religion, Wierzbicki asked, "Is Barack Obama's faith the Muslim registration listed by his family when he was a student growing up in Indonesia? Or is it the black liberation theology espoused by Reverend Jeremiah Wright [10]...? Or is it the mainstream Christianity he identified with in the forum hosted by Pastor Rick Warren [11]?" But Wierzbicki claimed his PAC isn't "Swiftboating [12]" Obama, because, for example, "We've not used the photographs of Barack Obama in what some call 'Muslim garb' because the photos by themselves are inconclusive." They also decided, "despite the controversy that her words created," not to "use Michelle Obama's comments about this being the first time in her adult life that she was proud to be an American." Move America Forward also launched the MAF Freedom PAC [13], which opposes Obama and supports various Republican Congressional candidates.
