launch a national ad campaign
Launch a national ad campaign to fight crystal meth.
Occurrences
The plan includes a comprehensive antimeth national ad campaign.
Evidence
Schumer's plan will "LAUNCH A NATIONAL AD CAMPAIGN AGAINST METH ABUSE" and he called on the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy to launch a national television ad campaign to warn parents, children and communities about the dangers of methamphetamine abuse.
Introduced by Sen. Charles E. Schumer and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. The bill summary says it would amend the Controlled Substances Act to lower the threshold quantities of mixtures or substances containing methamphetamine to which penalties apply.
Since 2007, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has supported a national Anti-Meth Campaign through TV, radio, print, and online anti-meth advertising in areas of the country hardest hit by meth.
"LAUNCH A NATIONAL AD CAMPAIGN AGAINST METH ABUSE: Schumer today called on the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to launch a national television ad campaign to warn parents, children and communities about the dangers of methamphetamine abuse."
"Since 2007, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has supported a national Anti-Meth Campaign through TV, radio, print, and online anti-meth advertising in areas of the country hardest hit by meth."
Assessments
Schumer explicitly called during the 2004 Senate campaign period for ONDCP to launch a national television anti-meth campaign, and ONDCP did later support a national Anti-Meth Campaign beginning in 2007, during the Senate term following that campaign. However, the record shows the campaign as an ONDCP program rather than a Schumer-authored or Schumer-controlled action, and the evidence does not establish that his advocacy materially caused the launch. This merits partial credit with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
Schumer explicitly promised in the 2004 federal Senate campaign context to push for a national anti-meth advertising campaign and publicly called on ONDCP to launch one. A national ONDCP anti-meth media campaign did begin in 2007, during the Senate term following that campaign, so the promised policy outcome occurred within the relevant federal office period. However, the record provided does not show Schumer directly authored, funded, sponsored, or materially caused the ONDCP ad campaign; his documented concrete legislative action addressed meth penalties rather than the media campaign itself. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
