Dear Friends of OCALA,
As you know, last
week was Lawsuit Abuse Awareness Week and OCALA launched our
first ever statewide TV ad campaign. Thanks to the help of our
supporters here in Ohio, we were able to raise the $20,000 that
we needed to be on FOX News in primetime across the state. The
ad was a big hit according to those who called the office to
lend their support. You’ll also be happy to know that the ad
apparently struck a chord with the personal injury lawyer
community. We had a few calls from some personal injury lawyers
who were not too happy with us to say the least. If the personal
injury lawyers are upset we must be doing something right.
We also supported the
ad with a statewide media blitz. On Monday, we were featured on
the 6pm and 11pm news broadcasts on WLIO-TV, the NBC affiliate
in Lima. We were also featured in several Internet news stories
from around the country on sites such as the Dallas Morning
News, Forbes.com, and Yahoo. On Tuesday, we did a 15 minute
interview with Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW-AM in Cincinnati. WLW
is the largest radio station in Ohio and we were very fortunate
to get on one of its top programs. On Wednesday, we were
featured on the 12pm, 6pm, and 11pm news on WHIZ-TV, the NBC
affiliate in Zanesville. We were also featured throughout the
day during newsbreaks on WHIZ AM and FM. Finally on Saturday, we
were featured in an article in Ohio’s largest newspaper the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
We are still working
to get the clips of the TV and radio broadcasts, but some of the
print stories are linked below. You can also view the TV ad at

Thanks again, to all
of you who helped make this week such a success.
Sincerely,
Jeff Longstreth
