MACOMB, Mich., Sept. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, the Freedom's Defense Fund launched their third ad in a series calling into question the judgment of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The third ad features Tony Rezko, a Chicago businessman who the New York Times called "a collector of politicians" and was convicted on 16 of 24 counts of fraud, bribery and money laundering.

"We are sensing a disturbing pattern when it comes to the company Barack Obama keeps," said Todd Zirkle, executive director of the Freedom's Defense Fund.  "Rezko is among Senator Obama's longest and largest political contributors and faces a sentence of life in prison. You can learn a lot about a man by the company he keeps."

The Freedom's Defense Fund will be running the Rezko ad as part of their on-going media buy in battleground Macomb County. To date, FDF has invested roughly $60,000 in this advertising campaign.

"Our contributors are concerned about Barack Obama's judgment and his ability to lead our great nation," concluded Zirkle. "We will continue to purchase time as our donors allow and resources permit."
