Fans can email him at: [email protected]http://www.wftv.com/news/16879991/detail.htmlThe man behind the billboard is Mike Meehan, a St. Cloud businessman and musician. His website advertises a CD and music video titled "The Republican Song," with the chorus, "Don't vote for a Democrat." He's selling CDs for $5.
"This is a blatant exploitation of that terrible tragedy for political and, perhaps even worse, personal gain," said Bill Robinson, Orange County Democratic Party Chair.
Orange County Democrats are calling for the billboard to come down and the local Republican Party has said the ad is "inappropriate." Meehan hadn't returned Channel 9 calls or e-mails Monday afternoon, but some are defending his right to free speech.
"They can have their opinion. It's a free country, if they want to pay for the ad. I'm sure it's expensive," resident Louis Champeau told Eyewitness News.
The company that owns the billboard, Beech Outdoor Advertising, views it as a fundamental first amendment issue and for that reason wouldn't censor the ad. The billboard will be up until after the November election.
Beech Outdoor Advertising declined to say how much the billboard costs to rent.http://www.therepublicansong.com/about.htmlThe Republican Song
Lyrics
The Democrat secular progressive move, political correctness is killing us too. They want to take the money from the hard workin man, and give it to the lazy folks that don't give a damn.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals, shame on you, don't punish us all just to please a few, Your holdin people back while we're pickin up the slack, and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat. Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no... Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, nooo... Yeah, your holding people back, while we're pickin up the tax, Oh no, no please don't vote for a Democrat.
Now we're trying to win a war and wipe out the terrorists, We're not fightin for oil we got plenty if we drill it. But the liberals and the media are spreading their lies, Get the hell out of our way and let our soldiers fight.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you, don't punish us all just to please a few. No we can't afford to have another attack, and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat. Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no ,no... Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no.. No we can't afford to have another attack, Oh no, please don't vote for a Democrat.
Republicans, we're not perfect but we know the truth We uphold the Constitution and the Golden Rule. We believe a mans freedom is a God given right, the USA is the beacon to the whole world in sight.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you, don't punish us all just to please a few. our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack, and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat. Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no... oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no... Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack, Oh no, please, oh no please, don't vote for a Democrat.
Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack, Oh no, please, oh no please, don't vote for a Democrat.
