Just saw Ron Reagan's ad for Freedom From Religion on CNN [View all]

An ad recorded by Ron Reagan inviting viewers to join the Freedom From Religion Foundation is airing for the first time on the nation's most prominent news commentary shows.

"Morning Joe" and the "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC are running the ad through March 12. The 30-second spot is also returning to CNN during the same time period.

I rarely watch cable news so I don't know how often it's been aired. It was a pleasant surprise!

Apparently the holy ones over at CBN are calling for a boycott of CNN and MSNBC for airing it.

And Ron's brother thinks their Dad is crying in heaven over it.
