The Real Elsa Prince at James Dobson’s FRC Grand OpeningPrince’s son is far more famous than she; Erik Prince is the founder and head of Blackwater, the private security firm that has a $500 million annual contract with the US Government to provide private armies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Erik Prince appeared before Congress last year, which concluded that Blackwater was, “…staffed with reckless, shoot-first guards who were not always sober and did not always stop to see who or what was hit by their bullets.” [New York Times, October 1, 2007]
The Californians against Hate commercial features the innocence of Elsa's young grandson bewildered by his grandmother's mega contribution to Yes on 8. It is very similar to "Daisy Girl - 2008" http://current.com/items/89364765_daisy_girl_2008
which stars San Diegan Terry Caster whose family gave $293,000 to Yes on 8. Both commercials are patterned after President Lyndon Johnson's famous ad "Daisy Girl -1964" with a little girl, a daisy and a nuclear bomb explosion. That is arguably the most famous political commercial in American history. http://electioncenter.military.com/2008/06/lyndon-johnsons.html
