Today's Influence Ads: MEK Supporters and Salt's Benefits

The National Association of Iranian Academics in Britain has a new ad calling upon the United States and the United Nations to ensure better treatment of Iranian dissidents, members of Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK), in Iraq's Camp Ashraf. This ad follows reports on the well-financed advocacy effort undertaken by influential supporters of the MEK, an Iranian exile group which is still a designated terrorist group.

The Salt Institute's new ad extols the virtues of salt, including how doctors in emergency rooms use saline drips, and Boeing's new ad about its CH-47F Chinook.

Fair Girls has a new ad today for a petition to get Village Voice Media to stop running ads for sex with girls on backpage.com.

Per Kantar Media's Washington Eye, those with continuing ads include: Altria, American Beverage Association, Finmeccanica, Honda, Insitu, Lockheed Martin, Mars Chocolate, Molina Healthcare, National Journal, News Channel 8, Northrop Grumman, Ogilvy, Politico, Society for Human Resource Managament, United Technologies, Washington Kastles Charity Classic, Wellpoint, WETA-TV and WTOP.
