Today's Influence Ads: Hustler Magazine Wants Romney's Tax Returns

Hustler Magazine has a new ad today announcing that the publication and Larry Flynt are offering a cash reward of up to $1 million for information about Mitt Romney's unreleased tax returns, bank accounts and business partnerships. The magazine claims it wants to publish the information.

The International Franchise Association's new ad calls for extending all current tax rates in order to promote job growth; the Bipartisan Policy Center's new ad warns against automatic across-the-board cuts and tax rate increases as a way to deal with America's long-term fiscal situation; and the Renewable Fuels Association's new ad cautions against waiving the Renewable Fuel Standard, claiming that doing so could slightly decrease grocery bills but would increase the amount Americans spend on gasoline.

American College of Rheumatology, American Society for Radiation Oncology, CIT Group, Univision, WellPoint, Women in Government Relations and Zurich also have new ads out today.

Those with continuing ads, per Kantar Media's Washington Eye, include: Altria, American Society For Radiation Oncology, Bell Helicopter & Boeing, BP, Chevron, Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, Musicians On Call, Northrop Grumman, Nuclear Energy Institute, Ogilvy and WTOP.
