ABOUT REALLY AMERICAN MEDIA:
Really American is a grassroots-funded super political organization established in 2016, with an active presence on multiple social media platforms amounting to over 250 million monthly organic impressions. Really American PAC is known for its efforts to successfully unseat Georgia senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, which included a threefold campaign to produce attack ads that resulted in multiple top national trending hashtags on Twitter, and raise $100,000 in donations to provide Georgia voters with rides to the polls. Really American’s Georgia runoff attack ads were viewed more than 17 million times on Twitter, and videos published during the 2020 general election were viewed over 100 million times. Republican pollster Frank Luntz cited Really American’s widely covered billboard campaign in Georgia to justify his prediction that both Republicans would lose.
