Casey Knowles

Casey Knowles (of Bonney Lake, Washington, USA) rose to fame after stock video shot when she was nine was used in a Hillary Clinton advertisement, dubbed the "Red Phone Ad." [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAGsr1698gs News report on YouTube] ] She first became aware of this use when she saw the ad being lampooned on "The Daily Show" by Jon Stewart. [Ibanga, Imayen, "3 A.M. Girl Wants Obama to Answer Call", "Good Morning America", ABC News, 9 Mar 2008 [http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=4416390&page=1] ] [Hahn, Elisa, "Local Obama supporter shocked to see herself in Hillary ad", "KING 5", Seattle, Wash., 8 Mar 2008 [http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_030708WAB_hillary_ad_KC.328ab14f.html] ]

Casey Knowles was "irritated" that her likeness was used to advocate for Hillary Clinton's campaign, as she is an "avid Barack Obama" supporter. She is a precinct captain for Barack Obama and on March 20th, created a counter-ad stating that Casey "rejects the politics of fear that Senator Clinton uses to drum up votes." [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXmYVRIpu2w Counter-ad on YouTube] ] Her 18th birthday was in April, 2008, but she caucused in the Washington caucus for Barack Obama because Washington permits seventeen year olds to caucus if they'll be eighteen by election day.
