Station suspends ads

LANSING (AP) - A statewide radio network has temporarily pulled radio ads supporting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ronna Romney which suggest some of the ideas of Democratic incumbent Carl Levin are like communism.

Full Circle Broadcasting Inc. of Lansing had been airing the ads on more than 50 of its 70 statewide affiliates, company general manager Jim Rayl said Saturday.

Rayl said the ads will begin airing again after a disclaimer is added that states the ads are not endorsed by the Romney campaign.

A portion of the 60-second ad states: "Ronna is for smaller government. I think big government is like communism. It doesn't work for the average person, so I'm voting for Ronna Romney."

Sources say Levin campaign manager Chuck Wilbur will file a complaint.
