New Ad Highlights Kerry’s Plan to Put Opportunity in the Hands of All Americans
Ad Called "Fought for America" to Run in 17 States
Fought For His Country
Washington, DC - The Kerry Campaign today launched a new ad campaign highlighting John Kerry’s plans to put opportunity into the hands of all Americans. While George W. Bush continues to blanket America with misleading attacks while ignoring the real concerns of average Americans, John Kerry is running his campaign on the real issues facing America, like making health care affordable, improving education and getting our economy back on track. John Kerry knows that as a nation we can do better than the last almost four years, and he has a plan to put the nation back on track and create a better future for America.
The 30-second spot will run in 17 states beginning Tuesday: Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Mexico, Oregon, Wisconsin, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, West Virginia, Arizona, Arkansas, Washington and Ohio.
“For four nearly four years, ordinary Americans have suffered through tremendous job losses, stagnant incomes and explosive increases in health care costs. Americans want a new approach, but George Bush stubbornly refuses to see the problems people are facing in this country each and every day,” said Kerry Campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill. “John Kerry will be a President who recognizes what people are facing and who will do something about it. This ad is the beginning of an effort to communicate John Kerry's positive vision and determination to change the failed policies of the Bush Administration and lead America in a new direction.”
