Edwards first Democrat to launch TV ads in South Carolina, with 30-second spot entitled “American Jobs and America’s Workers”
Columbia, South Carolina – The campaign’s first South Carolina television ad, a 30-second spot entitled “American Jobs and America’s Workers” begins airing in South Carolina today. Senator Edwards is the first Democrat to launch a TV ad campaign in South Carolina
In the ad, Senator Edwards explains why we need leaders who stand up and fight for good jobs and working families. The message of the ad makes clear that, while many in corporate America are willing to outsource jobs for “profit and greed,” Edwards believes in “the dignity of a job and doing what’s right for America’s workers.”
The ad comes at a time of increased momentum for Edwards’ South Carolina operation. In addition to recent new endorsements, Senator Edwards leads other Democrats in trips to South Carolina and fundraising in the state. This ad buy further highlights the campaign’s long commitment to Senator Edwards’ native state of South Carolina and the issues and concerns of voters here.
The new ad campaign, “America’s Jobs and America’s Workers,” reflects many of the pro-family policies Senator Edwards highlighted during his two-day swing through the state earlier this month when he focused on smarter trade policies to protect American workers, helping communities recover from massive layoffs, providing true universal health care and helping low-income families find work and join the middle class.
“AMERICA’S JOBS AND AMERICA’S WORKERS” (TV -:30)
My father worked in this mill and others like it for 30 years.
I worked in it when I was young.
Now it’s closed, the jobs are gone. For too many, it’s just about profit and greed.
They’re wrong. It’s about the dignity of a job and doing what’s right for America’s workers.
I’m John Edwards and I approve this message because we don’t need another president that puts wealth above work.
So, if you’re ready to stand with me for American jobs and America’s workers, your time is now.
