New Barack Obama Minnesota Television Ad, "Join"

Obama for Minnesota Launches Statewide Ad Buy

ST. PAUL – The Obama for Minnesota campaign today launched introductory statewide television and radio ads. The ads will educate Minnesotans about the Feb. 5 caucuses and let them learn more about Obama’s vision for bringing change we can believe in.

“Minnesotans see that Barack Obama is the one leader with a plan to turn around our struggling economy and make sure we have good jobs that pay a living wage, the strength to end this war in Iraq, and the ability to bring universal health care to every American,” Obama Campaign Minnesota Co-Chair Rep. Betty McCollum said. “These television and radio spots demonstrate the Obama campaign’s commitment to Minnesota and will give Minnesotans a chance to learn more about Barack Obama and the caucuses on February 5.”

The ads complement Obama’s aggressive grassroots organizing that began in October.

Thus far, the campaign has recruited approximately 600 volunteers who have logged approximately 4,000 volunteer hours. The campaign has opened seven offices and engaged 45,000 Minnesotans in conversations about Barack Obama’s vision for bringing real change and restoring our standing in the world.  The Obama campaign was the first to open an office in Minnesota and the first to air television and radio ads.
