Hillary Clinton TV Ad “Every Child”

In New Ad, Clinton Commits to Fight for ‘Every Child’
 
In her newest TV ad, Hillary Clinton commits to fight for “Every Child” to have the same opportunities as her new granddaughter Charlotte. In “Every Child,” Clinton says “you should not have to be the grandchild of a former President to know that you can make it in America.”
 
Instead of entering a private law firm after law school, Clinton started her career knocking doors for the Children’s Defense Fund and has made her entire career about fighting for women and children. This new ad will run in rotation along with the “Stretched” ad released last week.
 
The two ads together echo the theme of Clinton’s campaign – to restore the basic bargain in America and fight for the rights of every American. The 30-second spots continue our ad campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire. “Every Child” features Clinton speaking direct-to-camera at a campaign rally.

Jeb Bush 2016 TV Ad "I've Delivered"

Unintimidated PAC (Supporting Scott Walker) Releases First Super PAC TV Ad "Fight & Win"

Unintimidated PAC (Supporting Scott Walker) Releases First Super PAC TV Ad "Fight & Win"
Walker's Strong Record of Conservative Reforms the Focus of First Super PAC Ad

Madison, WI – Unintimidated PAC, the leading independent organization supporting Governor Scott Walker’s candidacy for President, today released its first paid television advertisement entitled, "Fight & Win." The sixty-second advertisement will begin airing in all major Iowa television markets on Tuesday, September 8.
 
In early August, Unintimidated PAC announced that it had reserved more than $7 million in television time in Iowa from September 8 through February 1, 2016 (the day of the Iowa Caucus). Last evening, it was reported that Unintimidated PAC reserved more than $9 million for advertising in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada - expanding the electoral map to all of the February primary and caucus states.

“Governor Walker is known for taking on the big government union bosses and liberal special interests, but it’s his results of turning deficits into surpluses, returning surpluses to taxpayers with billions in tax cuts, expanding school choice, and fighting to make government unions pay their fair share like the rest of us that separate him from other candidates," said Brad Dayspring, a Senior Advisor to the Pro-Walker Super PAC. "Republican voters looking for a conservative who not only fights but wins these battles even in the toughest circumstances will find their candidate in Governor Walker, whose record of conservative accomplishments resonates in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and beyond.”

See I’m pro-life. And I believe that every life is precious.
Not only for the baby in the womb, we need to be pro-life for the 16 year old drug addict who’s laying on the floor of the county jail.
And so that’s why I so firmly believe that the way to really win the war on drugs is to treat the addict. For those whose lives we have a chance to save I want us to try and save those lives.
Because I believe that every one of those lives is a precious gift from God and it’s not up to us to decide when that life ends.

Hillary Clinton 2016 Presidential Campaign TV Ad “Reshuffle Deck”

In Next TV Ad, Clinton Pledges to 'Reshuffle Deck' In Favor of Hard-Working Americans
30-Second Spot Will Enter Rotation in NH and Iowa as Part of Previously Announced Ad Buy
 
Noting that American CEOs earn 300 times the salary of the typical worker, Hillary Clinton vows to "reshuffle" the deck on behalf of everyday Americans in a new television ad set to begin airing this week.
 
Invoking her own family's story -- and how her mother, despite never attending college herself, was able to see her daughter graduate from law school -- Clinton says she wants to build an economy that rewards hard-working Americans "so being middle class means something again."
 
"The deck is stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton says in her campaign's new ad.
 
"We need to have people believing that their work will be rewarded. So I'm going to do everything I can to get that deck reshuffled," she adds.
 
The ad's message echoes a major theme of Clinton's campaign. In a key policy speech delivered last month in New York, Clinton declared that increasing middle-class incomes was the defining economic challenge of our time, and would be her chief pursuit as president.
 
The 30-second spot, entitled "Reshuffle," will hit the airwaves this week in Iowa and New Hampshire as part of the campaign's opening, five-week ad buy, which was first announced last month. It features Clinton speaking direct-to-camera, interspersed with archival photos of Clinton's family and footage of her interacting with workers at their jobsites.
 
Below is a script of "Reshuffle."
 
Hillary Clinton:
 
“When you see that you’ve got CEOs making 300 times what the average worker’s making you know the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top.
 
“I want it to be back where it was when I came of age. Where my mom who never got to go to college could see her daughter go to law school.
 
We need to have people believing that their work will be rewarded. So I’m going to be doing everything I can to try to get that deck reshuffled so being middle class means something again.”

Opportunity and Freedom PAC Released a New Ad Today, "Best Defense."

"Unlike some of the other governors running for president, Governor Perry blocked Obamacare expansion, saving taxpayers $27 billion over 10 years," said Opportunity and Freedom PAC spokesman Jordan Russell.

"When Washington abandoned its constitutional responsibility to secure our nation's southern border, Governor Perry sent in the Texas National Guard to stop the crisis.

"Throughout his tenure as governor, Rick Perry led the fight against Washington's intrusions and failures. Texas thrived as a result. Rick Perry in the White House is America's best defense against Washington's constant overreach."
