New Ad Calls on New Yorkers to Send a Message to Wall Street
NEW YORK – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign released a new 30-second spot on Thursday calling on New Yorkers to "send a message to Wall Street banks and the billionaires: enough is enough."
"Nothing will change until we elect candidates who reject Wall Street money," the narrator says.
To rein in Wall Street, Sanders has proposed a plan to break up big banks and regulate financial institutions that is backed by 170 economists and financial experts.
The ad, set to air in New York, details the corrupt political and economic system that firms like Goldman Sachs have cultivated. "It's the art of the steal and it's hiding in plain site. The ultra-rich employ an army of lobbyists to write tax policy to avoid paying their fair share," the ad begins. "It's a part of the corrupt political system that keeps in place a rigged economy where Wall Street buys off elections and stops meaningful oversight."

Ted Cruz for President Launches Radio Ad Targeting Mayor de Blasio in New York
HOUSTON, Texas – Today, the Cruz for President campaign launched a new radio ad, “Nerve,” that will air in New York. The ad responds to recent attacks made by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and highlights Ted Cruz’s commitment to ending soft anti-terror policies, de-funding sanctuary cities, and instructing the Justice Department to hold corrupt politicians accountable.
“Nerve” Radio: 60
ANNOUNCER: Here’s Mayor de Blasio attacking Ted Cruz.
de BLASIO: I think Ted Cruz is out of touch with New York State and New York City.
ANNOUNCER: He’s got a lot of nerve, de Blasio’s socialist policies are tearing this city apart.
Murder is up nearly 10%. He treats cops like criminals and criminals like freedom fighters. De Blasio made New York a sanctuary city, rolling out the red carpet for illegals, and de Blasio ended stop and frisk even where terrorist suspects are known to congregate.
Now, he’s meddling in the Republican primary campaigning against Cruz because when Cruz is President, de Blasio is done.
No more criminal coddling soft on terror policies, no more sanctuary cities and Cruz will instruct the Justice Department to hold corrupt politicians accountable. Maybe that’s why de Blasio fears Ted Cruz. Send de Blasio a message, vote Cruz for President.
