Today John McCain will be in Ohio trying to reinvent his 25 years in Washington. But the truth is that McCain’s policies on the foreclosure crisis, trade deals and taxes will hurt Ohio big time.
But we’re not giving McCain an inch. Today, the ODP is launching a new radio ad in the Youngstown area and across Southeast Ohio.
The 60-second radio spot titled "More of the Same" highlights John McCain's positions on core middle class issues like jobs, trade, taxes and the housing crisis and how he abandons middle-class families. It is the first broadcast ad against McCain of any State Party in the country.
Listen to the ad after the break.
This is a serious ad buy: 11 counties with high percentages of "turn around voters" who voted for Bush in 2004 and then Democrats in 2006. What’s more, we are reaching out beyond core Democratic areas by targeting country, Christian, and news talk radio formats.
John McCain claims to have big ideas – but what ideas is he bragging about? His big idea for workers is more unfair trade deals that send good jobs overseas. His big idea for homeowners is to skip the family vacation and get a second job to pay the bank. And his big idea for taxpayers - more big tax breaks for the very rich- all while McCain opposes overtime pay for workers.
We cannot wait until we have a nominee – and let McCain’s spin machine fool Ohioans – we need to act now. With your help we can make sure every Ohio voter hears the truth about McCain.
We need your help to keep this ad on the air - donate today and help us broadcast this ad far and wide.
