(CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 1) "Today we are releasing a new television advertisement that strongly contrasts Barack Obama's record with Alan Keyes' vision, and the choice couldn't be clearer. While Barack Obama takes buckets of money from the trial lawyers, and skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance premiums drive doctors out of the state, Alan Keyes wants to cap trial awards, cut frivolous lawsuits, and make health insurance more accessible and affordable. While Barack Obama supports free trade and votes to raise taxes, Alan Keyes wants to get tough on bad trade agreements and wants to cut taxes. The differences couldn't be clearer: Barack Obama is a man in the pocket of the special interests, while Alan Keyes is fighting for Illinois working families. "As Illinois voters go to the polls tomorrow, this ad will remind them of what's at stake - their own interests. They can vote for higher taxes, or lower taxes; free trade that costs us manufacturing jobs, or fair trade that protects manufacturing jobs; continued lawsuit abuse, or real legal reform; pie-in-the-sky "universal" healthcare, or real health care that's more affordable and accessible." Transcript: "While frivolous lawsuits force our doctors out of Illinois, Barack Obama has taken more money from the trial lawyers than any other Senate candidate. While bad trade agreements cost us tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, Obama says he supports free trade and votes to raise taxes. Alan Keyes will fight to cap lawyers fees and cut frivolous lawsuits. He'll stop trading away our jobs, and ease the tax burden on our working families." Disclaimer: "I'm Alan Keyes, and I approved this message." |
