Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS group has issued a news release saying it is hitting Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. with another attack ad. The news release is printed below:
Today, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS) launched a new issue advocacy TV spot in Missouri focusing on Sen. Claire McCaskill over the issue of excessive government spending and debt. The effort is part of a nationwide effort begun in June by Crossroads GPS to frame the national issues debate as Congress prepares to vote on raising the debt limit.
The ad, entitled “Change,” features interviews with some of the senator’s local Missouri constituents, and will run on broadcast TV stations and with targeted internet advertising through August 6. Total spending on the Missouri effort is more than $240,000. The spot can be viewed here.
“President Obama has made it clear that he wants to raise taxes in these debt negotiations, which will cost jobs and send the economy further into a tailspin,” said Crossroads GPS communications director Jonathan Collegio. “Claire McCaskill has a record of zealously supporting the president’s failed policies, all while she talks like a fiscal conservative when she tours the state. The senator needs to hear from Missourians that handing over a blank check to Barack Obama is not a responsible way to fix the country’s fiscal problems.”
The new Missouri spot is part of a $20 million advocacy campaign begun in June by Crossroads GPS to frame the national issues debate on the economy and national debt, as Congress negotiates a deal with President Obama. New spots with more than $1.6 million in advertising buys and production begin running today in five states.
Crossroads GPS is a policy and grassroots advocacy organization that is committed to educating, equipping and mobilizing millions of American citizens to take action on the critical economic and legislative issues that will shape our nation’s future in the years ahead.
