Ad - "Straight Talk" - Governor Dean takes on the President's record and ourlines his own agenda.
The script for the 30-second ad is as follows:
Dean: I'm Howard Dean. It's time for the truth. Because the truth is that George Bush's foreign policy isn't making us safer; his tax cuts are ruining our economy and costing us jobs. Too many Democrats in Washington are afraid to stand up for what we believe in. Well I believe it's time to put our people back to work; to provide health insurance for every American. It's time for Democrats to be Democrats again. That's why I'm running for president. That's why I approved this message. I'm Howard Dean. It's time to take our country back.
The first ad of the 2004 campaign and the first to use the approval tag line mandated by Section 311 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.
