Senator Edwards' New Ad Challenges Bush To Values Debate
RALEIGH, NC: Senator John Edwards Wednesday released a new television ad challenging George W. Bush to a debate about values:
"This president says he wants a values debate. We ought to give him a values debate. How about this values debate. We have 41 million people in America with no health insurance. We have twelve million innocent children with no health insurance.
"And I think given a choice between more tax cuts for multi-millionaires and covering innocent children who have no health insurance, the American people will stand where this president won't. They will stand with these kids who need help."
Edwards' health care plan will, for the first time in history, provide health coverage to all children. It will require parents to cover their children and ensure they can pay for it by expanding the Child Health Insurance Program and providing tax credits for low-income families.
"Values" will begin running in Iowa and New Hampshire Wednesday and follows "Strong," a new ad that questions the president's lack of planning and inability to secure international cooperation in Iraq.
