Edwards Airs New TV Ad On His Detailed Plan To Create And Protect American Jobs
DES MOINES, IA: North Carolina Senator John Edwards today unveiled a new television ad featuring his plan for blocking unfair trade agreements and creating and protecting American jobs. The ad was filmed at a gathering of caucusgoers in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 7.
"Did you know we're in an economic recovery right now? What they call a jobless recovery," said Edwards in the ad, which is currently airing in Iowa. "Where I grew up, if you don't have a job, you don't have a recovery."
"We ought to give tax breaks to American companies who will keep jobs right in America," Edwards continued.
The ad cites Edwards' 96% lifetime rating from the AFL-CIO on issues affecting working families, his commitment to fair trade agreements, and his plan for creating and protecting American jobs.
Edwards' plan to eliminate tax cuts for companies that move jobs overseas and instead give them to those that will create jobs in the United States is detailed in "Real Solutions for America," a 60-page policy book that lays out Edwards' plan to get the country back on track.
The following is the script for the new ad:
