LIEBERMAN LAUNCHES NEW N.H. AD ON MAKING THE AMERICAN DREAM A REALITY
MANCHESTER, NH -- Joe Lieberman unveiled a new New Hampshire television ad today which describes his family's journey to America to live the American Dream, and Lieberman's vow to make that dream a reality again for New Hampshire residents and millions of Americans who are struggling under George Bush?s leadership.
His grandparents came to this country full of the dream of America. But they never dreamed this big, the ad says. He was the first in his family to go to college. As a young man he joined the fight for civil rights. As Attorney General, Joe Lieberman stood up for women's rights and prosecuted polluters. He spent 30 years working to open the doors of opportunity for others.
The 60-second ad touts Lieberman's plan to ease the squeeze on middle class families, including his proposals to cut taxes for 98 percent of taxpayers, make health care more affordable, and provide four weeks of paid family and medical leave.
I love America, but I hate the direction in which George Bush is taking us, Lieberman says in the ad. I'm going to bring the American Dream back alive because this is about the future of the greatest country in the world.
The ad, entitled I Love America, can be viewed online at joe2004.
