As Congress Prepares for Recess, CPR Takes National Campaign Local, Targets 14 Senators on Health Reform

By CPR Staff on June 25, 2009 12:34 PM  

Rick Scott: "The President's Town Hall last night continued to hide the real facts about his health care reform efforts - it will cost more than $1 trillion dollars and explode the federal deficit and will put government bureaucrats in charge of our health care decisions."

Washington, D.C. ----- On the heels of the President's town hall meeting last night and as Congress readies to head home for the fourth of July recess, Conservatives for Patients' Rights will focus attention on 14 key U.S. Senators in 11 states by running TV ads in each Senator's home state. They will launch new national ads as well as state specific ads beginning June 29th and continue through the July 4th recess.

The thirty-second spots running both nationally and locally on CNN and Fox News, will augment the existing $1.4 million ad campaign currently running nationally on CNN and Fox News Channel.

One ad includes references to $400 hammers and $600 toilet seats, and makes the point that nothing is ever cheaper when the government gets involved.



The second spot, shot in a doctor's office, portrays a government bureaucrat coming between a patient's relationship with her doctor.



"How we reform health care is a critical debate for the future of our country, and these 14 Senators will play a key role in shaping that debate," said Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients' Rights. "The debate is too important and the outcome will have a significant impact on every American. Our hope is that the voters in each of these 11 states will help hold their respective Senator responsible for protecting the rights of patients to make their own health care choices - and not cede their freedom to politicians and government bureaucrats. We have seen it Britain and Canada, government run health care does not work. It leads to higher costs, less doctor choice, and rationed care," Scott concluded.

Ads will run in Arkansas (Senators Lincoln and Pryor), Colorado (Senator Bennet), Delaware (Senator Carper), Indiana (Senator Bayh), Iowa (Grassley), Louisiana (Senator Landrieu), Maine (Senator Snowe), Montana (Senators Baucus and Tester), Nebraska (Nelson), North Dakota (Senator Conrad) and Virginia (Senators Webb and Warner).
