We'll vote for Obama
For airing Oct. "08 - first draft
Here we need a middle aged white male prison inmate with verifiable circumstances to match the ad specifics.
"I am 44 years old and doing pretty good for myself, not perfect, but OK if you consider the important things in life. I have a large family - 4 sons and 2 daughters with two different women. We all have a roof, three squares and a little left over for fun each week. And none of us has ever had to work a day in our lives -(if you don't count the 6 months my first wife spent at McDonalds - someone explained to her she wasn't making a living wage so she quit and has done alright every since.).
My cellmate helped me figure out how much my family gets from the Government each year. If you count what they spend on me in here, together with food stamps, dependent children allotment, welfare and housing assistance; then me and mine get over $110,000 per year. I know plenty of families that work like dogs, never have any fun, and still don't make half what we do.
The problem is, I'm getting out of here next year and will have to start providing for myself then. I would go back to my second wife and have a couple more kids. She is all for the extra income but her Doc says she has something wrong and can't have more kids. I'll probably have to find a new woman and start over and its pretty tough til you get two or three kids to add to the draw. Obama has promised to help us less fortunate in exactly that situation so we'll try to get him elected. Of course I can't vote, but all my familiy members can and I'll make sure they vote for Obama." ww

We must find a white, retired female school teacher with a rather specific retirement income source. Annual retirement income of 30 to 40K from a combination of SS/retirement plan and some energy stock holdings. Grey haired, sweet looking and honest sounding of course! Her circumstances must be carefully verified, of course.
"I am a retired school teacher with an annual income of about 40,000 a year from my retirement plan and the sale of a few stocks. I am financially comfortable, but must, of course watch what I spend. I'm scrimping this year to save for an airline ticket to go see my grandkids at Christmas. I'm excited!!
But now the financial advisor from my union is telling me not to plan on any extra expenditures at all. He says Obama has promised to tax energy profits which will reduce my annual dividends, and worse, has promised to more than double the capital gains taxes on the stock I sell each year. If Obama is elected, I will be looking at more than 3,000 in additional taxes each year. That's about 5 times the cost of the airline tickets I'm saving for . I don't understand why my union is recommendating that we vote for this guy.
I have worked hard all my life, never taken a penny from the federal government, and always voted Democrat. But this year my party is forcing me to vote for someone other than their nominee". ww
