why aren't we running the following ad in states that haven't expanded Medicaid

Tom Tillis won't expand Medicaid despite it being free to NC for the next few years and we only pay 10% of the cost after that. Pan to an image of downtown Raleigh. The number of people who could have insurance under that expansion is more than the population that Raleigh. Pan to a large crowd of 455 people. This is a crowd of 455 people, that is the least number of people who will die this year as a result of Tom Tillis refusing to expand Medicaid. Picture of 455 corpses laying on the ground, dead. All of the people's deaths will save NC not one single, solitary cent. Not a dime. These are your neighbors, they go to your church. The are old, young, black, white. And Tillis won't lift a finger to save their lives. If he is willing to treat them that way just how do you think he will treat you?

bold is said.

Our ads are far too wishy-washy and don't spell out the real truth of what the Repugs have done and are trying to do to this country. Drives me nuts.

in it's great wisdom, has gone back to the 6-state strategy -- a strategy that has failed them time and again.

It would be for the NC Senate race. It would also work in Louisiana, with New Orleans and different numbers, Georgia, with Atlanta and different numbers, and Alaska with Anchorage and different numbers.
