Madison, Wis. – Building on the growing momentum behind Senator Barack Obama’s campaign, Governor Jim Doyle today announced that the campaign is launching a statewide ad campaign on TV and radio.
“Barack Obama showed on Super Tuesday that he can win the support of Americans of every race and gender in every region of the country – and lead our party to victory,” Doyle said. “As the eyes of the nation turn to Wisconsin, we are working hard to build on his tremendous grassroots support and highlight his message of change. Wisconsin voters will get to see for themselves that Barack Obama is the candidate who can bring our country together to confront the great challenges we face at home and in the world.
The first Wisconsin radio and TV ads start today and will run statewide. They focus on Senator Obama’s commitment to ending the war in Iraq, solving the crisis of global warming, restoring America’s credibility in the world, and bringing this country together. They highlight the tremendous promise and possibility that he’ll bring to the presidency.
In the coming days, the campaign will be releasing additional ads to continue to help people in Wisconsin continue to get to know Senator Obama, what he stands for, and the change he represents.
Script of “Join” (30 second TV spot):
“I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message. We want an end to this war and we want diplomacy and peace. Not only can we save the environment, we can create jobs and opportunity. We’re tired of fear; we’re tired of division. We want something new. We want to turn the page. The world as it is, is not the world as it has to be.”
