Campaign Radio Ad

Brian Zick

Via Kos, The Hotline provides the transcript of a new radio ad for Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy, running against Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH 15). The commercial is only airing on Christian radio stations in the district. ANNCR: What is going on in Washington? Our troops are sent to war without proper body armor, members of Congress like Deborah Pryce gave themselves $30,000 in pay raises while running up the largest deficit in American history. Deborah Pryce's friend Mark Foley is caught using his position to take advantage of 16 year old pages. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert looked the other way when he was warned of Foley's predatory behavior. Deborah Pryce is one of the top Republicans in Congress. No wonder Pryce refused to criticize Hastert for ignoring the Foley problem. No wonder she won't call for Foley to resign. Now Pryce is protecting Hastert, even though he protected a sex predator?. Republican leaders were more concerned about protecting politicians than protecting teenagers. Deborah Pryce is part of the problem in Congress. It's time for change. Kos expects the commercial "will replay, in one form or another, in every congressional district in the country."
