Club for Growth Release New TV Ad in Rhode Island

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Club for Growth announced a new ad campaign designed to educate Rhode Islanders about the real record of Sen. Lincoln Chafee and to increase the pressure on him to support pro-growth policies. The six-figure TV, radio, and cable buy begins today.

"We are not surprised that Sen. Lincoln Chafee has chosen to distort Steve Laffey's record of fiscal responsibility with his new TV ads," said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth. "Our new ads will help correct the record so that Rhode Islanders will have the facts, not the Chafee distortions. We are not surprised that he hides his true record of favoring massive increases in taxes and spending. We call on Rhode Islanders to urge Sen. Chafee to stop the distortions and to end his fiscal hypocrisy."

Here is the script for the TV ad:

Would you buy a cheap watch from this guy? / Then don't buy a cheap attack from this guy. / The truth is Steve Laffey's lowering taxes and he's cut millions in spending and waste in Cranston. / Lincoln Chafee? / He voted for $1.3 trillion in higher taxes. / Higher income taxes and capital gains taxes. / Chafee's one of the Senate's biggest spenders. / He even backed $200 million for that "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska. / Tell Lincoln Chafee he's too liberal with your taxes.
