[Airplane SFX]  Female Announcer:  It's Monday June 14th and Air Force One will bring George Bush to the Kansas City area today. 

As the President approaches, his view from 30,000 feet will be magnificent, but he won't see the 89,000 children who have no health care coverage.  [Airplane landing SFX].

As he steps off his jet, a band will play.  ["Hail to the Chief" low in background]

But George Bush won't hear from the nearly 93,000 Missouri seniors who will pay more under his prescription drug plan.  [Car door closing SFX]. 

The President will be rushed to [Siren SFX] his photo op, but he won't stop to hear from the families who are paying an average of $2,700 more for health care. 

He'll say he cares about working families, but the 30,700 jobs lost in Missouri tell a different story.

The President flies [Airplane SFX] home tonight, but he leaves behind a state that is not stronger, safer or better than it was four years ago.

Paid for by The Media Fund.
