[SFX: machinery humming] Male Announcer:  Four years ago, Ohio's economy was humming along, but now Ohio has lost more than 214,000 jobs.  [Humming quiet]  Good jobs are hard to find and thousands of jobs are lost forever.

Today's Monday June 21st.  George Bush is in Ohio again, this time for a million dollar fundraiser.

President Bush, you tell us our economy is back, but where are the 1.2 million jobs that went overseas while you supported tax breaks for the big corporations.

You say your tax cuts for big business make a difference, but what do you say to the 3.8 million Americans who have lost their health care benefits.

The economy may be fine for the people at your fundraiser, but the real way to help families in Ohio is to create jobs that pay a decent wage and provide real health care.

Mr. Bush, by tonight you'll be on your way home; our jobs will still be on their way overseas.

[SFX] Paid for by The Media Fund.
