"DOESN'T MAKE SENSE"-Aberdeen Version 60-second radio ad
Woman:  It just doesn't make sense.
Man:  The Senate is stalled. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle's stimulus plan spent too much and gave back too little and was recently defeated.
Woman:  This weekend? Tom Daschle went to Mexico.
Man:  That's right. Mexico.
Woman:   While relations with Mexico are important, Congressional Quarterly characterizes the trip aspurely political.
Man:  It just doesn't make sense when our priority is jump-starting America's economy.
Woman:  Right now, the President is supporting a plan that will do just that.
Man:  A plan that speeds up tax cuts for families.
Woman:  A plan that expands tax relief for businesses so they can invest - save and create jobs.
Man:  And a plan that extends benefits to those who lost their jobs as a result of the tragic events of September 11th.
Woman:  Call Senator Daschle at (605) 225-8823.
Man:  And tell him, that while a weekend in Mexico might be a break from the task at hand, it's time to pass the bipartisan stimulus package called for by the President.
Woman:  Now that makes sense.
Man:  Paid for by the Tax Relief Coalition.

"BEFORE CHRISTMAS"-Aberdeen version  60-second radio ad
Male Announcer:  An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll reports by a 2 to 1 margin Americans support the President's plan to get the economy moving.  And while a bipartisan majority in the Senate agrees, Senator Daschle still stands in the way.  Recently he changed the rules and now wants a super majority before any bill passes.  Some reports question whether Senator Daschle wants any stimulus bill to pass, and whether he wants to use the economy as a campaign issue.  Former Clinton advisor James Carville calls the current downturn "a moment of opportunity."  A moment of opportunity?  That's just wrong.  President George W. Bush.
Bush (excerpt from radio address):  Democrats and Republicans set aside partisan politics to arrive at this agreement.  They want to get something done for America's workers.  We believe this agreement has enough votes to be approved by the United States Senate and I'm ready to sign it into law, but first the Senate leader must schedule a vote.
Male Announcer:  Call Senator Daschle at 605 225-8823, and tell him time is running out.  Before Christmas pass the President's stimulus package.  Paid for by the Tax Relief Coalition.
 

Tax Relief Coalition (??Feb. 22, 2002)
60-second radio ad
Man:  October 3 - President Bush proposes a package of tax cuts and economic incentives to help our struggling economy.
Woman:  October 24 - the House of Representatives passes the President's plan.
Man:  Today - months later, the Senate under Majority Leader Tom Daschle, still hasn't passed a stimulus plan.
Woman:  But instead of working on the plan, Senator Daschle was planning a political fundraising tour. He was forced to cancel on Meet the Press.
Man:  Clinton advisor James Carville instructs Democrats to use the economy as a campaign issue.
Woman:  Another former Clinton advisor, Dick Morris writes, "Democrats don't want any stimulus package to pass because they don't really want the recession to end."
Man:  The President's plan extends unemployment compensation for those hit hardest by the events of September 11th; offers Medicaid to workers in need and it speeds up tax relief for many families. The plan also helps restore economic growth and gets Americans back to work.
Woman:  Call Senator Daschle at (605) 225-8823 and tell him to put politics aside and pass the President's stimulus package.
Man:  Paid for by the Tax Relief Coalition.

“NO RELIEF”-Aberdeen Version
60-second radio ad
Woman:  Democratic Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana believes it is needed.
Man:  Democratic Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad of North Dakota wants it, too.
Woman:  Even former President Clinton’s budget director Leon Panetta thinks it would be helpful.
Man:  What are they all calling for?
Woman:  A much needed stimulus package to help our fragile economy recover, lower the tax burden on small businesses and families and aid those suffering from unemployment.
Man:  But despite pleas from both Democrats and Republicans, Senator Tom Daschle has pulled consideration of a stimulus plan from the Senate floor.
Woman:  That’s right, he pulled it.  No final vote – yea or nay, up or down.
Man:  And no relief to millions who are feeling the effect of a sluggish economy.  Call Senator Daschle at (605) 225-8823 and tell him to listen to his fellow ranking Democrats who want to help get America moving again.
Woman:  It’s time for him to put partisanship aside
Man:  ...and re-schedule debate in the Senate on a stimulus plan.  It’s the right thing to do for South Dakota
Woman:  It’s the right thing to do for America.
Man:  Paid for by the Tax Relief Coalition.
 

American Renewal/Family Research Council (Feb. 22, 2002)
Woman:  Honey, did you see the story about the Daschle detainees?
Man:  I think you mean the Taliban detainees, dear.
Woman:  No, I mean the Daschle detainees. Eight federal judges President Bush nominated last May.
Man:  Last May?
Woman:  That's right. And not one of them has been given a vote!
Man:  No wonder they're called the Daschle detainees.
Woman:  I thought Tom Daschle said he's working with President Bush.
Man:  I guess the South Dakota Daschle and the Washington Daschle are two different guys.
Woman:  I'm going to call Senator Daschle and tell him to stop blocking President Bush's judges.
Announcer:  Call Tom Daschle. Tell him to stop playing politics with our courts.

"DASCHLE-CONRAD BUDGET"-Aberdeen version
60-second radio ad
Woman:  Last year President Bush kept his campaign promise.
Man:  With bipartisan support in Congress President Bush cut taxes 1.3 trillion dollars over the next decade, giving much-needed relief to families with children, small businesses, farmers and ranchers.
Woman:  But in the federal budget for the next fiscal year Senators Tom Daschle and Kent Conrad are effectively revoking the Bush tax relief.
Man:  By refusing to make the President's tax cut permanent, the Daschle-Conrad budget raises taxes.  For example if the new lowest tax bracket is not made permanent it will mean a 50 percent increase on working Americans.  Plain and simple the Daschle-Conrad budget increases spending while not identifying a single spending cut.  Not one.
Woman:  Senator Daschle said he was very proud of Senator Conrad's budget, but American taxpayers are not.
Man:  Call Senator Tom Daschle at 225 8823.  Tell him to tell Senator Conrad to hold the line on spending.  And the tax cut?  Don't touch it.
Woman:  Paid for by the Tax Relief Coalition and the Fiscal Responsibility Coalition.

"SOUTH DAKOTA SAYS NO TO HUMAN EMBRYO FARMS" 60-second radio ad
Narrator:  This is an urgent message from National Right to Life.
Man:  Look! The South Dakota legislature passed a resolution to urge a federal ban on the cloning of human embryos. It passed 32-1 in the state senate and 63 to 4 in the state house!
Woman:  I saw that! Nearly every Republican and every Democrat agreed! They urged the U.S. Senate to pass the Brownback bill to ban the cloning of human embryos.
Man:  Yes! The U.S. House already passed that bill, with Congressman Thune’s support, and President Bush supports it. So now the only obstacle is the U.S. Senate.
Woman:  So what do Senators Johnson and Daschle say?
Man:  They’re still undecided. They might even vote for a competing bill that would allow human embryos to be created for the purpose of killing them in experiments.
Woman:  You mean our senators might vote to allow human embryo farms to open for profit? I’m going to call their offices today!
Narrator:  Please call toll free, Senator Johnson at 1-800-537-0025, and Senator Daschle at 1-800-424-9094. Urge
them to vote for the Brownback bill to ban the cloning of human embryos.
 

South Dakota Right to Life (May 9, 2002)
"DOES TIM JOHNSON FAVOR HARVESTING HUMAN CLONES?" 60-second radio ad
Narrator:  A message from South Dakota Right to Life.
Man:  Honey, when I read about what the biotech industry wants to do with human cloning, it makes me sick. They want to clone thousands of human embryos, and then kill them for their parts.
Woman:  It' s terrible! That' s why President Bush urged the Senate to pass the Brownback bill, to ban the cloning of human embryos. The House already passed it, with Congressman Thune's support. But Senator Daschle is opposed, so it might not pass.
Man:  Daschle wants human cloning?!
Woman:  He SAYS not, but really he'd allow biotech firms to clone all the human embryos they want -- if they make sure every embryo dies while they' re still small!
Man:  Clone them just to kill them? That' s awful. What about Tim Johnson?
Woman:  That Johnson! He recently cosponsored a really weird bill that could allow human clones to be grown for months before being killed to harvest their parts.
Man:  What next! Don' t these guys understand that humans are more than just animals?
Narrator:  President Bush, Congressman Thune, and 95% of the state legislature support a ban on the cloning ofhuman embryos. Urge Senators Johnson and Daschle to listen and to support the ONLY bill that REALLY bans human cloning -- the Brownback bill.
