UAW Spends Millions On Pro-Obama Ads In Battleground States - 10/10/08With just 25 days before the Presidential election the United Auto Workers have sunk $3 million behind a series of campaign ads targeting Senator John McCain. Jesse Russell reports: The United Auto Workers have launched a $3 million ad campaign taking on the policies of Republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain. The series of ads feature UAW members talking about the state of working families and how little faith they have the Arizona Senator. One ad features Nicole Lowe who is an assembler at a Warren, Michigan Chrylser plant. In the ad Lowe says she is worried about what the taxes McCain is proposing for employer health care plans could mean for her family. [Lowe]: We’d have to pay up to $2800 a year. That’s gas money, grocery money, my company could pay higher taxes, too. They could just walk away from healthcare. The second ad features Joel Blatchford who says he has watched jobs slip away under the Bush administration and he is concerned a McCain Administration would repeat the same job shedding mistakes. [Blatchford]: Friends of mine, they’re losing their jobs, losing their homes. John McCain? I don’t think he gets it. The ads are set to play in the battleground states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. UAW | Posted 10/09/2008 - 5:53pm | 546 reads
