“Deficit Hawk?” Print Ad Targets Sen. Conrad
Senator, don’t undermine your legacy by voting for Government-run health care!
(DES MOINES) – American Future Fund (AFF) unveiled a print ad which is running in The Politico and statewide in North Dakota. “Deficit Hawk?” implores Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota to stand with his record as a self-described deficit hawk and vote against the proposed $900 billion government-run health care bill. The print ad will run in The Politico today and in North Dakota papers over the course of the next week.
“This is the greatest test of Senator Conrad’s leadership and character,” said AFF President Sandy Greiner. “While this legislation is debated, Senator Conrad needs to know North Dakotans can’t afford government-run health care. This will be the signature vote of his career. We implore Senator Conrad to do what’s right and vote against government-run health care.”

AFF Print Ad – “Deficit Hawk?”
Isn’t Senator Conrad Supposed to be a “Deficit Hawk?”
Senator Kent Conrad has a long, admirable record as a deficit hawk. For years, he has advocated for fiscal sanity and smaller deficits, and he has served North Dakota well.
Now, federal spending is totally out of control: trillion dollar stimulus plans, government bailouts of big banks and car companies — and a $1.4 trillion dollar deficit for this year alone. The national debt is scheduled to triple in the next 10 years. It’s a fiscal train wreck.
On top of all this, Congress is considering a new $900 billion health care entitlement, with some estimates saying it could actually cost more than $2 trillion!
America can’t afford it. And North Dakotans can’t afford it.
Senator Conrad: how can you even consider this? You know better.
This is the greatest test of character and leadership of your career.
Will you simply follow the liberal spenders into another financial debacle? Or will you stop Washington from damaging our health care and our economy?
Please don’t undermine your legacy with a series of reckless votes.
Just Vote “NO” on Government-Run Health Care
