The ads include 4 that have previously run in POLITICO, and one new ad titled “Losers of 2010.”
AFF President Sandy Greiner stated, “Our ads tell a story. A story that did not end well for 54 members of Congress in 1994, and it will be the same ending for many liberal members if they continue to ignore the will of the American people by supporting government-run health care. A majority of Americans want Congress to start over on health care legislation and Members of Congress should start listening or else polish up their resumes.”

AFF Launches Statewide Television Ad in Massachusetts
Ad encourages people to call Martha Coakley and tell her they can’t afford more new taxes
(DES MOINES, IA) – Today, American Future Fund released a new statewide television ad demonstrating an issues comparison on taxes between Scott Brown and Martha Coakley, and encourages the people of Massachusetts to call Attorney General Martha Coakley and tell her they can’t afford more new taxes.
A recent Rasmussen poll conducted January 4th cited the top concern for Massachusetts citizens is the cost of government-run health care. A whopping, 54% say they can’t afford more new taxes associated with the proposed healthcare legislation pending in Washington. Both Coakley and Brown are in a position to have a significant impact on this legislation in the next few weeks.
Unfortunately, Martha Coakley is not listening to the people of Massachusetts. Coakley is an outspoken supporter of raising taxes, stating recently in a debate “we need to get taxes up.”
“Martha Coakley should listen to the people of Massachusetts. They, like every other taxpayer, are saying “enough” to more new taxes. We can’t afford it,” said AFF President Sandy Greiner.
Greiner continued, “Americans are tired of their elected officials not listening to them. Now is the time for responsible leadership. Call Martha Coakley and personally tell her you can’t afford more new taxes.”
The American Future Fund ad is running statewide in Massachusetts, including on Boston network television.
