andy harris launches final ad blitz



Andy Harris Launches Final Ad Blitz

Annapolis - Today, Andy Harris launched his final television ad of the

campaign. This ad comes on the heels of a positive economic television

ad in which Andy outlined his vision for how to improve our ailing

economy.

The new ad features individual voters from the district who have

decided Wayne Gilchrest no longer represents their values.

"Republicans throughout the district agree that Wayne Gilchrest no

longer shares their values." said Chris Meekins, Campaign Manager for

Harris for Congress. The individuals in the ad point out Gilchrest

liberal fiscal record in Washington.

Former Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich closes the ad with "I'm

supporting Andy Harris. He's the true conservative in this race." This

is the first advertisement in which Governor Ehrlich has been used by

the Andy Harris campaign. In the most poignant line in the ad a young

mother says, "He supports funding for abortion," then a purple heart

World War II veteran who was a prisoner of war in Germany says, "but

not for our troops."

The campaign did a sizeable buy. "By the end of this campaign, every

voter will have seen this ad that draws a stark contrast between

conservative Andy Harris and liberal Wayne Gilchrest," said Chris

Meekins.

"We sent Wayne to change Washington, but Washington changed Wayne"

Meekins added. "Now we need to change congressman."

Script for the Ad (Each line is spoken by a different person)

Wayne's Changed

He Changed, he won't get my vote

Not this time

He's liberal

Too Liberal

Too Liberal

He might as well be a Democrat

He votes for big spending

Big tax and spender

Tax and spend, tax and spendspend and tax

That's all he does, tax and spend

Taxes are killing us

He's been in Washington way too long

18 years

Money for abortions

But not for our troops

I can't support him this time

I can't vote for him again

He doesn't believe in the Republican Party, we need someone who does
