Female Announcer:
Barack
Obama.
President Obama:
We've
achieved
so
much
together these past eight years. Fifteen
million new jobs created. Health care for another 20 million
Americans. And we've cut African-American unemployment in half.
Female Announcer:
That's
a
legacy
we
can all be proud of.
President Obama:
But
it
all
gets
rolled back if we don't stand with Democrats this
election.
Female Announcer:
Right
now,
there's
much
at stake this November 8th. Republicans
have fought President Obama at every turn, and given the chance will
undo all the progress we've made.
Persident Obama:
We
know
the
strength
of America comes from folks of every background,
working together to make our union just a little more perfect.
So get fired up one more time and stand with Democrats up and down
the ballot.
Female Announcer:
We've
fought
too
hard
to go back. Register to vote online at

DNC Launches New Radio Ad
Featuring President Barack Obama
WASHINGTON -- Today the Democratic National Committee
launched
a new radio ad featuring President Barack Obama as part of its
seven-figure advertising blitz targeting communities of color across
the nation.
In the ad titled “Legacy,” President Obama reminds voters
that the
gains we’ve achieved during his administration – including cutting the
unemployment and uninsured rate within the Black community in half –
will be erased if voters don’t stand with Democrats this election.
“President Obama is asking Black voters to stand with
Democrats,
because the Democratic Party is fighting with them to level the playing
field and give every American a fair shot, regardless of their zip code
at birth. Hillary Clinton has been a lifelong champion for equality,
and understands what’s at stake for our communities. Every vote has
value, and we cannot take for granted the power that each and every one
of us holds in this election. We must get out the vote, and we must
elect Democrats up and down the ticket,” said Donna Brazile, Interim
DNC Chair.
Listen to the ad here.
The DNC contracted Burrell Communications Group, an
African-American
owned communications firm, to produce “Legacy” and purchase air time.
“Legacy” will air on nationally syndicated urban radio programs,
including The Steve Harvey Show, The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Keep Hope
Alive with Rev. Jesse Jackson, Keepin’ It Real with Rev. Al Sharpton,
and The D.L. Hughley Show.
