American Crossroads, Where will Lee Fisher take our economy? Just look behind you VIDEO

Text Transcript:

Narrator: "Where will Lee Fisher take our economy? Just look behind you. Fisher served as Gov. Strickland's top official on job creation, yet Ohio has lost almost 400,000 jobs. And Fisher wanted a $1.1 billion tax increase, which could have driven countless jobs out of state. Fisher even supported Obama's stimulus that failed to create jobs. Ohio can't afford to keep looking back. American Crossroads is responsible for the content of this advertising."

WASHINGTON – American Crossroads, the new conservative 527 campaign organization, today launched a new TV ad in the Ohio Senate race between Republican Rob Portman and liberal Democrat Lee Fisher.

As the key battleground state in the last three presidential elections, Ohio’s senate race has become one of the most watched and anticipated in the 2010 midterm elections. Despite the “stimulus” legislation passed in early 2009, the state has lost more than 400,000 jobs, making jobs and the economy the key issue in the race to succeed retiring Sen. George Voinivich.

“Ohio voters face a crossroads in the 2010 elections, between Rob Portman’s path of job creation, low taxes and restrained government spending, and liberal Lee Fisher’s path of big-government bailouts and deficits,” said American Crossroads communications director Jonathan Collegio. “With 400,000 plus jobs lost in the last two years, Ohioans know well where the Obama-Fisher policies lead: unemployment, out of control spending and record debt.”

American Crossroads is a non-profit 527 political organization dedicated to renewing America’s commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free enterprise and a strong national defense through informed and effective political action.

Rob Portman Statement on Wall Street reform

Uploaded on July 8, 2010 by RobPortman All rights reserved

Rob Portman Statement on Another Missed Opportunity for Real Reform COLUMBUS, OH – U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman today issued the following statement regarding Democrats’ financial regulatory legislation that is another missed opportumity for real reforms to help put Ohio and the nation back on the right economic track:

“Wall Street reform is badly needed, but just like we saw during the debate regarding the healthcare bill, Washington missed an opportunity for real, balanced reform by passing partisan legislation that does not deal with the underlying problems. The financial regulation reform legislation does nothing to end ‘too big to fail,’ ignores the deep problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that were a catalyst for the financial crisis, and makes it even harder for Ohio small businesses to get loans from community banks and other lenders. This will make it harder, not easier, to create jobs and get our Ohio economy back on its feet. Congress had a chance to address a root cause of our economic downturn – the mortgage meltdown, do away with the bailout mentality that has taken hold, and help small businesses. Unfortunately, political gamesmanship got in the way.”
