"A Shared Humanity" +
:30 TV ad from June 20, 2018 run in DC and in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets in Iowa.
[Music]
Delaney: One of my
grandfathers came to this country when he was a little boy in 1923 with
his brothers and sisters, but he’s detained because he has one arm.
His family got an appeal, and the judge walks in.
And my
grandfather saw that the judge had one arm, and he used to tell this
story around the Thanksgiving table, “That’s
when I knew I would be an American.”
Male Announcer:
Ninety-five years ago an act of shared humanity kept a family together.
If it seems like we've lost that lately, maybe it's time to get it
back.
Delaney (voiceover):
I'm
John
Delaney
and
I
approve
this
message.
Notes: From the June 20 press
release...
