The American People Take On Trump Directly in
Innovative New Tom Steyer Ads Airing on Fox
& Friends
Steyer will also debut another ad this week highlighting his two-year grassroots campaign calling for Trump’s impeachment
(San
Francisco, October 9, 2019) — Presidential
candidate for the Democratic nomination Tom Steyer launched two
new ad campaigns showing there is nothing more powerful
than the unified voices of the American people.
The first ad campaign — “Talk to Trump” —
will air over five days on Fox & Friends, each day
showing a new set of American people raising their voices
and telling Trump exactly what matters most to them, and
how much he has failed them as president. The ads follow
as Steyer’s campaign urged the American
people to submit their videos addressing Trump last week,
as part of an innovative way to give people the power to
talk directly to Trump. The ad campaign points to a larger
focus on Steyer’s presidential bid to give more
power to the American people.
The second ad campaign, “The Right Thing”,
highlights Steyer’s work in the last two years,
vehemently calling for Trump’s impeachment, even when
every candidate for president and career Washington
politicians deemed it too soon because it was politically
inconvenient. Steyer worked and
advocated for what the majority of Americans agree on now
— that this corrupt and lawless president must be held
accountable for his litany of crimes, because it is the
right thing to do. The ad will air in the early primary
and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina,
and Nevada.
“Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our
nation’s history. When I called for his impeachment two
years ago, Washington insiders and every candidate for
president said it was too soon,” Steyer said in the ad.
“I believed then, as I do now, that doing the right thing
was more important than political calculations. And over 8
million people agreed. We proved that there is no
challenge that Americans can’t meet when we work
together.”
For two years, Steyer has called
for Trump’s impeachment and built a grassroots movement of
over 8.3 million supporters. Both ad campaigns follow
Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the House of
Representatives will begin a formal impeachment inquiry
last week.

The Sept. 30, 2019 press release...
New
Tom Steyer Ad Campaign Gives Americans the
Opportunity to Deliver a Message to Donald Trump
Airing on Fox & Friends, the ad will feature video submissions from the American people
(SAN
FRANCISCO,
September
30,
2019)
— Democratic presidential
candidate Tom Steyer has
launched “Talk to Trump,” an
innovative new ad campaign
that gives the American people a chance to submit videos
of themselves directly addressing Donald Trump. Some of
the videos will air as television ads in the coming
weeks on Fox & Friends, a place Trump is likely to see
them. The ad campaign
gives
the
American
public
a
chance to raise their voices and tell Donald Trump exactly
what matters most to them, and how much he has failed them
as president. Steyer’s
grassroots work and his presidential bid have focused on
giving more power to the American people, and this effort
is a new and innovative way to give people the power to
talk directly to Trump.
For two years, Steyer has
called
for
Trump’s
impeachment
and built a grassroots movement of over 8.3 million
supporters. The ad campaign
follows Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the House of
Representatives will begin a formal impeachment
inquiry.
“Trump should know how he’s failed you as president —
whether that’s on health care, a living wage, gun
violence, climate change, or something else entirely,”
wrote Steyer’s
campaign to supporters on Saturday. “It’s time Trump heard
directly from the many, many people around the country who
are hurting and frustrated because of his corrupt and
cruel administration.”
Those interested in submitting videos are encouraged to
record a short 25-second message and upload it directly on
the website or from a mobile device, or email it to talktotrump@tomsteyer.com.
The ad campaign
will
run
in
the
days leading up to the October debate, as Steyer is set to
appear on the debate stage for the first time. Steyer is also well
on his way to making the debate stage in November, already
surpassing the donor threshold requirement and receiving
three qualifying polls in the last week.
