TRUMP CAMPAIGN NEWSPAPER AD HIGHLIGHTS
DEMOCRATS' PLANS TO KILL OHIO'S ECONOMY
President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign
has taken out a full-page, full-color, local
newspaper advertisement ahead of the
Democrats' debate in Ohio tonight. The
campaign is running an ad in the Columbus
Dispatch contrasting Democrats’ disastrous
plans for America with President Trump’s clear
record of accomplishments.
"Democrats will be on stage promoting their
disastrous brand of big government socialism,
which will kill jobs and the entire Ohio
economy," said Tim Murtaugh, Trump campaign
communications director. "President Trump’s
clear record of growing the economy and
creating more than six million jobs stands in
clear contrast to the Democrats’ calamitous
ideas. Team Trump is here to remind Ohioans
and all Americans what's at stake in 2020."
The newspaper ad is running on the
morning of the fourth wave of Democrat debates
and showcases Democrat calls for the
elimination of private health insurance,
abolishment of the fossil fuel industry,
unnecessary regulations that will slow job
creation, and higher taxes.
The Trump campaign has also already announced
it will employ aerial advertising ahead of
tonight's debate across the city of
Westerville, Ohio from 12:00-3:00pm and
3:45-6:45pm.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Campaign Memo: Tom Steyer's First
Debate
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Heather Hargreaves, Campaign Manager,
Tom Steyer 2020
RE: Tom’s First Debate
DATE: October 14, 2019
Tuesday night will be Tom’s first time on the
debate stage, and he is thrilled to share his
vision for our country’s future. Since Tom
qualified, we’ve gotten a lot of questions
about what to expect when Tom takes the stage
with 11 other candidates. I wanted you to hear
directly from me.
Tomorrow night is not about having a
moment. It’s about building a
movement. Tom’s first goal is to
introduce himself to a national audience and
let them know why he is running for President.
He’s running to end the corporate takeover of
our government and return power back to the
American people. Tom knows if we get that
right, we can finally tackle the climate
crisis and pass our progressive
agenda.
Our strategy is based on the
long-term, not one moment. We look
at Tuesday’s debate as an opportunity for Tom
to introduce himself to a national audience,
not one to “break through” or create a viral
moment. Our resources and strategy allow Tom
to play the long game, and to be competitive
in the early states and on Super Tuesday as
the Democratic field continues to narrow. Our
focus on introducing Tom also means we are not
looking to launch attacks or engage directly
with other candidates. It’s very clear from
the past debates that strategy has backfired
for every candidate who has tried it, and it
reinforces our plan to use Tuesday’s debate as
a platform for introducing Tom and explaining
why he is running.
Tom will highlight what makes
him different from other candidates on
stage. As an outsider, Tom
has a 10-year track record of taking on big
corporations with grassroots coalitions and
winning. He’s taken on the oil companies, the
drug companies, and big tobacco. He’s tackled
climate change, mobilized over a million young
voters, and led a national movement to impeach
the Donald Trump. Tom is the only candidate
who will declare climate change a national
emergency on day one, and use the emergency
powers of the presidency to address it.
He’s proposed significant structural reforms,
including term limits and a national
referendum. Tom also built a successful
international business, which makes him the
Democrat best prepared expose Donald Trump as
a fraud and failure on the economy.
Tom has earned his way onto
the debate stage. Tom’s focus on
the early states has paid off. Just look at
the growth we’ve seen over the last two
CBS
Battleground trackers:
New Hampshire:
4% (+3)
Considering: 17% (+6)
Iowa:
3% (+1)
Considering: 17% (+5)
South Carolina:
2% (+1)
Considering: 16% (+7)
In the
latest
poll out of Nevada, Tom is at
4%.
And in last week’s Morning Consult Poll, Tom
is in 4th place across all 4 early states at
8%.
[graphic]
These critical early states are responding to
Tom because, for over ten years, he’s been
fighting on the outside for the American
people and beating big corporations. He’s
beaten the energy companies, the drug
companies, and the utilities to win major
victories for millions of people. The
big question for voters is whether they
believe change is more likely to come from
inside the Washington establishment, or from
someone who has a decade-long track record of
making change from the outside.
Tom’s not a Washington politician. He’ll be up
against 11 other candidates who’ve done this
2-3 times this year and throughout their whole
careers. But he will be the only candidate on
that stage proposing big structural reforms
like term limits and national referendums
while making it easier to vote and ending
corporate money in politics. As
president, he’ll declare climate change an
emergency on day one and use those powers to
finally address the climate crisis.
We’re excited for Tom to introduce himself to
America tomorrow night. We hope you’ll be
watching with us.

Freedom From Religion
Foundation

FFRF’s ‘unabashed atheist’ Ron Reagan ad to
run during CNN Dem debate Tuesday
After being censored by the
national ABC network when it sought to
advertise during the Sept. 12 Democratic
debate, the Freedom From Religion Foundation
has secured airtime for its iconic Ron
Reagan commercial during the Tuesday
Democratic primary debate on CNN.
The 30-second spot (the first
freethinking ad believed to have ever run
during a presidential primary debate) will
be shown twice during the Oct. 15 debate
itself, and also during the primary debate
pre-show and post-show. The ad will also air
Wednesday on “The Lead with Jake Tapper”
(4-5 p.m. Eastern), “The Situation Room with
Wolf Blitzer” (5-7 p.m.) and “Anderson
Cooper 360” (8-9 p.m.).
Reagan, the progressive son of
President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan,
says during the ad:
Hi, I'm Ron Reagan, an
unabashed atheist, and I'm alarmed by the
intrusion of religion into our secular
government. That's why I'm asking you to
support the Freedom From Religion
Foundation, the nation's largest and most
effective association of atheists and
agnostics, working to keep state and
church separate, just like our Founding
Fathers intended. Please support the
Freedom From Religion Foundation. Ron
Reagan, lifelong atheist, not afraid of
burning in hell.
CBS, NBC, ABC and Discovery Science networks
have refused the ad since 2014, but it has
previously run periodically on CNN, Comedy
Central and Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC.
FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie
Gaylor says the American public has no idea
how much censorship nonbelievers encounter
in seeking to disseminate their views — even
when offering to pay to air those views.
“CNN has the right idea: to
let there be open debate,” Gaylor adds.
Studies show that secular voters could
comprise about a quarter of the electorate
and care deeply about hot-button issues,
including the direction of the judiciary and
protecting abortion and LGBTQ rights.
FFRF thanks FFRF members who
have donated to FFRF’s Advertising Fund for
making possible this major campaign.
