Bryan Kennedy TV spot highlightsSensenbrenner vote on Katrina relief

Democrat Bryan Kennedy, who's challenging Rep. F. Us Sensenbrenner for Congress again next year, has unveiled a new television commercial which you can view here. It began airing today, is scheduled to run a week, and a fundraising campaign is underway to keep it on the air.

It apppears to be the first commercial by any '06 House candidate in the country.

It contrasts Sensenbrenner's vote to spend money on the Iraq war and for tsunami relief -- to send money overseas -- against his refusal to vote for an appropriation for relief for Hurricane Katrina victims here at home.

A female narrator says, “When President Bush needed billions of dollars to help rebuild Iraq…Jim Sensenbrenner said “yes”. When the Tsunami hit Asia…Jim Sensenbrenner voted again to send our money overseas. But when fellow Americans on the Gulf Coast needed help…Jim Sensenbrenner turned his back on them and voted “NO”.

Kennedy finishes the spot on-camera, saying "Saying no to our fellow Americans in need is just wrong."
