SCOTT BROWN LAUNCHES 1ST TV AD: “DIFFERENT PEOPLE, SAME MESSAGE”
U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown today released his first TV ad of the campaign with a creative spot that features old newsreel footage of President Kennedy calling for tax cuts to create jobs and stimulate the American economy. In the ad, Kennedy and Brown take turns reading from the same 1962 Kennedy speech.

The 30-second ad -- which is running statewide, on both national cable and network affiliate stations -- makes the point that Kennedy and Brown are two different people, from different political parties and different eras, but with the same message: lower taxes will create more jobs.
The ad begins in black and white with Kennedy describing his tax cut bill: “The billions of dollars this bill will place in the hands of the consumer and our businessmen will have both immediate and permanent benefits to our economy.”
The screen dissolves, and then Brown appears in the same black and white setting. He is slowly brought forward into the present with the use of color, and finishes Kennedy’s remarks: “Every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create a new job and a new salary. And these new jobs and new salaries can create other jobs and other salaries, and more customers and more growth for an expanding American economy.”
FAST FACTS ON SENATOR BROWN AND TAX CUTS:
Senator Brown would vote to extend the 2001 and 2003 Federal tax cuts, currently set to expire in 2010. These tax cuts provided relief for all by cutting taxes on income, capital gains and dividends, doubling the child care credit, eliminating the marriage penalty and phasing out the death tax. Without an extension, Americans will see a massive tax increase in 2011.
Senator Brown proposes lowering the corporate tax rate. Senator Brown recognizes that American companies must stay competitive to allow our economy to remain the job-creating engine and economic driver of the world. The United States has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world behind Japan. Making America’s business environment competitive with the rest of the world will attract capital, encourage investment and create new jobs.
Senator Brown supports lower taxes for individuals and families. Reducing marginal tax rates across the board will reward productivity and allow people to keep more of their own money. By leaving more money in the economy for consumption and investment, the private sector will respond with more jobs and higher salaries.
Senator Brown has signed the no-tax pledge. Senator Brown is the only candidate in the race who has signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge not to raise taxes on the American people.

1.Geeee… let’s see here. 1962 = Rapid economic growth, close to the lowest amount of debit as a percentage of GDP in the past century, extremely strong dollar, no active wars. 2009 = Virtually no economic growth, extremely high debts and deficits, very weak dollar, two active wars. So basically the same, right? it’s so ironic that the right seems to love screaming that the sky is falling and the dollar is about the collapse, yet they also want to lower taxes, dramatically increasing the chance of that happening by cutting government revenue. History has shown that tax cuts have little effect on GDP growth, but a huge effect on budget deficits. With the government pumping trillions of dollars into the economy, now is not the time for another handout to the wealthy. If you want to cut taxes for people making $200k or less, fine with me… but offset them with new taxes on people making $200 or more. By the way, the top income tax bracket in 1967 was 91%. Yes, NINTEY ONE PERCENT. Today it’s 35%. So I’m all for going back to Kennedy’s tax policy. Knock yourself out, Brown. Do Republicans have ANY ideas other than “cut taxes”?

In response to those who will say Scott is no Jack Kennedy- neither were Teddy and Bobby and Jack would not be a tax and spend liberal today.

Suggestion for Scott's next 2 videos-
1. Health Care Bill- why it is bad for our country, will destroy the quality of your existing health care as illustrated Teresa Heinz Kerry's response to the Federal Agency "recommendation on mammograms", raise raxes, cost jobs, mandated health choices, add to the deficit, and is not supported by almost 60% of the voters. Scott is against it because he is listening to Massachusetts voters. The GOP has proposed better alternatives- Congressman Ryan (WI) and Sen Coburn (OK) and Scott would like to see a true bi-partisan transparent solution without the "sweetheart deals". Democrats have also opposed amendment which would have made Congress subject to "public option".
2. The phone banks have accumulated data on what is important to the voters. (On Monday from Boston it was jobs and economy, public option health care, illegal imigration, and homeland security). Scott states what the voters are concerned about based on his polls (shows Scott's empathy) and briefly why his position is better than the democratic solutions. As a senior the decline in the quality of my health care is the most important but for the callers I spoke with it was a tough choice because they all have an impact on at least one other category.

Please excuse grammer errors, I supported at the time Senator Hillary Clinton. I'm also disgusted by the sweetheart deals in D.C. and it looks like the Nebraska sold out to his own state and our country so my guess his political will be over. The victories for Christi in NJ and Bob McDonald and his was also a great victory gave us people hope. I believe Massachusettes people should be really listening and I believe Mr. Brown you are the man to bring about a new era of politics for the people and the real change we can believe in. I'm from upstate NY and I'm making a donation to your campaign . Good Luck Mr. Scott Brown. Sincerely Mary Ann

Hi! Mr. Scott Brown, My name is Mary Ann and I'm from Rochester New York. I think it's time for change that we can really believe in so as I also supported Gov.elect, Chris Christi of NJ (great victory ) and Gov. elect Bob McDondald so shall I now support you and I will also from here in Rochester New York make a contribution to your campaign and I hope all Massachussetts people are really paying attention because this is an important election. I might add that I supported my N.Y. Senator at hte time Hillary Clinton but am now a declared independent and do not like at all the direction the country is going in. I now listen to both sides and I'm also a Catholic woman like Kennnedy and I DO NOT SUPPORT ABORTION OR FEDERALLY FUNDED MONIES FOR ABORTION . I'M ALSO SIGUSTED BY THE SWEETHEART DEALS AND THE NEBRASKA SENATOR BENSON FOR SELLING OUT TO HIS COUNTRY AND HIS WON STATE AND IT LOOKS LIKE HIS POLITICAL CAREER IS GOING TO BE OVER. Mr. Brown, I believe your the man to bring a new era of real change we can believe in. Let a new era of government begin by electing Scott Brown for Senator. Sincerely Mary
