Chris Bell's new ad and response to Perry's

Watch Chris's new ad

Dear Friend,

Great news! We're going up on TV today with a brand new ad that exposes the impact that Rick Perry's corruption has had on the most vulnerable Texans -- our children.

The ad takes a look at Rick Perry's decision to give the children's health insurance contract to Accenture, a Bermuda-based company represented by several former Perry staffers. Since Perry made this insider deal, over 250,000 kids have lost their health insurance coverage. Watch the full ad on our website:

As you've probably seen by now, Rick Perry is running ads across the state attacking Chris Bell on taxes and border security. Not surprisingly, Perry's ad is heavy on rhetoric but light on facts. Chris Bell has a proven record as a tax-cutter. He helped pass the first property tax rate rollback in Houston's history, and he didn't need a court order to do it. Moreover, the border security vote referenced in Perry's ad was a bill to pull troops out of Afghanistan and reassign them to the border -- a bill that even the Pentagon criticized as a dumb idea.

By contrast, Chris Bell's new ad puts the facts on the table and calls Rick Perry to task for passing along the cost of corruption to the most vulnerable Texans. Hundreds of thousands of Texas children have lost their health insurance since Rick Perry gave the $900 million children's health insurance contract to his cronies at Accenture. When Chris Bell is governor, he will fire Accenture, and our children will no longer have to bear the cost of Rick Perry's corruption.

This ad will start airing all across the state tonight, and you can help us spread the word even faster by forwarding this email to 10 friends. When it comes to health care for children, the difference between Chris Bell and Rick Perry could not be more clear. Rick Perry's reign of error has left hundreds of thousands of Texas children with no health coverage. When Chris Bell is governor, he will end the culture of corruption and make sure our children have access to health care.

Sincerely,

Tim McCann

P.S. Don't forget to forward this email to 10 friends and encourage them to watch the ad. We need your help to spread the word. If Democrats get out and vote, we will win!





This is the ad that I was an extra for on Wednesday. If you look closely, you might be able to see the back of my head!
