MANCHESTER, NH - The only Democratic presidential contender actively
campaigning in the state of New Hampshire, Congressman Dennis Kucinich
continues his big push here in the Granite State with efforts across
the airwaves and in the field aimed at reaching out to Democratic and
independent voters.
Kucinich's first two radio ads, titled "A Real Democrat" and "Vote for
Your Health," are being broadcast today in over a dozen stations across
the state and throughout the region.
Two corresponding television spots also are set to go up tomorrow, on
network and cable. In the ads, Congressman Kucinich looks directly at
the camera and challenges the other Democratic candidates on issues of
major importance to all Americans, notably healthcare and foreign
policy. These ads will be available on the campaign website
(www.dennis4president.com) in the upcoming days.
This significant media buy comes at a time when a lot of voters are
still making up their minds about which candidate to support as Primary
Day nears.
The campaign also sent over 200,000 messages via phone to Democratic
and independent voters in New Hampshire yesterday.
"It is important for voters to know what I stand for, and that my
vision and ideas for the future of our great country includes all
Americans," said Kucinich.
Congressman Kucinich will be in New Hampshire through the rest of the
week, giving him a few days' head start before the other candidates
arrive from Iowa. His field operation has been ramped up as well:
over 300 canvassers are hitting the streets of several New Hampshire
burgs this week, including Manchester, Dover, Keene, and Concord.
"We have an opportunity here in New Hampshire in this last week to
create genuine excitement among voters looking for a Real Democrat,"
said Kucinich. "People are finding that I am tough and
independent-minded, and that I can't be bought or bossed."
