Sanchez Campaign Fights Back Against Chamber’s Lies in New Ad
Thursday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched a massive negative ad campaign against Loretta Sanchez to help elect Sacramento politician Van Tran to Congress. In the spot, the Chamber falsely accuses Rep. Sanchez of hurting Orange County seniors. What the group fails to mention is its underlying agenda to privatize Social Security, create tax breaks for big corporations that outsource American jobs, and repeal rules to bring transparency and accountability to Wall Street – an agenda that is shared by Assemblyman Tran
Ken Calvert is horribly confused.
At least it sure seems that way. Ken Calvert seems to think he’s running against Nancy Pelosi on November 2nd. But he’s not. He’s running against Bill Hedrick. For Congress. To help clear-up Calvert’s confusion, we here at Team Hedrick have made this short ‘educational’ video to help clear up the Congressman’s confusion. And we thought you might like to see it too.
