US JIM OGONOWSKI LAUNCHES NEW TELEVISION AD!

U.S. Senate candidate asks “Where is John Kerry?”

(Westford, MA) – Jim Ogonowski today launched the first television advertisement in the Massachusetts US Senate race. The ad, airing statewide, highlights the anger and frustration Massachusetts residents have with John Kerry.

“We have real problems in Massachusetts. The economy is floundering, gas prices are out of control, people are worried about keeping their jobs and are having trouble paying their mortgages. And what has John Kerry done? He is nowhere to be found,” said Ogonowski. “24 years ago, we had an energy problem, now we have an energy crisis. 24 years ago we paid too much in taxes, now we have even less money left in our pocket and John Kerry wants to take more. John Kerry is an absentee Senator.”

The television ad features unscripted reactions of diner patrons from Jim’s “People Before Politics” tour which took him to over 50 coffee shops across the state of Massachusetts. When asked if they had seen John Kerry, the overwhelming answer was “No.”

“How can you represent the people and fight for them if you don’t even show up in the state?” Ogonowski continued, “You can learn a lot by sitting down with someone and talking to them over a cup of coffee. You need to listen and lead, not leave. When I am in the United States Senate, I will never forget who it is that elected me or stop listening.”

“He [John Kerry] has forgotten why he was sent to Washington,” remarked a patron included in the spot. “He’s been there too long.”
