Every time one of Mark Obenshain's folksy ads comes on playing up family members while trying to sweep his extremist political record under the rug I want to vomit. And Ken Cuccinelli's new ad featuring a supposed Democrat supporter - who the ad neglects to note is about to undergo foreclosure and has a let us say "interesting" history of her own - isn't any better. The thrust of these ads is to fool voters, and especially women, about the true extent of Obenshain's and Cuccinelli's anti-women agenda and history in the General Assembly and/or the Office of the Attorney General. Thankfully, a new ad by Mark Herring seeks to counter these lies. Blue Virginia reports on the effort to educate voters in general and women in particular. Here are highlights:
The Mark Herring for Attorney General campaign responded to Senator Obenshain's negative attack ads today by releasing their latest television ad titled "Wrong Turn." The ad highlights the Obenshain/Cuccinelli record of punishing women for making their own, private health care decisions.
The ad focuses on the 2007 "Personhood" bill, co-sponsored by Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain, that would ban common forms of contraception and outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.
"Like Ken Cuccinelli, Senator Obenshain has spent his entire career in the state Senate trying to punish women for making their own, private health care decisions," Mark Herring stated. "Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain believe politicians in Richmond should dictate to women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, and they have the record to prove it. Virginia women can't trust Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain."
If local readers want to help defeat the Cuccinelli/Obenshain agenda, consider coming to an event at my home on Saturday, October 12, 2013, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM to benefit Mark Herring. Either contact me at michaelinnorfolk@gmail.com or Megan Fitzgerald at megan@herringforag.com
