[Black Screen]
Announcer: This is a paid advertisement by the Democratic Party in Kentucky
[Fade into shot of Beshear behind his desk]
Beshear: As you all know, our state is facing difficult financial times. But it doesn't have to be that way. Government can be living the life of Reilly. It is possible with this amazing new system called "Slots at Tracks". "Slots at Tracks" is our specially designed new program where we will seek out people who can't do math and tell them they can win big money if they just shovel money into these bright and shiny machines called slots. It has worked elsewhere and it can work here! We believe their are enough gullible people in this great state to make all of government's dreams a reality. All you have to do is act now.
Announcer: But wait.. there is more!
[Cut to pictures of horses frolicking in a green field]
Beshear: If you act now, not only will you save government but you will be able to save Kentucky's horse industry from disappearing. That's right! "Slots At Tracks" will keep these beautiful animals from leaving our state forerver. Without "Slots At Tracks", these noble creatures will be gone by the end of the year! Acting today will keep these majestic horses in our state. So pick up the phone and dial your legislator right now and tell them you want "Slots at Tracks"!
[horn sounds]
Announcer: But wait... there is more!
[Cut to Stumbo on the house floor]
Stumbo: Not only will government get everything it needs to expand. Not only will we save the horse industry. But we will throw in an additional $700 million in free schools! That's right. $700 million in new schools. No more old and delapidated schools. No more schools that are older than 30 years. All you have to do is act now! Pick up your phone and call today!
[horn sounds]
Announcer: But wait... there is more!
Stumbo: That's right, not only will you get an expanding government, horses in Kentucky, and $700 million in new schools, but if you call in the next 30 minutes we will even throw in a $130 million dollar science building for UK. All of it will be yours as long as you order "Slots at Tracks" today. So what are you waiting for! Give us a call today!
Announcer: Pick up the phone right now and call your legislator and tell them you want "Slots at Tracks" today. Only you can save our great state! So call today and tell them you want "Slots at Tracks"!
