we'd love to feature your homemade Scott Ritcher commercials
on the site!

productions or hilarious parodies of attack ads - for or against
Scott! Get creative.

to share, let us know. Upload it to a video sharing site (like

The best ones will be posted here,

might show up on TV or the radio.
Keep in mind, most television
and radio ads are 30 or 60 seconds long.

Television
commercial #2: "Imagine a place"
Script of the ad:
Imagine a place where 22% of children are born into poverty...
...where every sixth person is poor
...where they spend more on health care than people in Switzerland, Norway, and France
...where the infant mortality rate is higher than in Cuba, Taiwan, and Lithuania
...where 1 in 7 people has no health care coverage
...where 143 people were killed at work in one year
...where 1 in 5 families lives on less than $300 a week
...where politicians allow all this to happen and get re-elected.
You don't have to imagine it. This place is Kentucky.
It's time to re-imagine what's possible. It's time to re-imagine Kentucky.
