Script Of NRSC Radio Ad Attacking Obama On Climate Change

Narrator: Nancy Pelosi just passed her number one legislative priority. It’s a radical plan to implement a national energy tax across America. They call it cap and trade. But make no mistake, it’s a massive new tax. Just ask President Obama.

Obama: Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.

Narrator: Say that again Mr. President.

Obama: Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.

Narrator: Experts say it would cost western Missouri over 2,500 jobs. But Congressman Ike Skelton voted for the national energy tax. Skelton voted in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi, just like he did on the wasteful stimulus plan and on 98 percent of the votes this year.

Ike Skelton and Nancy Pelosi: more taxes, more spending, less jobs. Call Ike Skelton at 202-225-3121. Tell him to stop voting with Nancy Pelosi and start voting for Missourians instead.
