TAX CUTS/DEFICIT
This is a paid radio moment–
The Federal deficit, is 400 billion dollars this year,
the total National Debt is 7 trillion dollars.
I keep hearing it’s our money,
But it’s gone and now it’s our debt.
Not corporate debt, it’s citizen debt
Every man woman and child in this country
owes the government 25,000 dollars. (pause)
It would be fair to call this a “Birth Tax.”

From Robert Millman:

I plan to take on talk radio where I live. And I’m writing to ask you to help.

AM radio is a free market place. Anyone can place an issue ad on the air. All it takes is a credit card, an e-mail address and access to a fax machine. Depending on where you live, and what program you choose, a 30-second radio ad will cost from $20 to $120 a spot.

I have produced seven "Paid Radio Moments." They are 30-second ads that frame progressive issues. I plan on putting them on air on WGY (the big AM radio station in Albany, New York) in the first week of January.

I plan to make these audio files available to anyone willing to put them on the air in their entirety, that’s my only condition for full and free use. As long as a spot is played in full, anyone is welcome to one or all of them.
