PRESS RELEASE: Cornyn Campaign Releases New Television Ad

October 2, 2008

AUSTIN, TX - Today, Texans for John Cornyn released its third television ad of the 2008 election cycle. "Cows" speaks directly to the economic stabilization legislation passed overwhelmingly by a bipartisan majority of the United States Senate last night.

The ad features the picturesque landscape of Beeville, Texas and celebrates Texas' rich ranching and agricultural history. It also invokes our state's tradition of straight talk and common sense approaches to policy issues. In it, Senator Cornyn expresses his disappointment that Washington ignored calls for reform for years, waiting to act until the only available solution was too late and too expensive.

It also highlights Senator Cornyn's efforts in early 2006 to draw attention to - and reform - the looming mortgage lending debacle at the heart of our current impending financial crisis. It also references his call for those responsible parties to be held accountable, through the criminal justice system if appropriate, and his longstanding efforts to make our government more transparent.

"Cows" will be broadcast statewide throughout Texas and on several cable systems. The ad can be viewed on Senator Cornyn's campaign website, http://link.ixs1.net/s/lt?id=o227633&si=0178241480&pc=82001&ei=o256550.

"Cows" Script:

John Cornyn voice over:

It shouldn't have happened.

Washington only got to work when the answer was too late and too expensive.

We need to hold the guilty parties responsible.

It's time to stop the waste and the backroom deals and bring some Texas common sense to Washington.

Voice over:

John Cornyn, for Texas

John Cornyn voice over:

I'm John Cornyn, and I approved this message.
