"Broken Promises" Highlights President Bush's Lost Credibility

Washington, DC - To highlight President Bush's diminished credibility on a number of issues important to Americans, the Democratic National Committee will run a television advertisement entitled, "Broken Promises." The advertisement will run on Las Vegas television stations this Sunday morning.

"President Bush's broken promises have left his credibility in tatters and American families struggling to deal with the consequences," said Democratic National Committee Communications Director Karen Finney. "Americans are fed up with the Republican culture of corruption and Republican policies that only benefit special interests, and they are hungry for change. Democrats will continue to fight for hard-working American families and will provide honest leadership and open government."
