GOVERNOR DANIELS FINALLY GETS A REALITY CHECK
Long Thompson campaign launches "Reality Check 1," new Web site
INDIANAPOLIS - Highlighting the differences between Governor Mitch Daniels' rhetoric and the reality Hoosier families are facing, today the Hoosiers for Jill Long Thompson Campaign kicked-off two new efforts to help voters learn the truth.
The campaign is launching a new Web site www.mitchrealitycheck.com to illustrate Governor Daniels' poor leadership, failed polices and consistent flip-flops on important issues. Among other things, the site features articles, web videos and direct quotes of Daniels demonstrating just how out of touch he is with the concerns of working Hoosiers.
"Governor Daniels is truly oblivious to what is happening to every day working Hoosiers of this state," said Travis Lowe, the Hoosiers for Jill campaign manager. "Job losses continue to mount, cost of living continues to rise and bankruptcies show no signs of subsiding, but if you listen to Mitch Daniels, all is right in Indiana."
"We disagree, and so do working Hoosiers," added Lowe. "With this new site, all Hoosiers will be able to log on, and compare Governor Daniels' campaign rhetoric to his real record. I think they'll come to the same conclusion we have; he's just not being truthful."
At the same time, the campaign is unveiling "Reality Check 1," a mobile tote board displaying the number of jobs lost in Indiana during Daniels' time in office. "Reality Check 1" will tour the state and visit communities experiencing job loss.
"If there is one thing the Governor has tried to gloss over during this campaign, it is his terrible economic record," add Lowe. "'Reality Check 1' will serve as a reminder for Hoosiers and to the Governor about the kind of damage his shortsighted and ineffective policies has inflicted in his four years in office."
"It's time to hold Mitch Daniels accountable, and that's what we intend to do," concluded Lowe. "It's not that he's a bad person, it's that he's just not good at governing. Governor Daniels is totally unaware of the everyday struggles of Hoosiers - and his policies reflect that."
