Been playing with some ideas recently. I’d like to see a series of NATIONALLY BROADCAST commercials on TV. On all the cable channels too, of course. Here are my ideas for their content:

SCENE 1: A haggard-looking, frightened woman is in a police interrogation room. She looks as if she has been through an ordeal. There is a harsh light above her. Opposite her sits an ominous-looking panel of interrogators, three men and one woman. The interrogators all have nasty, accusatory expressions. One of them snarls at the woman, “You CLAIM you had a miscarriage. How do we know you didn’t have an abortion?”



The frightened-looking woman, near tears says, “Losing my baby was terrible. I didn’t want this!”

Another interrogator shouts, “LIAR! We know you bribed your doctor into saying it wasn’t an abortion. You killed your own child, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?” The harangue continues.

VOICEOVER NARRATION: This is the future the Republicans want. Every miscarriage, no matter how painful or tragic, will be treated like an abortion. The burden of proof will be on the woman accused. Women who have suffered crushing grief will be accused of murder. And people will go to jail who don’t deserve to.

This is the future the Republicans want. How about you?

END CARD: VOTE DEMOCRATIC

SCENE 2: [We’ll have to show some real courage to depict this scenario truthfully.]

We are in a school room. Everything in the room has been destroyed. Strewn about, in various conditions of mutilation, are the bodies of 7 year-old children. Some have been decapitated. Others have been so badly torn apart that they aren’t even recognizable. Nothing is moving. Blood is everywhere. Every child is dead.

VOICEOVER NARRATION: The weapon that did this is legal because the Republicans keep it legal. The person who did this didn’t have to have a true background check because the Republicans didn’t allow it. They were able to buy this weapon because the Republicans made it easy. AS LONG AS THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN POWER, THIS NIGHTMARE WILL NEVER END. IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND ALL THE REPUBLICANS WILL SAY ARE THAT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ARE THE “PRICE OF FREEDOM.” They would rather protect the NRA than protect your children.

What do YOU choose to protect?

END CARD: VOTE DEMOCRATIC

SCENE 3:

A young couple is in bed in their semi-darkened bedroom. The man moves to embrace his wife to start an episode of love-making. The wife gently but firmly moves away. “This is the time of the month when I’m most fertile. You know we can’t get birth control pills in this state any more, and IUDs have been outlawed. And I couldn’t find any condoms anywhere this month. I don’t want to get pregnant again so soon. OK?”

The husband, a defeated look on his face, gets up out of bed and leaves the room. With a look of sorrow on her face, the woman curls up.

VOICEOVER NARRATION: The Republicans want to make it legal for a state to outlaw birth control, even for married couples. The so-called “Party of Freedom” wants to run every single part of your private life. The Republicans want to dictate to you in your own bedroom. Do you agree with them—or not?

END CARD: VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

So whaddaya think? ADD YOUR OWN SCENARIOS!! I’m open to any idea!!

Let’s play ROUGH with these Right-wing bastards.
