On the inside, at the top is a picture of George and Kerry.

George's caption is: George Bush - Four more years of suffering for working families

Kerry's caption: John Kerry - A new beginning for America.

Then there are columns under each picture. George's glowing accomplishments are:
Shipping good jobs oversees. Under George Bush, Ohio has lost 173,000 manufacturing jobs, in part because Bush actually champions tax incentives for corporations to move good jobs overseas (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Congress Daily AM, 06/15/04)

Soaring health costs. We have a health care crisis in America and a President with no plan to solve it. Health care premiums for Ohio families have risen in the last four years (2000 MEPS data from the Agency for Health care Quality Research projected toward using KFF National Premium Increase)

Record Gas Prices. Under Bush and Cheney, oil companies are making record profits while middle class Ohio families with teenagers are paying $382 more per year for gas. Working families simply can't afford four more years of energy policies that favor the big oil companies(Energy Information Administration)

Kerry's columns are: (each outlines how he will do them)
Good jobs for America
Affordable Health Care for working families
Energy Independence.

At the bottom of the page - George Gush has had four long years. TELL HIM HI TIME IS UP.

Great brochure! Also, MAJOR TV blitz in Ohio, with one commercial talking about favoritism for Saudi Arabians.
