Script of "Overseas" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: In Washington, Congressman Kenny Hulshof let big corporations increase profits by shipping Missouri jobs to China.

(Text on screen: Vote 228, 2000)

The result? Missouri lost over 45,000 jobs to China trade. From Rolla to Columbia, St. Louis to St. Joseph.

(Text on screen: Economic Policy Institute)

But Hulshof continues to support these failed policies. And he says Missouri's economy is doing just fine.

(Text on screen: "Hulshof... said the economy generally is doing well." -- Jefferson City News Tribune, 06/24/08)

The difference? As governor, Jay Nixon will cut taxes to create jobs here.

Jay Nixon. The change we need.

(Text on screen: Paid for by Nixon For Governor, Craig Hosmer, Treasurer)
