Script of "Breaks" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Gordon Smith and George Bush.

Billions and billions in tax breaks for Big Oil and corporations that ship jobs overseas.

And now a blank check for Wall Street.

But for working families, there's Jeff Merkley.

Balanced the state budget.

Created the rainy day fund.

And Merkley's plan to cut taxes for the middle class and create living-wage jobs is what we need to strengthen our economy.

Finally, a senator on your side.

JEFF MERKLEY [v/o]: I'm Jeff Merkley, and I approve this message.
