Summary: Dykstra accuses Tim Johnson of failing to regulate financial firms as a member of the Senate Banking Committee.
Script of "TV Spot II" (TV)
(Text on screen: Joel Dykstra; Republican for U.S. Senate; www.joeldykstraforsenate.com)
JOEL DYKSTRA: I'm Joel Dykstra, and I want to represent you in the U.S. Senate.
Tim Johnson is the number two man on the Senate Banking Committee. His responsibility was regulatory control of big firms like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
He took their campaign contributions, but voted against tougher oversight.
(Text on screen: $61,000 in campaign contributions; Sources: Open Secrets Center for Responsive Politics and Congressional Quarterly July 28, 2005)
Now it's costing billions of our dollars to fix the problem.
It's no surprise Senator Johnson won't debate his record, because he failed in the most important part of his job.
JOEL DYKSTRA [v/o]: I'm Joel Dykstra, and I approve this message.
