Script of "From The Bottom Of Our Hearts" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Since coming back to the Senate, Tim Johnson hasn't missed a single vote.
He's used his clout on the Appropriations Committee to restore money for our water projects, improve health care for vets and expand incentives for renewable energy.
And Tim had the courage to stand up to leaders of both parties and Wall Street to oppose the bailout.
TIM JOHNSON: My mind works faster than my mouth. And if more politicians were like that, Washington would get more done.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Tim Johnson is a work horse, not a show horse. He doesn't care about bragging rights, only results.
TIM JOHNSON: I'm Tim Johnson.
BARB JOHNSON: And I'm Barb Johnson.
TIM JOHNSON: And we approved this ad...
BARB JOHNSON: ...to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
TIM JOHNSON: And I'd be honored to have your vote.
