Script of "Courage" (TV)

GEORGE MITCHELL [v/o]: I've known Tom Allen for 40 years.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: A message from former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.

GEORGE MITCHELL: Tom Allen has demonstrated the kind of leadership the people of Maine and of America need.

He opposed the war in Iraq when it was not popular to do so.

He fought against the Bush economic policies that have put this country in such a mess today.

That's what we need in Washington -- a senator with courage and vision. Tom Allen will be that kind of senator.

TOM ALLEN [v/o]: I'm Tom Allen, and I approve this message.
