ACW Responds to American Crossroads GPS Ad "Applause" Attacking Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia

http://www.americancrossroadswatch.org

Karl Rove and his secret cabal of billionaires are at it again,
this time with an ad filled with lies about Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia, Obama and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The deceptive ad states that "Virginia has lost jobs", but the Virginia Employment Commission reports that Virginia's unemployment rate dropped from 6.3 percent in March of 2011 to 5.8 in April of 2011, the lowest rate since 2008, as employers stepped up hiring in construction, many of the projects being a direct result of the Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Monster.com reports that the Recovery and Reinvestment Act will create almost 100,000 jobs in Virginia.

The deceptive ad also states that Kaine is responsible for the deficit in Virginia and implies the Recovery Act created or adds to the deficit.

But the truth is the state's budget shortfall is a result of decreasing tax revenue and the recession caused by Karl's handpicked President, George W. Bush...

The GAO reports the Recovery Act has been vital in helping Virginia and other states stabilize their budgets and avoid tax increases.

And the Recovery.gov website shows that in the 3rd quarter of 2011 the Recovery Act created over 400,000 jobs.

Karl Rove, keep your ads filled with lies and paid for by your secret handful of billionaires OUT of our elections.
