No Congressman Etheridge — I Do Understand

We launched a new television ad today in response to Bob Etheridge’s charge that “Ms. Ellmers just doesn’t understand” how things work in Washington. During a recent appearance on the television program, “On the Record,” Bob Etheridge told WRAL host David Crabtree that “Mrs.Ellmers just doesn’t understand” and in his most recent campaign ad he repeated the charge that “Mrs. Ellmers doesn’t seem to understand.”

No Congressman Etheridge, I do understand.

Please watch the ad below:

Congressman Etheridge: “David, I’m sorry Mrs. Ellmers just doesn’t understand.”

Renee Ellmers: “No Congressman Etheridge, I do understand. Your trillion dollar spending has failed. Social Security recipients won’t get a cost of living increase, and the price of health insurance is skyrocketing. If we want to change Washington, we have to change the people in Washington. I’m a nurse, a wife and a mom and I do understand. I’m Renee Ellmers and I approved this ad.”

Please help me air my response to Bob Etheridge’s negative ad through Election Day by contributing today.

And, in addition, help by sharing this link to the ad with your friends via email and Facebook.

Renee Ellmers: “Congressman, you said that something will have to give, well the people of district two are going to give, and give, and give, in order to keep this massive healthcare bill in place. Am I correct to assume, and I guess this is a question, you believe the government can handle one sixth (1/6) of the economy better than the free enterprise system? That Americans, North Carolinians can’t make those choices and put those things in place better than the government?”

Moderator Kim Genardo: “Rebuttal, or shall we move on?

Congressman Bob Etheridge: “Move on.”

We Do Understand, Mr. Etheridge

In a new negative ad, Congressman Etheridge says I just don’t understand the wonderous benefits of Obamacare. Translation from Washington speak:  You don’t understand means you common people are just too stupid to get what Washington is doing to help you. Only we do understand — because we are paying the bill.  According to the [...]
