THIS AD IS A GREATEST HITS OF CLAIMS WE'VE COVERED
THIS YEAR AGAINST RON JOHNSON.
SOME OF WHICH NEED CLARIFICATION.
1 SOTW1 43 
:37 lcv victory fund is responsible for the content

2 VO/MINI-DISCW2 55 
FIRST YOU SHOULD KNOW IT IS *TWO* GROUPS PAYING SOME
TWO MILLION DOLLARS COMBINED TO RUN THIS AD ACROSS
THE STATE...
THE L-C-V- VICTORY FUND...
AND SENATE MAJORITY PAC.
THE FIRST GROUP IS AN ARM OF THE LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION
VOTERS.
AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP.
THAT HAS LARGELY SUPPORTED DEMOCRATS...
THE GROUP'S TWO SINGLE BIGGEST DONORS ARE THE CO-FOUNDER
OF FACEBOOK DUSTIN MOSKOVITZ AND HIS WIFE CARI TUNA...
WHO HAVE SPENT 20 MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR TO HELP
DEMOCRATS.
SENATE MAJORITY PAC IS BACKED BY SEVERAL MULTI-MILLION
DOLLAR MEGA-DONORS INCLUDING GEORGE SOROS AND A CHICAGO
OWNER OF ALTERNATIVE NEWSPAPERS.

05; an economy rigged for the wealthy, and ron johnson
would make it worse :15 johnson took a shady 10 million

IT'S TRUE THAT JOHNSON GOT A NEARLY 10 MILLION DOLLAR
PAYOUT FROM HIS PLASTICS COMPANY WHEN HE WAS ELECTED

THE GROUPS POINT TO A NUMBER OF *PROCEDURAL VOTES*
ON DEMOCRATIC MEASURES TO CHANGE BUSINESS TAX DEDUCTIONS...
THOSE DEDUCTIONS CAN BE USED FOR OUTSOURCING JOBS.
BUT ALSO OTHER BUSINESS EXPENSES.
LEGITIMATE DEDUCTIONS
SCRAP

had milions to wall street :31  
4 VO/MINI-DISCW8 53 
IT'S TRUE THAT JOHNSON HAS VOICED SUPPORT FOR PRIVATIZATION
OF SOCIAL SECURITY IN THE PAST...
MANDATORY PRIVATIZATION.
NOW...HIS SUPPORT IS NOT AS CLEAR...
ANY SERIOUS PROPOSAL
4 SOTW9 45 
:31 and wants to eliminate the federal minimum wage
