POV TAKING ON THE KENNEDYS


THE ADS


KENNEDY AD A

"Who is Kevin Vigilante? Bankrolled by the medical lobby, he's voted only four times in twenty years and has no public record, but that hasn't stopped him from distorting Patrick Kennedy's. Kennedy backed the death penalty, tougher sentencing, and an end to the loophole that lets juvenile felons go free. Kennedy's fought to get guns off our streets, while Vigilante has won the gun lobby's top rating. He's on their side. Patrick Kennedy is on ours."





VIGILANTE AD A

"He has real life experience solving problems. Kevin Vigilante worked to help pay his way through medical school. Helped his brother build a family restaurant. Improved services for veterans at a VA hospital. Ran the emergency room at the Miriam Hospital. Volunteered care for handicapped children. Helped expand services at the rape crisis center. Worked in the inner-city and helped open a free health clinic for disadvantaged women. A problem solver, not a career politician. Kevin Vigilante for Congress."
