Priorities USA Action

"Votes Matter" +

:30 TV ad run in FL, NC and OH from Sept. 28, 2016.

President Obama (clip from CBC speech):  There's no such thing as a vote that doesn't matter.  It all matters.  And after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012 especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election.  You want to give me a good send-off?  Go vote. [cheers, applause]

PRIORITIES USA RELEASES NEW AFRICAN AMERICAN TV AD: “Votes Matter”

In Latest TV Ad, President Obama Explains What’s At Stake In This Election And Why Every Vote Matters

“Votes Matter” Is Part of a Multimillion Dollar Buy That Will Run in OH, NC & FL From Now Until Election Day

Priorities USA is releasing a new television ad today called “Votes Matter” in which President Obama makes clear that in this election, “there’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter. It all matters.” President Obama says that after so much progress, particularly in the African American community, he will "consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election.”

“Donald Trump has consistently demeaned and insulted African Americans throughout the course of his career and campaign, and we can’t allow President Obama’s legacy to end with Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House,” said Jeff Johnson, Strategist at Priorities USA. “Our country has made significant progress under President Obama and electing Donald Trump would only take us backwards. Priorities USA stands in agreement with President Obama that we must do everything we can to ensure voters know what is at stake this election, and the importance of every single vote."

“Votes Matter” will run in Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida.
