Help on Anti-Dean Commecial

Posted on 01/04/2004 2:12:20 PM PST by StopDemocratsDotCom

Hi Freepers, I just graduated from film school and after looking for work for hours I have decided to take a break and make an anti-Howard Dean commercial. The commercial's slogan will be "IF HOWARD DEAN CAN'T SECURE THE SECURITY OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN VERMONT HOW CAN HE PROTECT THE HOMELAND SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY". The commercial will be mainly based on this story: CNN reports presidential hopeful Howard Dean, who accuses President Bush of being weak on homeland security, was warned repeatedly as Vermont governor about security lapses at his state's nuclear power plant and was told the state was ill-prepared for a disaster at its most attractive terrorist target.

The warnings, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press, began in 1991 when a group of students were brought into a secure area of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant without proper screening. On at least two occasions, a gun or mock terrorists passed undetected into the plant during security tests.

During Dean's final year in office in 2002, an audit concluded that despite a decade of repeated warnings of poor safety at Vermont Yankee, Dean's administration was poorly prepared for a nuclear disaster.

"The lack of funding and overarching coordination at the state level directly impacts the ability of the state, local and power plant planners to be adequately prepared for a real emergency at Vermont Yankee," state Auditor Elizabeth M. Ready wrote in a study issued five months after the September 11 attacks.

Security was so lax at Vermont Yankee that in August 2001, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staged a drill in which three mock terrorists gained access to the plant. The agency gave Vermont Yankee the worst security rating among the nation's 103 reactors.

I NEED HELP...I need a couple good deep professional sounding voice overs done and all the pictures and video clips I can get.. Everythin can be done online with the voiceover just needing a microhpone to send me the wav file

You could also allude to his actions to sequester his governor's records - what's in them, anyway? Something about sloppy management?

Just some suggestions:

IF HOWARD DEAN CAN'T SECURE THE SECURITY OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN VERMONT HIS OWN STATE, HOW CAN HE PROTECT ENSURE THE HOMELAND SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY?

or in a simpler version: If Howard Dean can't secure a nuclear power plant in his own state, how can he ensure the security of this country?

Two other points: it seems to me that this ad could be played with a young woman's voice, that 'mother with small kids' sound.

Also, it can be good to answer a question in an ad if you ask one. (Not necessary though). So if you ask something like, "how do we know if (Dean) will be able to protect this country?", you could end with something like, "We just can't roll the dice on our national security."

I believe you might get shot in the groin on this subject.

The owners of a nuclear plant, whether a PUD or privately held utility, are responsible for the facility's security, which must meet the Nuclear Regulatory Agency's requirements by presenting a security plan and passing frequent inspections.

You could get all the sound bites you want from Lieberman et al and could probably get financing from Terry McAuliffe. My advice - let the cannibals eat themselves and start working on an anti-Hillary video, instead.

HOWARD AND SIGMUND ACT I

Howard: (rising up on elbows and screaming) but the events, the events of the last two weeks.

Sigmund: please lay back Mr. Dean, we can't safely administer any more horse tranquilizer.

Howard: The events prove that I was right. We are no safer - we are no safer - we are no safer...

Sigmund: But Howard, there were no events. The last terrorist strike was on 9/11.

Howard: fading screen (we are no safer...)

George W: (New shot -aircraft carrier with jets landing in background)Despite the existence of the UN and French involvement on the security council, the events of 9/11 show that America was no safer until we took action with the coalition of the willing. That's why I propose a complete overhaul of the UN, starting with removal of France from the security council. God bless America

In Iowa, they're playing radio ads where it's mentioned that Dean worked at an inner city hospital and learned Spanish while working on a ranch in Florida.

Just as an idea, I thought it would be great to create a commercial touting his record in a Planned Parenthood clinic. "Dr. Dean clinic'd at a Planned Parenthood facility where he made sure women were able to legally kill their unborn child."

Those still inside this nation's borders after that deadline will be detained at Gitmo. God bless America."

I would suggest trying to get Gephardt to buy airtime for it (naturally, pretend to be a moderate Democrat trying to help him out).

Professional commericials tend to be pretty expensive. He might be very tempted.

Maybe the speaker could talk in a voice that one might use with a small child (much like Al Gore Jr. did every election cycle).

It certainly seemed to sway guilible leftists in the past. Maybe they require politicians to speak to them like small children.

The last major domestic terrorist strike was on 9/11.

There have been other muslim terrorists attacks in America (the Tampa teen kamikaze, the LAX shooting, DC sniper duo, the shoe bomber's unsuccessful attempt,...) as well as the anthrax letters.

Additionally there was the nightclub bombing which targeted vacationing Australians, the UN bombing in Iraq, Daniel Pearl's kidnapping and decapitation.

The attacks, apart from 9.11.2001 and the anthrax, are actually lesser than those we endured during President Clinton's administration. The WTC was targeted in 1993 with a bomb and poison gas but it did not yield the desired results. The guilty captured participants were given life in prison and they lived to see the accomplishment of their goal.

We even had a muslim sniper outside CIA headquarters in Clinton's time.
