2. Kentucky has benefited a lot from Obamacare.

The NY Times recently had this article quoting people who benefited from Kynect (the state's implementation of Obamacare). The woman quoted in the beginning of this article praises Kynect, "it's helped me out a bunch" but turns around and says “Born and raised Republican. I ain’t planning on changing now.” Never mind the FACTS like Mitch McConnell being AGAINST the very Obamacare that made the woman's insurance possible! And then another story quoting another Kentuckian who SIGNED UP FOR KYNECT only to remark, "This beats Obamacare, I hope." An editorial by the Lexington Herald-Leader from 5/28/14 says: "Kynect is the Affordable Care Act is Obamacare — even if Kentuckians are confused about which is which." Good on ALG for getting the truth about McCONARTIST and health care out there. This ad is a start. Now she needs to call Kynect what it is...Obamacare...followed by clips of MCCONARTIST making anti-Obamacare remarks on the senate floor, campaign events, etc.

She is doing a wonderful job showing how her platform effects real people in important ways. If you're so obstinate that you will vote for McConnell because your preacher told you to hate gays or minorities or women, then you might as well hang it up.

KICK HIS ASS Alison!
