WASHINGTON - July 30 - Beginning this week, Willie Nelson's radio ads supporting Dennis Kucinich for President will start airing in Iowa. The ads are narrated by Willie, a beloved figure in Iowa and the country, an artist known as a champion of heartland Americans. The theme of his radio message is that Congressman Kucinich is the candidate ready to fight for Americans "who need a stronger voice."
The goal of the spots is to continue to raise Kucinich's profile with voters. Besides endorsing the candidate, one of Willie's ads also advertises his Labor Day concert for Kucinich in Des Moines: "I'll be doing all I can to raise his profile, including a concert with his campaign right here in Iowa on Labor Day." (Willie will also perform concerts for the campaign in Cleveland on Sept. 6 and Madison, WI, on Sept. 13.)

The radio spots are running on a number of Iowa stations, will expand to more stations in Iowa and then to other states. The ads can be heard on the Kucinich.US website, where campaign supporters and Willie fans will be able to make online donations to expand radio play for the ads. (Ad transcripts below.)

"Best Person for the Job" (60 seconds)

Hey Iowa. This is Willie Nelson. I don't usually get too involved in politics, but this is more about getting involved with America. I've looked at the candidates for president and I think the best person for the job is Congressman Dennis Kucinich. I know Dennis. He speaks up for Americans who need a stronger voice. For family farmers and workers. For the environment. And a Kucinich Administration will put the interests of heartland Americans above the greed of big corporations. I encourage you all to visit his website at Kucinich.US and to come out and see him in person when he's in your area. I'll be doing all I can to raise his profile, including a concert with his campaign right here in Iowa on Labor Day. This is Willie Nelson saying support Dennis Kucinich for President, and we'll see you down the road. ANNOUNCER: Paid for by Kucinich for President

I am not a big fan either, always respected his writing talent more than anything. I went with my neighbors to one of his concerts just caused they asked and it was fabulous. I mean really good. If you live near where he is playing you should try to go. He is quite the entertainer. I am so pleased he is supporting DK!
