MILWAUKEE – A new television ad to begin airing tomorrow in Wisconsin will urge citizens to stand with Governor Scott Walker for fiscal sanity and balanced budgets rather than government unions. To view the ad, click here.

The ad asks state citizens, “Who decides Wisconsin’s future: voters or government unions?”

The ad continues, stating that Wisconsin voted for fiscal sanity and balanced budgets while public employees walked off their jobs, Democratic legislators fled to other states, and President Obama backed the union bosses.

“Governor Walker has the courage to do what’s right for Wisconsin,” the ad concludes. “Stand With Walker.”

The $342,200 ad buy will run on network and cable channels across the state starting tomorrow and continuing through March 1st. It is part of Americans for Prosperity’s Stand With Walker initiative, urging citizens to support the Governor’s commonsense plan for budget reform.

Last week, AFP launched an online petition, StandWithWalker.com, and acquired over 60,000 signatures.

Additionally, Americans for Prosperity helped coordinate the Stand With Walker rally in Madison last Saturday where nearly 10,000 activists gathered in support of Gov. Scott Walker. For photos and video of the Stand With Walker rally, visit www.americansforprosperity.org/wisconsin

“Democratic legislators need to return to Wisconsin and work for the people who elected them,” said Matt Seaholm, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin. “Right now, state taxpayers are footing the bill for legislators’ salaries while they hide out at an Illinois resort. Thousands of Wisconsin jobs are on the line and we need our legislators to make the tough decisions necessary to balance the budget and get our badger state back on the road to prosperity.”
