A Bernie ad should refute the Corp Media, Republican, and big $$ lies and distortions.

IMO he should:

1. Clarify about raising taxes and include an excerpt from his speech against making the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy permanent. They showed a clip on Morning Joe. It's not unfair to ask those who have benefited through government policy and actions to step forward and return some of their largess to the public coffers. Now they are trying to paint Bernie as a man that is going to tax the middle class.

2. They have tried to paint me as a big Democratic spender. He is a frugal man, just ask his family (this was pointed out in people magazine), his plans are paid for, etc.

3. What he has done in Congress. How he has reached across the aisle to do the people's work, not the work of the billionaires and corporations.

4. He's had a close up seat to how Washington DC works and has used that seat to fight for the American Public. He's been accused of not being realistic. But he is a realist because he knows the only way change will occur is with an involved citizenry to push forward his agenda. But then explain why he is an optimist
