Blogging for Max

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Max Burns, former Congressman and candidate for Georgia’s new 12th U.S. Congressional District, today began airing his first television commercial of the 2006 election cycle.  The ad, entitled “Max,” focuses on Max’s family, his local roots in the 12th District and highlights Max’s support for lower taxes and his commitment to a safer, secure America.  The ad began airing this morning in the Savannah and Augusta media markets.

“Today our campaign began taking my message of who I am, where I come from and my goals for a strong, secure nation directly to the voters in the 12th District,” said Burns.  “I’m confident that once the voters see who I am, the lifetime I’ve spent in our community and my commitment to Georgia families’ way of life, they’ll vote to return me to Congress.”

Burns begins his advertising well in advance of the November election, allowing voters to learn about him and the successful work that he will do when he returns to Congress.

“Our advertising will show voters in the 12th District who Max is, the lifetime he has spent in our community and his desire keep taxes low, grow the economy and protect our way of life,” said Burns’ Campaign Manager Tim Baker.  “Max has always been there for the people of the 12th District, no matter if he’s in Congress or out of Congress, and this ad reflects that commitment.”

BloggingforMax.com should have the advertisement posted this evening or tomorrow.

The voice-over of the TV spot, called “Max,” says:

Max Burns. Devoted to his family, and our community, he and Lora raised two boys here.  And some timber and cattle on the side.

For twenty years, Max taught at Georgia Southern.  And still made time to referee high school football.

In Congress, Max cut taxes for our families and small businesses.

To defend our way of life, Max will secure our ports and control our borders.

I’m Max Burns and I approve this message.
