Do Your Job, Inc. puts latest online ad on TV

* As mentioned in the release, this is the same ad we’ve already discussed when it was just an online spot…

Last night, Do Your Job, Inc. placed a nearly half-million-dollar ad buy on broadcast television which will run ahead of the IL House’s vote to override Gov. Rauner’s amendatory veto of Senate Bill 1.

Do Your Job, Inc. is on air with the ad “Déjà vu” which debuted on digital platforms last Sunday ahead of the IL Senate’s bipartisan vote to override the Governor. The House is expected to reconvene on August 23rd to vote on that motion after Governor Rauner’s education funding plan failed to receive a single vote on the House floor.

“Déjà vu” can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/_qBoBXiEctA and contains the following narration:

It’s déjà vu.
After losing the budget fight, Governor Rauner is targeting our schools.
Principals, teachers and parents statewide support SB1 for fairer funding across the whole state but Rauner has vetoed SB1 creating chaos and another crisis.
Without the funding bill schools will close.
Rauner won’t compromise.
Republicans and Democrats have to fund our schools without him.
Sound familiar?
Tell your legislator override Rauner. Fund our schools.

The ad will run in the following media markets on broadcast television:

Chicago
Champaign-Decatur-Springfield
Davenport
Paducah
Peoria
Rockford

Do Your Job, Inc. is led by IL Sen. Michael E. Hastings of South Suburban Cook County, IL Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie and Illinois AFL-CIO President Michael T. Carrigan.

Why do these ads not run in the Quad Cities, and Quincy, where there are a lot of Republican legislators? If the goal is to flip republicans (4?), why not go to the media markets where many are found?

Uh… Never mind about the quad cities. I missed Davenport. Must be lunch time.

==Tell your legislator override Rauner. Fund our schools.==

“Please take a moment to ask your legislator to override Gov. Rauner. Fund our schools.” would play much better to the public than issuing marching orders to viewers and voters.

There should be an ad called “What’s My Line”, where people try to guess what Rauner’s actual occupation is. “Does it have something to do with saving yourself boatloads of cash?”

Thes guys are years short on the uptick and not very creative.

I’m sure they “feel better” doing this now.
