"Days Later"

Robin Carnahan released a new ad on her website www.robincarnahan.com called "Days Later", adding more substance on her views about Roy Blunt. The ad, which starts after the approval of Carnahan, refers to $13,000 that Blunt received from business executives and a political committee associated with a California defense contractor named Brent Wilkes. One of his firms received a $1 million earmark eight days earlier. An earmark is a legislative provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific projects or that directs specific exemptions from taxes or mandated fees.

After the company gave Blunt the money, Carnahan claims, Blunt repeatedly flew on their company planes. On checking with news sources, this turned out to be true.

Carnahan's ad then talks about the fact that when Wilkes was later charged with bribing another congressman, Roy Blunt was called to testify as a defense witness which he refused to. The ad ends with asking if "Roy Blunt had Missouri values"?

This is another ad from Carnahan attacking Roy Blunt, but this time her facts seem to be more accurate than her previous ads.
