Washington, D.C. – On Monday, December 16, 2024, Protect Our Care’s “Stop RFK War Room” is launching a multi-media campaign across key states to call on senators to oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The campaign features paid ads and 18 billboards in seven states on Monday as RFK Jr. is set to meet with at least 20 Republican senators as part of the confirmation process. Throughout the week, Protect Our Care will be releasing new research and polling in addition to hosting events with advocates and experts to highlight RFK Jr.’s danger to the American people.
The “Stop RFK War Room” is focusing its events and activities on the following senators: Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Charles Grassley (R-IA), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Mike Rounds (R-SD), John Cornyn (R-TX), John Curtis (R-UT), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Jim Justice (R-WV).
“America’s health is in deep peril if RFK Jr. is confirmed,” said Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse. “If RFK Jr. gets his way, every American will be put at risk. He believes no vaccine is safe or effective and wants to decimate funding for research into treatments and cures His beliefs could lead to a deadly resurgence of preventable childhood illnesses like polio and measles. RFK Jr. doesn’t have the experience and skills to run major health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid that over 125 million Americans rely on for their health care. We’re working to make sure every senator understands the catastrophic consequences of this nomination that will touch nearly every household in the nation.”
Ad Script:
Narrator: Robert F Kennedy Jr. is no health care leader. He’s a threat to your family’s health. RFK Jr. spreads deadly lies about vaccines, calling them unsafe and ineffective. His conspiracy theories fueled a measles outbreak in Samoa, killing 83 people, mostly babies and toddlers.
CNN Clip: RFK went and rallied that country against vaccinations. It resulted in the deaths of 83 innocent children.
Narrator: Now he’s been nominated to oversee America’s health care system – Medicare, Medicaid, vaccines, research. The health of every American is at stake.
RFK Jr.: There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.
Narrator: He’d defund life-saving research and drug development, gut the FDA, let diseases like polio and measles resurge. This isn’t leadership. It’s a death sentence. Tell your Senators: reject RFK Jr. He’s not just unfit, he’s dangerous.
