In Michigan this year, the senate race is extremely close with the latest polls showing the Republican candidate with a small lead. That may change very soon due to the campaign tactics being used by the Democrat, congressman Gary Peters. The tactics center around an ad run by a group called Americans For Prosperity which features a Michigan woman named Julie Boonstra who complains about losing her health insurance plan due to Obamacare. Boonstra suffers from cancer and is in the middle of chemotherapy. She says that her new, Obamacare compliant plan is forcing her to change doctors away from the ones she trusts and wants to use.
Peters response to the ad was to call Boonstra a liar. He denounced the ad and said that the new policy did not cost more than the old one and provided good treatment for Boonstra. It seemed a questionable tactic to attack a poor woman suffering from cancer who just wants to keep her doctors, but that was the choice Peters made.
Now, Americans For Prosperity is running a response to Peters attack. Just watch this one minute video. It speaks for itself and is one of the most powerful political ads that I have ever seen. If most of Michigan sees it, I believe that it will be the end of Peters chances to win.
