WASHINGTON - Proponents of a financial regulation overhaul are going after a familiar image: Senator Scott Brown's truck. Americans United for Change is launching a small TV ad <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loUcjq4VWdA> campaign to urge Brown to vote in favor of starting debate on legislation designed to overhaul the nation's financial regulations and prevent a repeat of the 2008 economic meltdown. "When Scott Brown ran for Senate, he said he was a regular guy from Wrentham, Massachusetts, who drove a truck," says a narrator, attempting to speak in a South Boston accent. "But now, he's voting like a guy from Wall Street who drives around in a Limo." Images shift from Brown's campaign ad of him in his green GMC truck, to one of a stretch limousine driving through Times Square. The ad will run in the Boston media market starting tonight on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Twice over the past two days, Brown has voted against bringing debate to the Senate floor. They will vote again this afternoon, although there are no indications that Brown will shift. He has said that he supports financial reform, but wants a bipartisan deal that takes into account several of his concerns. "Senator Brown is an independent voice, not a rubber stamp for anyone," Brown's communications director, Gail Gitcho, said in a statement. "Senator Brown believes that we need financial reform - and that it needs to be done in a bi-partisan way that protects the safety of our financial system, as well as the interests of taxpayers and consumers. He is standing with Massachusetts businesses that are opposed to the bill as written." President Obama's campaign network, Organizing for America, has started sending out emails to Massachusetts supporters, encouraging them to contact Brown and urge him to switch his vote. Others are also using the imagery of Brown's truck -- which played a major role in his campaign -- juxtaposed to a limo. Another group, Americans for Financial Reform, sent a limousine to Brown's office in Boston yesterday to "take him to Wall Street to huddle with his big banker buddies." "Does he plan on turning in his pickup for a limousine?" said Rich Rogers, of the Greater Boston Labor Council. "It's hard to believe anyone could side with Wall Street given the pain they have inflicted on millions while lining their own pockets." They have also taken Brown to task for taking campaign donations from financial executives in the final days of his special election in January. Brown has said previously that he didn't pay attention to where the money was coming from because he was focused on his job. "After taking money hand over fist from Wall Street banks during his campaign, it doesn't look very good that Senator Scott Brown is now shielding these same banks from accountability," Tom McMahon, acting executive director of Americans United for Change. "The Wall Street banks got their money's worth with Senator Brown and bonus checks are no doubt in the mail." Matt Viser can be reached at [email protected].

Scott Brown is the target of a new ad. Washington (CNN) - Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, who made his pickup truck a successful campaign prop earlier this year, is being accused by a liberal interest group of trading it in for a limousine following his votes against moving forward on the Democrat's financial reform bill. Americans United for Change makes the charge against the new Republican senator in a 15 second TV commercial<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loUcjq4VWdA> set to run over two days on three Boston area cable channels: CNN, FOX and MSNBC, an Americans United spokesman tells CNN. The ad, which the spokesman acknowledged is a small buy, will begin airing on Wednesday. "When Scott Brown ran for Senate he said he was a guy from Wrentham, Massachusetts that rode around in a truck," an announcer says. "Now he's voting like a guy from Wall Street who drives around in a limo. Tell Scott Brown to stop voting with Wall Street. Time to hold the big banks accountable." Gail Gitcho, Brown's spokeswoman, took issue with the ad saying it is false to say that Brown opposes financial reform as well as the accusation his campaign was fueled by special interests. She noted that 150,000 people donated to his campaign, with the average donation less than $100. Brown raised $14 million in his successful bid to fill the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat. "Senator Brown is an independent voice, not a rubber stamp for anyone," Gitcho said. "Senator Brown believes that we need financial reform - and that it needs to be done in a bipartisan way that protects the safety of our financial system, as well as the interests of taxpayers and consumers. He is standing with Massachusetts businesses that are opposed to the bill as written. Senator Brown is not voting against financial reform, instead he is voting for Republicans and Democrats to continue bipartisan negotiations to come up with a compromise bill." Brown's win was a huge victory for Republicans who now have the 41 votes needed to sustain a filibuster in the Senate. Democrats are expected to spend large amounts of money to try and defeat Brown, who's expected to run for a full six year term in 2012.

Scott Brown, financial regulatory reform and his pickup truck in a new ad running in the Boston area. The group has run other ads in support of the financial regulatory overhaul on national cable networks. "When Scott Brown ran for Senate he said he was a guy from Wrentham, Mass., who rode around in a truck. Now he's voting like a guy from Wall Street who drives around in a limo. Tell Scott Brown to stop voting with Wall Street. Time to hold the big banks accountable." The ad may be most notable for the faux Boston accent used in the voiceover. "Senator Brown is an independent voice, not a rubber stamp for anyone," Brown spokesman Colin Reed said in a statement responding to the ad. "Senator Brown believes that we need financial reform - and that it needs to be done in a bipartisan way that protects the safety of our financial system, as well as the interests of taxpayers and consumers. He is standing with Massachusetts businesses that are opposed to the bill as written. Senator Brown is not voting against financial reform, instead he is voting for Republicans and Democrats to continue bipartisan negotiations to come up with a compromise bill."

"After taking money hand over fist from Wall Street banks during his campaign, it doesn't look very good that Senator Scott Brown is now shielding these same banks from accountability for their recklessness that collapsed the financial system and left 8 million Americans without jobs," Tom McMahon, Acting Executive Director for Americans United for Change said in a statement announcing the ad. McMahon continued: "The longer Senator Brown and his Republican colleagues delay Wall Street reform and refuse to even allow a debate, the greater the risk of another financial collapse that will cost more jobs on Main Street." [cid:[email protected]] Scott Brown Targeted in Wall St. Filibuster > http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dc/2010/04/scott-brown-targeted-in-wall-s.html By Michael McAuliff There are a handful of prospects for Democrats to break the GOP filibuster of the Wall Street reform package, and Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is one. So today, the Dem-linked Americans United for Change is firing up an ad back in the Bay State aimed at raising the pressure on Brown. You might call it cheeky, what with alleging Brown has traded in his famous pick-up for a limo. Incidentally, according to OpenSecrets, Brown has raised about $1 million<http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?cycle=Career&cid=N00031174&type=I> from the finance, insurance and real estate sector, before the most recent quarter. And that prompts AUC boss Tm McMahon to argue: "After taking money hand over fist from Wall Street banks during his campaign, it doesn't look very good that Sen. Scott Brown is now shielding these same banks from accountability for their recklessness that collapsed the financial system and left 8 million Americans without jobs.
