Blueprint

Americans United for Change, a labor group, is beginning a “six-figure” buy for national cable TV stations to focus on several states whose lawmakers may be critical to providing votes that back the president’s plans. Jeremy Funk, a spokesman for the group, said the initial buy was about $350,000 and could double as the ad campaign runs through the time of the budget negotiations. The labor group’s ad highlights economic worries. Titled “Blueprint,” the ad closes by saying: “Call Congress. Tell them you support President Obama’s budget. Let’s all get to work rebuilding America.”
