Here are the texts of the other two ads:
DENNIS KUCINICH VO: Health Care is a Human Right! 45 million Americans have zero health coverage. 30 million have only minimal coverage and those with insurance pay sky-high prices due to a greedy profit-driven system. As president I will establish a not for profit National Health Care plan for everyone. No paying through the nose, no one left behind to die -- so doctors and patients can stop living in fear.
FEMALE VO: Kucinich for President. America, it's time for a second opinion.
DENNIS KUCINICH ON CAMERA: I'm Dennis Kucinich and I'm running for president. Do I approve this commercial? You bet!
DENNIS KUCINICH VO: Buy American...or Bye-Bye America! NAFTA and the WTO have enriched multinational corporations while severely harming American workers. Today, it is impossible to pass "Buy American" laws. It is urgent we rebuild our industries and save American jobs. My first action as president will be to cancel NAFTA and the WTO!
FEMALE VO: With your vote Kucinich will create jobs, here in America.
DENNIS KUCINICH ON CAMERA: I'm Dennis Kucinich and I'm running for president. Do I approve this commercial? Every word!
