Cassaro becomes third Democratic Senate candidate on TV

Focusing on the economy and name recognition, Prospect physician and Democratic Senate candidate Mike Cassaro has joined the Senate race ad war just days before the May 20 Democratic primary.

Cassaro's campaign is airing two different ads this weekend on networks in Louisville and Lexington. The ads are expected to run through Monday.

The two thirty-second spots on the air are entitled "Who is Mike Cassaro?" and "On the Economy." They are available for viewing on Cassaro's website. (The ads airing are the two videos side-by-side in the middle of the front page).

"Who is Mike Cassaro?" introduces the candidate as a "family man," "church-goer, physician, educator, and businessman.

The campaign's spot on the economy blames a "weak dollar" on President George W. Bush and Kentucky's Republican incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) - who will face the winner of the Democratic primary in November.

The second ad claims Cassaro will "penalize" corporations outsourcing jobs from Kentucky.

Cassaro joins fellow Democratic candidates Greg Fischer and Bruce Lunsford as the only candidates in the seven-man field on the air.

Lunsford was shown up twenty points over Fischer in the Lexington Herald-Leader's latest poll at 43 to 23 percent, while Cassaro pulled just 5 percent support.

Voices
When many voices cry out;
Let them not be forgotten.
If you see the writing on the wall;
Let them not be forgotten.
You that hears and says nothing;
Let them not be forgotten.
Less you miss the teachings of the future.
Let them not be forgotten. 01/02/2006

Your Needs

"Your Needs" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)

Your Needs
You that mock me;
Spoke in tongues not known to me.
You that watched me carry a heavy load when part of it was yours and others.
You that saw me sweat.
It was all me.
Now I watch you. 09/05/2001

Wonder

"Wonder" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)

Wonder
You that wonders;
Always going somewhere
Sometimes oblivious of the goings on of others
Doing your own thing in your environment
I sometimes wonder who you answer to
It seems you please yourself and maintain an air of invincibility
And yet very gracious and smooth
Yes, I admire you and all your mysteries. 18/05/2001

The Fruit

The Fruit
As I sit here eating this rather delicious fruit with it's tropical flavour;
One can not help but feel Yes
This fruit, this produce, this banana grown by the Caribbean continent in great hardship with expectations of fair play.
But No.
This Fruit, and others like, are used to suppress, to slow down,
sometimes even to break a nation,
A continent; A people.
So I eat you knowing your worth. 06/06/2001

This Day

"This Day" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)

This Day
A day for all to search their conscience;
To decide whether they want social justice for all.
Starting from the bottom.
To raise heads and dreams.
A day which many have paid the ultimate price for.
So it is,
I shall make my mark for all the hopes and dreams of the young and old
And maybe somewhere along the line
I shall rejoice in their future. 07/06/2001

The Vanity

"The Vanity" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)

The Vanity
How often we seek to have the latest items?
The most fashionable garments that complement the shape and structure of our body
With a hint of desire in our expression. What a price?
What heart ache?
What expense?
What a waste of time?
As we are all born naked with no positions what so ever.
What is inside and the body to carry us and yet everybody is loved unconditionally.
Be true to yourself.
