Anti-Daschle ad ties bill to Indian unemployment


A television ad sponsored by the Coalition For The Future American Worker accuses Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) of ignoring the high unemployment rate of Native Americans in South Dakota.

Daschle sponsored a bill with Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) affecting immigrant rights. The ad claims the bill will "give away jobs here at home" even "When Native American workers in South Dakota already face up to seventy-five percent unemployment.."

Daschle's lawyer asked television stations to pull the ad, claiming it was inaccurate. The stations said they will continue to run it.
