Now another business owner who has a message -- our -- for President Obama Denver Rosie McDonald doesn't want the president to use video of her store -- campaign -- she says your daily proceeds ended up in the ad without her permission take a look.
Those ads taking my words about small business out of context and their flat out -- of course Americans build their own businesses.
Every day hardworking people sacrifice to meet -- payroll and create jobs and make our economy Iraq.
So widest -- drowsy McDonnell won her store out of the -- she joins us nice to -- -- Thank you grant for having neon.
I don't have been a good and I hadn't.
It it.
This in this ad was and his dad was kind of sprung on us.
We didn't know anything about it my manager was told that.
This gentleman was doing this survey on.
Riot doors -- the security doors -- come down around the the story in case said that when -- -- close.
She didn't think much about it a month later I got a call from an employee and said.
Jazz -- You're in an Obama commercial.
And I thought -- no.
Because it this business -- been nonpartisan for sixteen years strata.
And -- -- -- -- policy not to talk politics.
With our customer base because that's not what we're selling it -- -- -- in the market.
Whereas whereas small specialties.
Cheese and -- -- store it's not a political platform.
Now -- the as I understand this this footage this store its stock footage to campaign didn't shoot at somebody else should I shot an apparently.
Gave it to the care so that the campaign is that how you understand it.
And that's how I understand that I you know -- quite honestly I don't care if it was if its stock footage or any kind of footage.
I feel as though we should have been contacted.
And it can be made clear what this it was.
Going to be used war.
Eat cat and the -- -- still longer running.
In Ohio or any place as far as you know right.
Right it's it's and now it's gone viral it's on YouTube.
But the reason I was upset initially.
We got reaction.
From the local did the buyers that the customers that.
Come down -- regularly.
We got immediate reaction and that reaction was negative.
So I really had to take a stance.
I tried to reach out to the local DNC.
To have them at least pays out crowds he's.
So.
That part of the ad wouldn't be a concern for my customers.
Are -- Safe to me crazy to me that if they if the stock video had been purchased not by the Obama campaign but the Romney camp made would you of had the same objection.
I would I would draft.
This is as I said in the beginning this isn't this is a nonpartisan.
Business and we don't talk politics on either side.
So.
Yes.
I would have to say that.
I -- -- -- mistake that very.
I have to make that very clear to my customers because they don't believe that they.
They don't believe that this is nonpartisan they made they believe that because -- objecting to.
This Obama campaign with my name.
And plastered all over for ten seconds.
-- they now think that I'm not a Romney supporter I'm I'm really trying to stay neutral on this.
And I just want to make it clear that who moved my manager was misled.
These.
Local DNC.
Representative has.
-- calls her basically a liar in the Cincinnati Enquirer and I just wanna come to her defense that she was not told that she was she was misled.
Completely makes it.
And -- I'm just understand and it wasn't the DNC it for the Obama campaign that shot the video but an intermediary somebody else.
It's shot the video and did -- not -- from then -- to do that it mean that they -- they -- -- your store on the Obama campaign and -- that right.
No this was there and this was just it.
A general.
A general joke coming in the store saying I'm doing a survey on riot doors.
Do you mind if side and I have to make it clear that that is not one of my employees opening up that door that is and that isn't.
One of his people -- Just in the city cancellation lot of journalists are being used an ads -- -- they're not happy about it either have been part of the so that as studies is a lot people of feel likewise.
That are being used in any of these ads.
Deborah thank you -- for joining us.
Thank you to Greta.
