(Alexandria, Virginia) – Legendary entertainer and seniors advocate Pat Boone has recorded a message to voters on behalf of Louisiana GOP U.S. Senate candidate Bill Cassidy.
Boone made the recording in his capacity as spokesman for the national non-partisan senior citizen group the 60 Plus Association, which has 7.2 million senior supporters nationally, including more than 109,000 in Louisiana.
The recording can be heard here. The transcript — subject to an occasional Boone ad-lib — is below:
Hello Friend–This is Pat Boone. Yes, the Love Letters in the Sand guy.
I’m still singing at concerts, but today I’m calling on behalf of the 60 Plus Association to sing the praises of Bill Cassidy for U.S. Senate.
We need strong leaders in the U.S. Senate like Bill Cassidy, who understands that Obamacare hurts seniors by cutting Medicare.
Bill Cassidy will fight for a return to the Constitution, and help restore trust in government by fighting to end the runaway spending that is bankrupting our country.
Friends this election is too important to sit out. So please join me, Pat Boone, in supporting a leader Louisiana seniors can trust, Bill Cassidy for Senate.
Thank you and God Bless.
