Andy Harris released his first TV commercial of the election yesterday to his supporters via email.

"The commercial tells the story of my parents' pursuit of the American Dream," said Andy Harris. "They came to America from Eastern Europe to escape Communism and raise a family. I've carried on that Dream; I became a doctor, served in the Naval Reserves and raised a family.

Now, I feel the American Dream is slipping away. Washington's out-of-control spending and taxation are making the Dream harder to achieve for future generations. The job-killing policies of Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrats - like the so-called economic Stimulus, the Health Care takeover, and the Cap and Trade Energy Tax - do nothing but place the debt of today onto the children of tomorrow. We need to get America back on track so our children can have the same opportunities we've been afforded."

The 30 second ad will air next week in the Salisbury and Baltimore markets.

You can watch the video here.

Andy Harris is a Republican candidate running for Maryland's 1st Congressional District. Harris, a practicing physician, and his wife Cookie have five children. For more information, please visit www.andyharris.com.

TITLE: "American Dream"

TIME: :30

ANNOUNCER: "His parents came to America to escape Communism. All their belongings in a suitcase.

For Andy Harris's family, the promise of freedom paid off. Andy became a doctor. Joined the Navy to give back to America. Raised a family.

ANDY HARRIS: "My family's lived the American Dream. But we're all worried our children won't be able to.

The government spends too much, taxes too much, threatens our liberties.

We have to restore that American dream because the future of our children and country is at stake.

I'm Andy Harris and I approve this message."
