"We're still teaching because of Harry Reid. That's the power he has," says Zick, who is the sole star of the 30-second TV commercial.
But, it turns out, Zick's specific job wasn't on the chopping block. That's not mentioned in the ad, which gives the impression the stimulus kept Zick in the classroom with her kids.
Ronzone Elementary School in Las Vegas where Zick teaches didn't get any of the $445 million in education money that went to Nevada as part of the big stimulus package.
And the elementary school didn't lay off any of its 65 teachers, according to the principal.
