Dems target Republicans who voted no on stimulus

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is going after 28 Republicans who voted against the House stimulus package with an advertising and grassroots campaign.

The “Families First” campaign accuses Republicans of putting the needs of banks before the needs of struggling families. It also goes after a handful of Republicans for voting against the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) reauthorization bill.

{mosads}The radio ads will begin to run Tuesday and will last one week. The grassroots aspect will involve contacting 3 million DCCC supporters, with 100,000 person-to-person phone calls.

Among the targets are members of House leadership like Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Pete Sessions (R-Texas), the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Most, however, are considered vulnerable or potential retirees in the 2010 election cycle.
