DCCC Ads Call Out Republicans for Protecting Insurance Companies Over Middle Class
Republicans are losing ground and on defense in the health care battle after voting for the 33rd time yesterday to protect their own taxpayer-funded health care and the profits of their insurance company campaign donors -- instead of protecting patients and creating middle class jobs.
The DCCC continues on offense with an aggressive campaign of advertising targeting vulnerable House Republicans. Watch one of our latest ads:
Your grassroots support is making the difference: The DCCC raised $2.3 million in the three-day period from the U.S. Supreme Court ruling through the June 30th Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline and June 30th was the single biggest grassroots fundraising day in DCCC history. As of today, over 550,000 supporters have signed the DCCC's petition in support of historic health care reform.
