There is little debate that the leadership of the House — lead by Nancy Pelosi — has successfully convinced vulnerable Democrats to walk the plank on issues like the government takeover of our health care system, trillions in wasteful spending, bailouts and even cutting food stamps to funnel tax dollars to the teachers’ unions. But for some members, it is the Cap and Trade tax that may turn out to be the anchor around their electoral necks. Look no further than Ohio and Reps. Zack Space and John Boccieri.
Reps. Space and Boccieri voted with Nancy Pelosi and against their districts by supporting the Cap and Tax bill and are now paying the price. A reader just sent us a copy of this incredibly effective ad that is now running in two districts in Ohio:
The ad reminds voters of the issues at stake — the budget, securing our borders, reckless growth of government and the cost of the Cap and Tax bill – and in Ohio Cap and Tax is a huge liability. Ohio is already experiencing some of the highest unemployment rates in the country (10.4%) and Cap and Tax would send upwards of 100,000 Ohio jobs overseas. The bill would damage the state so much that even the State Senate has gone on record opposing the bill.
Some third party groups often put up issue ads that do more harm than good. This is not the case. Take the ad and send it around.
