AFF Launches TV Ads in Thirteen States Targeting Liberal Politicians

Ads expose Democrats’ support of Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda

Des Moines, IA—Today, American Future Fund (AFF) launched TV ads in seven Congressional Districts across the country entitled “Trick.”  The ads expose the liberal voting records of Democrat politicians and elected officials across the nation.

The ads released today bring the total current number of AFF ads on air to 14. The ads target liberal politicians in 14 different Congressional Districts in 13 states. AFF has reserved $4 million of airtime in these districts. Those targeted in the ads include:

Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD)

Rep. Chet Edwards (D-TX, District 17)

Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-NM, District 1)

Denny Heck (D-WA, District 3)

Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN, District 9)

Chad Causey (D-AR, District 1)

Rep. Travis Childers (D-MS, District 1)

Rep. John Adler (D-NJ, District 3)

Rep. Mark Schauer (D-MI, District 7)

Rep. John Spratt (D-SC, District 5)

Gary McDowell (D-MI, District 1)

Rep. Jim Marshall (D-GA, District 8)

Mike Oliverio (D-WV, District 1)

Rep. Bobby Bright (D-AL, District 2)

The Congressmen highlighted in the ads have each voted with Pelosi more than 87 percent of the time. Pelosi’s agenda includes a historic amount of wasteful spending and mountainous debt.  She also spearheaded the government-run health plan resulting in $500 billion in Medicare cuts.

But it doesn’t end there. Pelosi also raised the national debt and supported the failed stimulus – a vote that did little more than spend millions of taxpayer dollars.  Not only was the stimulus wasted spending, but Americans still lost nearly 3 million jobs. With these liberals at Pelosi’s side in Washington, the future will be more of the same.

AFF Spokesperson Nick Ryan stated, “Americans are appalled by the reckless spending by Nancy Pelosi and her liberal allies in Congress.  The debt is spiraling out-of-control and unemployment levels are at all-time highs.  Still, Pelosi and her friends do nothing to help Americans.”
