Americans United For Change Targeting 13 GOP Sens
Expanding on a state-by-state ad campaign that aims to move GOP votes on the stimulus package, Americans United for Change, the coalition of progressive groups, is airing two new TV spots targeting Sens. Dick Lugar (R-IN) and Kit Bond (R-MO).
The group is also airing three new radio ads targeting Sens. Jim Bunning (R-KY), Richard Burr (R-NC) and Mel Martinez (R-FL).
With this latest round of ads, the campaign is reaching the constituents of 13 of 41 senators -- or a third of the caucus.
The Bond spot is up in Jefferson City and St. Louis; the Lugar ad is up in Indianapolis. The Burr radio spot is up in Greensboro/Winston-Salem, while the radio ad gunning for Bunning is up in Louisville. Orlando listeners will hear the Martinez spot.
The ads are paid for by AUFC, MoveOn, AFSCME and SEIU as part of their campaign to pass the Obama plan with bipartisan support.
