AUC Ad Thanks Members For Backing Energy Bill

Beginning tomorrow, Americans United for Change will air television ads thanking House members for backing the Obama energy bill. The members cast a tough vote for a variety of reasons. Some represent coal country, for example, while others hail from GOP-leaning districts.

AUC's budget is $150K; the spots will run 7/7-7/10. The ad, dubbed "Uniquely American," heralds the bill as a clean energy job creation initiative.

AUC's appreciation will be expressed to these Reps.:

John Boccieri (OH-16)

Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15)

Steve Driehaus (OH-1)

Mark Schauer (MI-7)

Betsy Markey (CO-4)

Baron Hill (IN-9)

Ben Chandler (KY-6)

Frank Kratovil (MD-1)

Dan Maffei (NY-25)

Mike Doyle (PA-14)

Tom Perriello (VA-5)

Rick Boucher (VA-9)

The Kratovil version of the ad can be viewed above. In NH, the group is running a more generic version of the spot aimed at thanking Reps. Paul Hodes (NH-2) and Carol Shea-Porter (NH-1).
