Yesterday, in response to House Republicans voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Daily Kos launched its first effort to run direct paid media. We’re teaming up with Blue America to run radio ads about a particularly gratuitous instance of Republican hypocrisy. Namely, Republican members of Congress accepting government health insurance plans for themselves while voting to cut the health insurance options of their constituents. Take that, socialized medicine!
Here is a sample version of the ad, which can be edited to fit any congressional district in the country:
You guys have come through in a big way on this effort, raising over $17,000 in the first 24 hours. That is quite an auspicious start!
Before we get down to the brass tacks of district targeting and ad placement on Monday, can you chip in $10 to help us reach $20,000? Let’s serve notice to the new Republican House that we can hold them accountable for their hypocrisy.
