DCCC Targets Six Districts - Mine is One!

I'm excited to announce that my district is one of only six nationwide (and the only one here in California) being targeted by the DCCC in a series of radio ads being rolled out next week.

The ads will target Republican members of Congress who opposed the middle class tax cut in President Obama's economic recovery act.  These ads are the DCCC's way of taking the message of middle class tax cuts and economic recovery directly to the public in radio ads called "Tax Man" that will run in the lead up to April 15th (tax day).

My opponent Ken Calvert is one of the six Republicans being targeted for his vote against the middle class tax cut.

This is the fourth phase in the DCCC’s "Putting Families First" campaign and in each of the previous three phases, Mr. Calvert has been included in targeted radio ads highlighting his poor voting record.

At a time when substantive change is required to pull our country out the disastrous economic situation we find ourselves in today, we need our Congressional representatives putting families – not politics – first.

In vote after vote, Mr. Calvert plays politics at the expense of our working families.

When I am your representative in Washington, every vote I cast will be made with your family’s interests first on my mind.

Here's a link to the DCCC site where you can hear the ad and read more about the campaign:  http://dccc.org/blog/archives/dccc_announces_4th_phase_of_the_putting_families_first_campaign
