(CNN) - A conservative women's advocacy group on Wednesday announced a major ad buy aimed against President Barack Obama's sweeping health care reform.

Concerned Women for America said it's dropping a whopping $6 million on a commercial that will begin airing Wednesday nationwide on cable and in six key swing states.

"Everyone agreed we needed reforms - but this new health care law - it just isn't fixing things," Siems says in the ad, adding that the law will pile billions onto the federal deficit and increase government regulation.

The six states in the ad buy include Minnesota, New Mexico, and Wisconsin-three states that lean toward Obama, according to CNN's Electoral Map. The ad will also run in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Virginia, all of which fall under the "toss-up" category, according to CNN analysis.

Bev LaHey's ultra-backwards group, who believes the United States should be run by Bible. Fuck these anti-choice, anti-gay Schlaflyist hate peddlers.

6. I'll never in my life understand how we successfully convinced people in this country to vote against their best interests.

And "Concerned Women For America" is one such group - how can these people be so dumb and blind as to buy into talking points without realizing how dangerous it is to mix religion with politics?

3. Want to bet the men funded it, and are using "women" as their cover?

I wonder if the "Concerned Women for America" is like that fraudulent Facebook "Concerned Mothers" group - made up of maybe a dozen women and a few thousand guys hiding behind the curtain.

5. Concerned Women for America has been around since 1979, founded by

Beverly LaHaye, wife of the author of the 'Left Behind' series of books. In other words, it's another of the RW christian nutcase organizations.
