Super PAC targets Canseco over middle class tax bill
San Antonio Express News 1/11/12
WASHINGTON — A “Super PAC” with ties to organized labor is airing radio advertisements in San Antonio challenging Republican Rep. Francisco “Quico” Canseco's voting record on the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that the congressman's campaign on Wednesday called “absolutely wrong.”
Canseco, R-San Antonio, is being targeted by national Democrats who see the swing district seat as part of their strategy to win back the House of Representatives.
The Latino Project of The American Worker Political Action Committee, funded by unlimited contributions under Federal Election Commission rules that designate it as a “Super PAC,” is airing 60-second ads in English and Spanish on three San Antonio radio stations attacking Canseco's voting record.
“Times are tough, and millionaire bank executive Quico Canseco, well, he appears to be confused on who he works for in Congress,” says the radio ad narrative.
“Congressman Quico Canseco just voted for a $1,000 payroll tax increase for middle class workers and small businesses,” the ad states, ending with the charge that the congressman is “cutting his taxes and raising ours.”

Great! Keep that national money flowing into Texas. We need every little bit of help we can get!
Oh and Canseco you're fired!
