WASHINGTON - Former presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry is funding a political advertisement in key Republican districts, a move aimed at rallying support for health care coverage for uninsured children.

The ad will begin airing Monday in the home districts of House Republican leader Tom DeLay of Texas and Senate Republican leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, as well the districts of GOP members of the House Commerce and Senate Finance committees. Those districts will be in Pennsylvania, Mississippi and Maine, but the specific media markets were not released.

Kerry spokeswoman Katharine Lister said it will be an aggressive media buy and the ad will run for a week, but she would not disclose the cost. It is being funded by Kerry's political action committee, Keeping America's Promise.

The ad talks about the 11 million children who have no health insurance, and it urges viewers to tell politicians in Washington to support health care legislation for America's kids, legislation Kerry has sponsored. It does not mention Kerry or any of the Republicans by name.

1. Did I mention that I love this

I adore it when the Good Guys go 'in your face' to the Rethugs and challenge them to show some concern in a key area.

This is wonderful. I love this so much that, 'the check is in the mail' folks!

Too bad Kerry has no spine, huh? :sarcasm:

Honestly, this is what I hope they do with the money they are sent. It's wonderful.
