A dozen House Republicans are targeted in a new House Democratic political campaign that criticizes the GOP lawmakers for opposing the $787 billion stimulus package.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will contact voters this week by telephone with a recorded message saying that their Republican congressman voted “against the largest tax cut in history,” and against a stimulus bill that the business friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce supported.

The campaign also includes “emails and text messages directly to targeted Republicans’ constituents,” a DCCC official tells CNN. House Democrats have also created a Web site to explain how they believe the stimulus bill will affect individual congressional districts.

Only three congressional Republicans, all senators, voted for the final passage of the stimulus bill.

1. Why are they wasting their time and $ on lame duck Adam Putnam.....?

They wouldn't spend any time advertising against him when he was running against progressive Doug Tudor. Why now?

2. Who are the 7 House Dems who voted against the bill?

Obviously the DCCC is not going to advertise against them but WE can't let them off the hook either.
