A new low for the Chamber of Commerce. They run an ad with a Democratic candidates home phone #

[TheBigotBasher]

Wisconsin Democratic congressional candidate Julie Lassa is calling on her opponent to denounce a new attack ad by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that displays her home phone number and tells viewers to call and tell her to "stop voting for job-killing tax hikes."

"Sean Duffy's special interest backers crossed a line in their attacks that put Julie and her family at risk to harassment and abuse," Lassa campaign Manager Rick Fromberg said in a statement. "Sean Duffy should let it be known to his outside special interest groups that there is no place for these kinds of attacks in Wisconsin elections."

According to a person close to the Lassas, the family had to unplug their phones the day the ad went up and her two daughters can no longer answer the phones because of all the calls.

The ad points to Lassa's votes to raise taxes and displays her phone number on screen at the very end. A spokesman for the Chamber pointed out that Lassa's home phone number is already publicly available on her state legislature home page, listed as her "district telephone." When The Huffington Post followed up and asked whether the Chamber knew that that number was actually her home phone, we did not receive a response.

These people are nothing but thugs with money.

1. I would say that Julie Lassa must be a pretty down-to-earth politician,

if she lists her home phone as her district telephone. Hope that she's successful in her run for Congress.

2. We have to take America back from these people.

At every chance they get, they try to cheat, lie, swindle their way into more money.

and sod the consequences.
