Dems launch ad campaign targeting gop for avoiding Constituents

"A new ad campaign from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) first reported by CNN will launch this month and target 25 House Republicans who haven't hosted a town hall yet during the August recess. That list includes House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.)"

"If House Republicans are heartless enough to take away health care from their constituents but too scared to face them at public town halls, they don't deserve to be in Congress," Tyler Law told CNN."

Get people thinking dark and suspicious thoughts about their Republican congressmen, and let that ferment for a week or two, then start talking up the Democratic platform and agenda, and how people all across the country like it a lot better than anything the Republicans were trying to slide through.

town hall meetings. Maybe sending in real people to talk to these folks will start swaying some of them to stop voting for idiot repukes.

Rodney Davis is a skeevy little pig to begin with, but even he has sunk to new lows with this. He refuses to hold public town halls but holds PRIVATE ones for people who give him cash.
