DCCC Launch Ads Attacking GOP’s Record on Troops and Veterans

Gearing up for the 2008 election, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee began targeting 14 vulnerable Republican districts this week by launching its Independence Day ad campaign. "Republicans are going home to talk up their support for our nation’s troops and veterans. But, their constituents deserve to know that the Republican record on veterans is all talk and no action," said DCCI Chairman Chris Van Hollen. "America’s troops and veterans deserve more than patriotic speeches this Independence Day."

Republicans’ Dismal Record of Failing Our Troops and Veterans



Touted as a grassroots campaign, the DCCC plans on supplementing the television ads with strategic radio ads, targeted e-mails to 2 million voters, and more than 50,000 telephone calls to voters in the targeted districts.
