Tom DeLay Scandal: Reps. Blunt, Nussle, and Gerlach hit with ads

Press Release:

Public Campaign, a nonpartisan money and politics watchdog group, will launch television advertisements in three congressional districts tomorrow to build pressure on Republican members of Congress to demand Majority Leader Tom DeLay's resignation. The ads will run in:

-- The 7th Congressional District of Missouri, currently represented by Majority Whip Roy Blunt

-- The 6th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, currently represented by Rep. Jim Gerlach

-- The 1st Congressional District of Iowa, currently represented by Rep. Jim Nussle

"With Rep. Chris Shays' courageous statement yesterday calling on Tom DeLay to step down, we are turning up the heat on Republican members to join him," said David Donnelly, National Campaigns director of Public Campaign. "DeLay's big money scandals and cash-and-carry politics should be repudiated by elected officials everywhere."

Great Catch on the story! This is a fine example of a PAC making a really small amount of money go even farther by :
A. Using it in smaller markets
B. Leveraging the media buy into News Coverage

I've used this story to create a new Podcast to illustrate the last two PAC Pod/blogcasts at The Insurgent Political Campaign. Thanks for the great example. And The Political Dogfight has the full story with a request for donations to the PAC involved.
