A new $200,000 radio ad campaign launched Friday, pressuring five key Republican senators to vote against the last-ditch effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
The ads are funded by the Community Catalyst Action Fund and are running on radio stations in the home states of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), John McCain (R-AZ), Rob Portman (R-OH), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Susan Collins (R-ME) as well as in Washington, D.C. for the next week.
The group sponsoring the advertisement calls the Graham-Cassidy legislation the most destructive repeal plan thats been introduced in Congress to date. A Senate vote on the bill could come next week ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline for passing Obamacare repeal via simple majority vote.
Theres an old saying: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results, the narrator says at the start of the radio ads, which are similar in each state and in D.C. Well, thats what congressional leaders are doing right now pushing another bad health care bill.
