Assuming that most MinnPost readers don't see as many political press releases as I do, I hoped some of you might find it interesting to read, verbatim,  this one, from today, bearing the headline that is on this post.

"For Immediate Release: March 4, 2010

Washington- The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has launched targeted phone calls today alerting Minnesota voters and taxpayers to the seriousness of the Democrats’ job-killing government takeover of healthcare while sending a loud and clear signal to Democrat Tim Walz that his support for the Obama-Pelosi healthcare agenda is politically toxic. The majority of American voters want the Democrats to scrap their partisan healthcare bill and start over with reforms that will lower costs, but Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are counting on Walz's vote to ram their reckless healthcare agenda through Congress. These targeted calls are the first paid media for the NRCC’s “Project Code Red,” an aggressive multi-front communications effort to force vulnerable Democrats to go on the record on whether they stand with American voters or Washington party bosses when it comes to the Democrat healthcare agenda.

“Democrat Walz's continued support for his party’s wildly unpopular agenda has put him squarely at odds with Minnesota families,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “As unemployment statewide is stagnant, struggling Minnesota taxpayers cannot afford a big-government healthcare agenda that will kill jobs, hike taxes, and raise prices. These targeted phone calls will alert Minnesota families that Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are gunning for Walz's vote on their partisan healthcare push even though it will stand in the way of economic recovery and has already been rejected by the majority of the American public. While Democrat party bosses are eager to continue to ram their reckless healthcare bill through Congress at any cost, it appears that Tim Walz needs a wake-up call from the folks he is supposed to represent.”

Tim Walz has a risky decision to make: He can stand up for struggling Minnesota families who have already rejected this radical, partisan healthcare legislation or he can stand with the Democrat party’s brazen disregard for the will of the American people and pay a price in November.

Targeted phone call script below:

“Hello I’m calling from the NRCC with a code red alert about an impending healthcare vote in Congress. Even though a majority of Minnesota voters want them to scrap it, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are planning to ram their dangerous, out-of-control healthcare spending bill through Congress anyway. What’s worse, Congressman Tim Walz voted for this bill the last time it was up and might vote for it AGAIN. Walz already voted for a bill that will kill jobs, raise the costs of healthcare, and increase taxes.  Tim Walz should be focusing on creating jobs, yet he might be the deciding vote that causes this massive new spending bill to pass. Please call Tim Walz now at 202-225-2472 before it is too late and tell him to vote no on Nancy Pelosi's dangerous healthcare scheme.
