Palin eyes ‘Take Back the 20′ targets (Targeting 20 House Democrats Who Backed The Health Care Legislation)
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is commemorating the six-month anniversary of the passage of health care reform with a new campaign targeting 20 House Democrats who backed the legislation.
Palin has launched “Take Back the 20,” an online effort in which she asks supporters to join her “in standing against those who stood with Obama and Pelosi in voting for this disastrous bill.”
The campaign focuses on Democrats from 20 districts John McCain won in 2008 – with Palin urging, “Now we can vote against them.”
On Palin’s target list is a slate of vulnerable freshmen Democrats, including Florida Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, Arizona Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, Colorado Rep. Betsy Markey, Ohio Rep. John Boccieri, Pennsylvania Rep. Kathleen Dahlkemper, and Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello.
But Palin is also taking fire at a handful of vulnerable Democratic veterans, including Florida Rep. Allen Boyd, Indiana Rep. Baron Hill, South Carolina Rep. John Spratt, and West Virginia Rep. Nick Rahall.
The former GOP vice-presidential contender is also wading into several open seat races, including Arkansas 2nd District, Indiana’s 8th District, Tennessee’s 6th District, and West Virginia’s 1st District.
The site allows supporters to connect with the Facebook and Twitter pages of the GOP candidates in each targeted race and invites them to contribute to Sarah PAC, her political action committee.
Palin announced the launch of the site on her Twitter page, writing: “Lies, Damned Lies – Obamacare 6 Months Later; It’s Time to Take Back the 20!”
