Crosshairs!
Gerlach has a bit of a target on his back from the DCCC.
During this phase of the campaign, the DCCC is taking the message of middle class tax cuts and economic recovery directly to Republican Members by mounting a major grassroots campaign that includes phone calls, e-mails, and text messages directly to targeted Republicans' constituents.
The targeted districts are:
Representative Judy Biggert (IL-13)
Representative Ken Calvert (CA-44)
Representative Michael Castle (DE-AL)
Representative Charlie Dent (PA-15)
Representative Jim Gerlach (PA-06)
Representative Mark Kirk (IL-10)
Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-09)
Representative Dan Lungren (CA-03)
Representative Thad McCotter (MI-11)
Representative Adam Putnam (FL-12)
Representative Dave Reichert (WA-08)
Representative Pete Sessions (TX-32)
The script for the calls:
Hello, I'm calling on behalf of House Democrats with an important message about the economy.
Did you know Congressman Jim Gerlach voted against President Obama's economic recovery plan, endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce? Gerlach's empty rhetoric can't hide that he voted to raise the AMT tax on 22 million middle class Americans and against the largest tax cut in history.
Call Gerlach at 734-632-0314 to ask why he voted to raise taxes on middle class families.
