ID-01: New TV Ad
Andrew Roth
The Club for Growth PAC will begin airing this TV ad tomorrow in Idaho's 1st district.
Liberal Tax and Spend Democrats Featured in New Campaign Ad
WASHINGTON, DC - Opening a new front in the fall elections, liberal representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Charles Rangel (D-NY) are featured prominently in a campaign advertisement funded by the political arm of the influential Club for Growth. Pelosi and Rangel would become Speaker of the House and Chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee respectively should Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives. Rangel said recently that Democrats would raise taxes if he became Chairman.
"Take home pay, jobs and economic growth are on the ballot this November, and putting liberals in charge of the purse strings would threaten all of them. The liberal tax hike agenda is clear: no more $1,000 per child tax credit, raise tax rates across the board, bring the death tax back from the grave, and jack up the costs of investing. That's a recipe for economic disaster, and voters should think twice before giving them control," said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth.
The advertisement will begin to air Saturday in Idaho's 1st Congressional district, where Republican Bill Sali is running against Democrat Larry Grant for the seat being vacated by Butch Otter, who is running for Governor. The ad is a 1,000 point media buy costing $168,000. The Club for Growth PAC has endorsed Mr. Sali in the race.
The Club for Growth PAC is considering running similar advertisements across the country.

ID-01: Letter to the Editor
Andrew Roth
Dale at the Right Mind blog alerts us to this letter to the editor of the Lewistown Tribune in Idaho. The Club for Growth PAC endorsed Bill Sali for the open seat in the 1st congressional district.
The continuing disparagement of Bill Sali and his run for a seat in Congress provides great evidence of the bias found on these pages. The editors have belittled Mr. Sali's candidacy from the start of the primaries and have never let up. In the politically correct world of the Tribune, where socialists are called moderates and anyone more conservative than George Will is a right-wing fanatic, it is hard for them to accept that Bill is leading in this race.
It's a given that we will all hear how Bill Sali is "a bully" and "difficult to work with" a few more times before the election, but have the editors ever considered the fact that maybe the voters of this district want someone who tells you what he's going to do -- and then does it? That's how Mr. Sali got re-elected to the Legislature so many times. Maybe I want someone who's going to be a junkyard dog when it comes to protecting my freedoms, and my taxes. I think the good folks of the 1st District need a watchdog like Bill Sali, who will stand up to the Insider agenda, rather than a lapdog to Nancy Pelosi as Larry Grant is sure to be.
Bill Sali's principled platform of sensible immigration reform, fiscal sanity and protection of our liberties will come together with those of many other like-minded House members (both Democrat and Republican) to truly change this country for the better. I want my vicar and my mayor to be nice guys, but I'll take a fighter for my congressman.
