A new television ad starting today in North Dakota urges citizens to contact Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D) and tell him that they will not forget his vote for the health care takeover. To view the ad, click here.

“Americans opposed a health care takeover, but Earl Pomeroy ignored us and voted with Nancy Pelosi for big-government health care,” the ad says, citing the $1-trillion cost of the overhaul and its tax hikes and Medicare cuts.

“And now, a non-partisan congressional committee says people making less than $200,000 will pay more in taxes. Earl Pomeroy cast his vote. Tell him: North Dakotans won’t forget.”

The $100,000 ad buy will run on network and cable channels in the state for one week. It is part of Americans for Prosperity’s November Is Coming initiative – providing citizens a mechanism to tell their legislators if they vote for freedom-killing legislation, like the government takeover of health care, cap-and-trade, and more bailouts, then citizens will vote against them in November.

“Our elected officials have to know they’re going to be held accountable for their votes,” said Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity. “Their decisions are already killing jobs and raising taxes, and our economy can’t afford it.”

More than 368,000 Americans have signed the November Is Coming petition at www.NovemberIsComing.com telling their elected officials that “If you vote Yes to big government programs or any other freedom-killing legislation, I will vote NO on you in the next election.” The petition goes on to say that the citizen signing the petition will vote against the elected official:

“If you voted yes to the government takeover of health care; vote yes to cap-and-trade energy taxes or fail to stop any related EPA regulation; vote yes to any more bailouts; or fail to stop any attempts to regulate the Internet.”
