The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), chaired by Congressman Chris Van Hollen, today announced the DCCC is launching the second phase of the Putting Families First campaign on the economic recovery bill by running automated calls in seven targeted Republican freshman districts.  The calls focus on the Republicans' out of step priorities by putting partisan politics before the needs of the jobs in their districts.

Naturally, Leonard Lance (NJ7) is one of the targets of the calls, which go something like this:

Did you know Congressman Leonard Lance voted against economic recovery that would immediately create and save nearly 106,000 New Jersey jobs?

Yes, he did not merely vote to do nothing in a crisis, as I would put it, but against recovery itself.   Come to think of it, it's probably true.

Let me know what you think of the DCCC calls. Are they an important step, a waste of time, or are you just bitter that the calls would have done more good in 2006?
