As House Republicans spend their fourth day protesting a lack of action on energy prices, Freedom's Watch is taking aim at incumbent Democrats Nancy Boyda of Kansas; Don Cazayoux from Louisiana; Texan Nick Lampson; Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire; and Chris Carney of Pennsylvania. Ads against the five endangered members will try to tie them to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and drilling bans on the Outer-Continental Shelf and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Freedom's Watch is doing what it can to protect some Republican incumbents too, targeting four Democratic challengers who look strong at the moment. Challengers to Reps. Bill Sali, in Idaho, Sam Graves, in Missouri, Michigan's Tim Walberg and Randy Kuhl of New York are hit by the same advertisements. Two open seats in Ohio and one in New Mexico, all three seats in which Democrats have a better than even chance of taking a Republican-held seat, are also getting advertisements.
The ads, each of which has an unique script, are mostly running on radio stations through the districts. Spots against Boyda are up on Kansas broadcast television, while the shots at Lampson are on cable television in his suburban Houston district.
Freedom's Watch spokesman Ed Patru said the ads would run for two weeks, and while he wouldn't reveal the amount of money the group spent, he said the ads are not just for show. "The buys are substantial enough to have an impact," Patru said in an e-mail.

Wish they would run the ads in my district. My congresscritter is Patrick Murphy and he is nothing but a lapdog for Pelosi and a cheerleader for Obama.
Oh My Gosh! That ‘Son of a Beach’ ad is a riot! LOL!
send them some cash and a suggestion about your Congresscritter. It could help. but it will certainly help us win other races which helps us overall since Congress is a zero sum game.
Right next to you in Montco -— Alyson Schwartz is just as bad.
The complete stupidity of the rats is amazing. Not only have they painted themselves into a corner on the energy mess but they have recessed and given the GOP 5 weeks to run ads and pound them on the issue while they (the rats) can’t even put together some fake legislation to give the appearance they are doing something about it. If the GOP is even moderately effective in running these ads in closely contested districts the return of congress in September may well be too late to save the situation for the rats who are at risk. Thank you Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid.
