Washington Post: AFP asks “Why won’t Critz Sign the Pledge?”

May 11, 2010

Another conservative independent group, Americans for Prosperity, is up with television ads in the district that hit former congressional aide Mark Critz (D) on his position on energy policy.

“Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are pushing a huge energy tax in their global warming bill that will drive up gas prices and utility bills and cost Pennsylvania jobs,” says the ad’s narrator. “But Mark Critz won’t sign the no climate tax pledge to oppose these taxes and protect Pennsylvania jobs.” The narrator goes on to urge Critz to “oppose the Obama/Pelosi hidden energy tax”.

The AFP ad is running in the Johnstown market only.
