The American Action Network (@AAN) has launched an online video ad campaign targeting Congressman Collin Peterson (MN-07) and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) with their own Spirit of Health Care Future this Christmas. Click here to watch the Peterson ad and click here to watch the Shea-Porter ad.

With a theme from A Christmas Carol, the independent expenditure ads tell a time-traveled story of what these Obamacare champions are forcing on patients, doctors and families in their communities.

This is AAN’s first campaign against Collin Peterson (MN-07) and is the latest in a series of ads against Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01). The video ads will run through the weekend targeting voters in both congressional districts.

“Obamacare isn’t just a bah-humbug for Christmas now, it’s a nightmare for years to come,” said Brian Walsh, American Action Network President. “Americans deserve a better Christmas present than this disastrous law. The only way to stop the growing health care disaster is by voting out these Obamacare champions in November.”
