Barletta Hits Back

Lou Barletta responded to Rep. Paul Kanjorski's recent commercial with not only a statement, but an online ad of his own.

Regarding Kanjorski's middle class commercial, the Barletta camp stated:
“The congressman portrays himself as representing ‘average’ citizens, but what average citizen received almost $4 million from special interests? The ‘hardworking people he represents’ do not support his re-election efforts, as more than three out of every five campaign dollars he receives come from Washington, D.C., PACs.”

In addition, Barletta launched his own online spot on YouTube. In contrast to the Kanjorski ad in which Kanjorski says nothing, Barletta's spot features the candidate speaking at a local rally. The spot also incorporates the popular "change" theme of the 2008 election cycle.



Several minute-long videos of Barletta talking about various issues (health care, Social Security, and the current credit crisis) were also uploaded.

As the heat begins to break in the weather, the campaign action starts to heat back up.
