The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching an online ad campaign Thursday accusing 27 House Republicans of backing millionaires over the middle class by refusing to take action to stop sequestration.

The web ads, which will be promoted with ad buys online but will not air on TV, urge constituents to call their representative and tell them that “it’s time to put the middle class ahead of millionaires.” The ads warn about the serious harm that sequestration could cause and claim it is the tea party-faction of Congress that is forcing the cuts to take place.

Watch one of the ads:

·         Andy Barr (KY-06)
