Majority Action today launched its first Internet ad criticizing Congressman James Walsh (NY-25) for his false claims on a radio call-in show in New York (WXXI 1370 AM "The Connection").  On talk radio show just a few days ago, Representative Walsh claimed that he never voted against the minimum wage, though he is on record doing so eight times.  He also refused to take responsibility for voting himself a pay raise while denying other New Yorkers a helping hand.  

Majority Action refused to let him get away with it...

Caller: "What about $5.25?  Why aren't you pushing for a better ..."
Walsh: "What is $5.25?"
Caller: "That's the national minimum wage."
Walsh: "I've never voted against the minimum wage.  That's not true."  

Actually, Walsh voted against raising the minimum wage EIGHT TIMES.

Caller: "You also voted to give yourself a raise during that same time period."
Walsh: "No.  Our pay raise is automatic."

As a matter of fact, Walsh voted to increase his pay SIX TIMES.

Typical Republican priorities: raise their own pay, refuse to bring the rest of America along with them.

Majority Action, which has already been the first group to incorporate text messaging into its television ads, began a series of Internet video releases today.
