A campaign to unseat U.S. Senator Harry Reid in the upcoming 2010 congressional elections will be launched today – May 25th – in Nevada. The “Defeat Harry Reid” campaign is being launched by the Our Country Deserves Better PAC (http://www.OurCountryDeservesBetter.com), one of the nation’s largest conservative political action committees, with several thousand members who reside in Nevada.

The campaign will include a television, radio, and Internet advertising blitz throughout the state of Nevada reminding voters that Harry Reid has stiffed taxpayers with huge government bailouts and wasteful pork-barrel spending. Also, Reid’s attempts to cut off funding for U.S. troops, insults towards General David Petraeus (calling him “a liar”), and declaration that our troops’ missions in the War on Terror were “lost” will also be cited in the ad campaign.

The initial wave of the “Defeat Harry Reid” advertising campaign will total over $100,000. Our Country Deserves Better PAC will additionally spend in excess of $1 million against Reid between now and the Nov. 2010 congressional elections.

The campaign will be unveiled today at a press conference in Reno, NV and tomorrow at a press conference in Las Vegas, NV. Attending the press conferences will be:

• Mark Williams: Radio talk show host who serves as Vice Chair of the Our Country Deserves Better PAC.
• Deborah Johns: Pro-troop activist who service as a Vice Chair of the Our Country Deserves Better PAC.
• Sharron Angle: Four-time State Assemblywoman who announced her intention to challenge Reid in 2010.
• Don Gustavson: State Assemblyman from Sparks, Nevada.
• Michele Turner: President, Nevada Republican Women.

On Tuesday, May 26th there will be a protest against Harry Reid outside of the fundraiser being hosted for him by President Barack Obama at Caeser’s Palace Colosseum. The protest will take place from 5:00pm-6:30pm.
