The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a new "No New Jobs" ad highlighting GOP Senate candidates' opposition to the recently-passed jobs bill. 

Released late Wednesday:

Via Show Me Progress, the Alliance for Climate Protection and the Climate Protection Action Fund have a cool new ad campaign featuring video messages submitted by Missourians calling for meaningful clean energy and green jobs legislation.   Here's one of several ads:

VoteVets.org is launching a new ad campaign targeting Roy Blunt's opposition to clean energy and jobs legislation that would reduce American dependence on foreign oil.  The ads will be running St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia and Springfield, a spokesman tells the Post-Dispatch.

Yesterday, the AARP applauded the Senate for moving health care reform with the following statement:

Jim Lee, who first wrote about Roy Blunt's controversial taxpayer-financed mail piece last week on his BusPlunge blog, follows up today in the News-Leader's 'Roses & Thorns' section:

A THORN: To Roy Blunt for abusing his congressional franking privileges by sending a public document labeled official business that was "prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense" to selected constituents. It was nothing more than a thinly disguised piece of campaign literature. You seemed pretty defensive in the piece, congressman, did it hit a little too close to home?

Americans United for Change is not impressed with the GOP's attempted filibuster of war spending legislation.

For your Monday morning amusement/confusion, here's one of the least persuasive anti-reform commercials imaginable, starring Rep. Rob Schaaf (R-St. Joseph):

The goal of the ad seems pretty straightforward, though bizarre: to convince opponents of health care reform that they’re somehow oppressed by the 12% of people who told Rasmussen right after the August tea party insanity that some portion of opponents were motivated by racism.  And with the solidarity that comes with such persecution, maybe they can rally together to stop the “total government take-over of the healthcare system” (another ridiculous claim).

Via St. Louis Pushes Back, an incredible (and true) advertisement for Ed Martin's Congressional campaign:

Just another day for mainstream Missouri Republicans...

Organizing for America is planning to begin airing this ad on national cable next week. It was picked from thousands of entries submitted from across the country, and was created by Eric Hurt.

A pretty powerful ad. 

A new web ad from the DSCC -- both amusing and sad:

Americans for Stable Quality Care's new ad:

As ThinkProgress notes, "ASQC is a pro-reform coalition primarily composed of health care interest groups that are in favor of reform — including the American Medical Association and PhRMA."

UPDATE: This ad has been pulled, at Bob Dole's request. 

The DNC has a new ad touting the support of some prominent Republicans (no longer in Washington), and featuring a Bob Dole quote printed in The Star this week.
