Tea Party Patriots and the grassroots group For America are launching online ads against a dozen GOP senators who either oppose the effort or haven’t announced a position.

Along with the ads, leaders of the groups will embark on a six-state, five-day “Exempt America” tour (the idea being that the American people should be exempt from Obamacare) that will bring them to the home states of several of these senators.

Update 12:01 p.m.: The conservative group Heritage Action is also launching an online ad campaign pushing the Defund Obamacare effort. Heritage will spend $550,000 on online ads targeting 100 House Republicans.

The effort comes as Defund Obamacare – whose supporters pledge not to fund the government if it includes money for the president’s health-care law — struggles to gain the traction it would need to actually force the issue. Several GOP senators have opposed the strategy in no uncertain terms.

1. Yes,

let's get Heritage Action to waste $550,000 on this nonsense. Maybe they can get 4 or 5 protesters out there holding signs too!

2. Or at least the GOP will be known as the party against health care leading up to 2014. Good for us.

3. If you look at how they have built up to this...

I think its a far more important topic than some lately. A government shut-down to defund Obamacare once and for all, as the state exchanges are just getting up and running for enrollment!

I'm counting the days myself - our exchange is all set up, and I can enroll my family in 41 days...

4. Let's hope the red state voters are like you - looking forward to health security.
