How It's Used

“On Thursday, the conservative group Club for Growth launched its third ad in a $1.2 million campaign, this one running in the home states of GOP Sens. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa), Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and Mike Enzi (Wyo.). The ad urges the three, all among the Finance Committee's 'Gang of Six' health-care negotiators, 'not to cave in to the liberals' in reform talks.”

Ben Pershing, “Critical Ads to Follow Obama on Vacation,” The Washington Post, August 23, 2009.

“The senior Republican member of the Senate Finance Committee is central to the national debate as the bipartisan leadership of that committee—the so-called Gang of Six—struggles to forge a compromise plan. But speaking in front of a mostly friendly audience of about 250, Mr. Grassley stressed the distance between the two parties and what he thinks wouldn't work.”

Douglas Belkin, “Grassley Airs Doubt About Health Care,” The Wall Street Journal, August 25, 2009.
