The Republican Party of Virginia released a new web ad yesterday, "12 inches of Global Warming."

"Virginians all over the Commonwealth are bracing for yet another blast of winter weather, which will no doubt keep roads hazardous and schools closed for days. Forecasters from Bristol to Winchester are calling for more than a foot of snow," said RPV Chairman Pat Mullins.

"With so many people stuck indoors around the heater, lots of folks will have the opportunity to watch the news. We thought that it might be a good time to remind them that Democrats Rick Boucher and Tom Perriello not only voted to make their heating bills far more expensive, but also to kill thousands of more jobs around the Commonwealth," Mullins said.

Both Perriello and Boucher voted in favor of Nancy Pelosi's "Cap and Trade" bill, which President Obama himself said would "skyrocket" the cost of electricity, natural gas and other heating fuels. It would also kill jobs from the coalfields all the way to Northern Virginia.

"It's going to be a cold weekend, but when folks in the 5th and 9th Congressional Districts are reminded of what their Representatives did to fight global warming, I'm pretty sure they'll warm right back up," Mullins said.
