Ralph Reed's Group Hitting Florida Democrats in Radio Ads

The Faith and Freedom Coalition, led by former Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed, announced late Tuesday that it will be spending more than $500,000 to beat the drums to increase voter turnout among faith-based voters.

The group has launched radio ads in 18 U.S. Senate and congressional races across the nation -- including two close contests in Florida. The Faith and Freedom Coalition launched a radio ad supporting Republican challenger Allen West who is looking to defeat Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Klein. They have also unveiled a radio ad backing Republican candidate Steve Southerland who is hoping to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd.
