Americans for Prosperity is targeting U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan over the stimulus bill.
The limited-government advocacy group is airing an ad on AM and FM talk radio stations in Wilmington, Greensboro and Raleigh arguing that the stimulus package in the Senate is full of "the same old wasteful spending."
"Six hundred million dollars to buy new cars for federal bureaucrats. Fifty million to fund art — that's right art," the narrator says. "Three hundred thirty five million for studying sexually transmitted diseases. One hundred fifty million for honeybee insurance."
The ad cites a Web site, NoStimulus.com, that Americans for Prosperity set up to oppose the bill. It urges listeners to go to the site to tell Hagan to vote against it.
Spokesman Dallas Woodhouse said the Web site has attracted 44,000 signatures so far, including several thousand in North Carolina.

The Washington politicians are up to their old games again.
Using the economic crisis to pass a $1 trillion spending bill and then calling it stimulus. But it's the same old wasteful spending for pet projects we've seen before.
Six hundred million dollars to buy new cars for federal bureaucrats. Fifty million to fund art — that's right art. Three hundred thirty five million for studying sexually transmitted diseases. One hundred fifty million for honeybee insurance.
The waste goes on and on.
