A conservative Web site is pushing U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge to slow President Obama's budget.
In an e-mail to readers of RedState.com, editor Erick Erickson urges them to call the Lillington Democrat and four other Democrats, urging them to "slow down budget approval" in a House committee tonight.
The others are Reps. Allen Boyd of Florida, Charlie Melancon of Louisiana, Chet Edwards of Texas and John Yarmuth of Kentucky.
"Tell them to vote no on the budget tonight," he writes. "We can stop the budget if you will pick up your phone right now."
As with an earlier campaign from a liberal group, Erickson's e-mail mistakenly includes Etheridge among the Blue Dog Democrats.
He is not a member of that conservative coalition, although he is a member of the New Democrat Coalition in the House.
