Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is targeting 20 House Democrats who voted for the nation's new health care law and who represent districts that Sen. John McCain carried in the 2008 presidential election.
In a website launched on Thursday, the six-month anniversary of the health care law, Palin puts a bull's-eye on 20 House districts under a headline that reads, "We've diagnosed the problem…Help us prescribe the solution."
Included among Palin's Democratic targets: North Dakota's at-large Rep. Earl Pomeroy, Southeast Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello.
"Join me in standing against those who stood with Obama and Pelosi in voting for this disastrous bill," Palin writes on the site. "Let's replace them with good conservatives who will vote to repeal and replace Obamacare."
House Republican leaders, who will need to take back 39 seats in the November election to recapture the House, unveiled a policy agenda Thursday that includes repealing the law.
The legislation expands health coverage to 31 million Americans by requiring people to have a policy, expanding public programs and letting individuals pool together to buy more affordable coverage.
