In late 2009 national money was being poured into nine districts, where Democrats who voted for their party's health care reform may be in trouble. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, representing big business, has spent at least $1.6 million in November.  Liberals shoot back against the Chamber and 60 Plus Association with ads targeting 12 Democrats and one Republican who supported health reform. Three labor unions Americans United for Change, [[AFSCME]] and [[SEIU]] are teaming up for $1.75 million worth of counter-messaging in the districts of Reps. Berry, Cao, Connolly, Donnelly, Ellsworth, Hill, Hodes, Michaud, Murphy, Perriello, Pomeroy, Snyder and Titus. AUC and AFSCME are expected to spend up to $750,000 for a week of broadcast and cable air time. SEIU is expected to buy into the action with $1 million.
