The television spots feature clips from Obama's jobs speech to a joint session of Congress. DNC campaigns for Obama jobs plan

The Democratic National Committee is launching a new ad campaign Monday to build public pressure on Congress to back President Barack Obama’s job plan.

The television spots feature clips from Obama’s jobs speech to a joint session of Congress last Thursday evening.


“The next election is fourteen months away. And the people who sent us here, the people who hired us to work for them - they don’t have the luxury of waiting fourteen months… Members of Congress, it is time for us to meet our responsibilities,” Obama says in the clip.

One of the ads emphasizes that the Obama jobs plan features tax cuts for workers, tax credits for small businesses and are “fully paid for.”

The DNC said the advertisements are meant to encourage voters to tell members of Congress to support the jobs plan.

“The President has a plan to create jobs and help middle class Americans get ahead and this effort is intended to communicate that plan to the American people and for Americans to communicate their support for his plan to their representatives in Washington,” said DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. “There is simply no time to waste.”

The advertisements, entitled “ 14 months,” will start airing Monday, and are part of a campaign that will run several weeks. Obama will send Congress the text of his jobs bill Monday and will also hold an event in the Rose Garden to call on lawmakers to back it.

According to the Democratic National Committee, the ads will run in some key media markets: Denver, Colorado; Tampa and Orlando, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; Las Vegas , Nevada; Manchester, New Hampshire; Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; Norfolk, Richmond, and Roanoke, Virginia; and Washington, DC.
