Why is the US Dept of Commerce running ads telling me to tell congress no "gov't run healthcare"?

I don't understand why they are doing this.

How about I call congress and tell them "NO GOVERNMENT RUN COMMERCE DEPARTMENT!"

4. We just saw one by the Chamber of Commerce on msnbc
Maybe that was what you saw?
Was it that crap about higher taxes and government run health care
with balloon graphics?

What pictures and dialog did it use?

12. Let's all start spreading the story that the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants to end Medicare. That's the end result of what they want. Assholes!

18. I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House
would look at some of these ads and throw them out.
