The National Democratic Committee said on Wednesday that it will launch a series of advertising fences in some congress districts controlled by Republicans to encourage people to ask the municipalities of their elected representatives after some Republicans allegedly stopped celebrating public municipalities while confronting angry constituents and protest interruptions.
“Republicans refuse to meet their voters after voting to eliminate medical care and make families put food on the table,” said DNC president Ken Martin, in a statement. “This is not surprising: in recent months, a word has described Republicans: cowards.”

The advertising fences are rising in republican districts in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania. Each billboard calls the Congress member a “coward” and provides the telephone number for the Washington office, DC of Washington of the member, “a City Council demands.”
Democrats have affirmed in recent weeks that Republican members do not have municipalities because they want to avoid the anger of their constituents for the policies and cuts of President Donald Trump to the federal government. Both the National Party and the individual elected officials have also begun to celebrate the municipalities in the districts controlled by the Republicans.
“We are organizing events in the districts controlled by the Republicans and we are hitting the phone numbers of the Republican representatives in advertising fences in all their districts because working families deserve to be heard,” Martin wrote.

In a statement to ABC News that responded to the Billboard campaign, the communications director of the Republican National Committee, Zach Parkinson, wrote: “The approval index of the Democratic Party has just reached a record after being defeated in November, and the new DNC messaging strategy is to buy some advertising.
Earlier this month, the Republicans of the House of Representatives were encouraged by the National Committee of the Republican Congress to make more virtual events about the municipalities in person, which allows greater control, although some Republican members have continued to organize or appear in the municipalities in person despite the rejection.
