The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting Calif. Reps. Dan Lungren and Mary Bono Mack as part of a new nationwide campaign attacking a handful of Republican incumbents who voted against the financial reforms passed by the U.S. House last week.
The campaign will include radio ads, automated calls, live calls and more than four million e-mails, according to a press release.
DCCC Western Regional Press Secretary Andrew Stone wouldn't disclose how much the organization was spending on the California buys, but said it was a "significant" amount.
Here's the audio for the Lungren ad:

Transcript of the spot is after the jump.
Text of the radio ad targeting Lungren:
"October 2008, the last months of the Bush presidency.
The big banks and financial institutions almost collapsed, putting our entire economy at risk.
Remember?
We all know we should never let this happen again. That's why what our Congressman Dan Lungren did last week is so disturbing.
Congressman Lungren voted to let Wall Street continue the same risky practices that crippled retirement accounts and left taxpayers on the hook for $700 billion dollars.
And he voted to allow the big banks to pay high-rolling executives unchecked compensation and bonuses.
