Dick Morris, the reliably conservative pundit and former Democratic strategist for President Bill Clinton, is trying to raise lots of bucks for an anti-Obama health care reform ad that he boasts "can defeat Obama's health care takeover."

The ad, which can be seen below and is featured at DickMorris.com, is sponsored by an apparently new group called the League of American Voters, and it features a stern looking neurosurgeon named Mark Cuffe warning that the Obama administration plan will be a catastrophe: it will hurt seniors, lead to the rationing of care, end Medicare as we know it and more. The Web site encourages donations from $25 to $5,000 to help get the ad on the air. And Morris even promises a free copy of his new anti-Obama book, titled Catastrophe, to donors who kick in $250 or more.

It's unclear if the League has raised much money and the only staffer who's been identified with the fledgling group is Bob Adams who, during the Bush administration, worked for the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council. The League is located is at 722 12 St. NW which also houses Americans for Tax Reform, the conservative anti-tax group run by Grover Norquist.
