Nurses Union Plans Ad Against Angle

This article discusses how the largest union of registered nurses in the country plans to spend $200,000 on attack ads against Sharron Angle, the Republican challenger for Senate in Nevada. Angle is running against Democrat Harry Reid, who is currently the Senate majority leader. Backed by the Tea Party, people fear that Angle is far too radical and extremist with her agenda. The article states that she seeks to privatize both Medicare and Social Security, as well as eliminating the Department of Education. National Nurses United also supports other Democratic candidates around the region, specifically in California where they have demonstrated against the Republican candidate, Meg Whitman. This Senate race in Nevada is being considered as one of the most important contests nationally.
