The group kicked off a $250,000 television and radio blitz in Stupak's district Wednesday, ahead of rallies that began Thursday night and were continuing through the weekend.

"Bart Stupak has lost touch with the people of Michigan, and he has betrayed the public's trust," said Mark Williams, the group's chairman.
