It has only been hours since the House passed ObamaCare and the RightRoots are already fighting back - hard.

Late last night, the RNC launched FireNancyPelosi.com - a 40 hour money-bomb aimed at raising money to help unseat 40 House Democrats - the magic number needed to fire House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  As of 9:40 a.m. this morning, more than $250,000 of the $402,010 goal has been raised.  (UPDATE: In less than 40 hours, the RNC reached it's third goal of $1,002,010)

Fire Nancy Pelosi

The micro-site is accompanied by heavy online ad buys from the RNC driving traffic and earned media to the site.  With the 40 hour money-bomb, the RNC has also given supporters a slew of weapons to fight back against ObamaCare on Twitter. The campaign driven by the RNC has produced a great deal of momentum against the Democrats and ObamaCare in a short period of time.  #FirePelosi is being used frequently to organize opponents of the bill on Twitter and at 9:00 a.m. this morning, "fire nancy pelosi" was the #3 hottest search topic on Google in the United States.
