(CNN) – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is lending a financial hand to a group of House Republicans who have become targets of a new Democratic campaign over their opposition to the $787 billion stimulus bill.
In recorded telephone messages, text messages, and e-mails set to be sent out this week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to highlight the opposition of 12 House Republicans to stimulus package.
“What Republicans wanted was a bill to strengthen the economy,” Romney said in a statement announcing the $1000 donations by his Free and Strong America PAC. “What the Democrats passed was a bill to stimulate government. We are committed to helping these courageous Republicans defend their position and fend off political attacks.”
The “Undaunted Dozen,” as Romney calls them, “[stood] up for fiscal responsibility and [said] no to spending abuse.”
Although the former GOP presidential hopeful referred to the dozen members targeted by the DCCC, Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida was not sent a donation because he has announced that he is not seeking re-election in 2010, according to the PAC’s statement.

WELL, LOOK WHO IS GETTING READY FOR A 2012 PRESIDENTIAL RUN.
I can't wait to see how many times his policy positions change over the next couple of years.
"Let me conduct a poll and I'll be right with you".
MITT...
YOU THE MAN.
THE OTHERS ARE JUST JEALOUS
If anyone thinks that Mitt is donating money because of his adherence to solid Republican principles.....LOL...He continues to posture for support in 2012! Anything to keep your face out there and look good!
DONALD.
The NEEDY family needs to get off their butts and get jobs.
I think the dems have a chance to have 97 senators over the course of the next few years. I plan to contribute to each and every democratic candidate trying to unseat a repug in 2010, 2012, etc.
Wow, the trolls are out today: NATIONALIZING BANKS AND OIL WILL ONLY LEAD US TO SOCIALISM. Hey, genius, the nationalization gig was first proposed by some socialist Republicans!

LIKE I SAID. THE REPUGS ARE ALL ABOUT POWER AND PRESTIGE. NEVER ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM.
@Conservative Principles and the line of "No more of the rich … like Romney …. thinking they can buy elections and force a particular result."
And just which candidate bought 30 minutes of airtime for their infomercial, and spent more than any other candidate ever had when running for the Presidency?
So do you really, REALLY want to get into the topic of buying elections?
In a nutshell, Romney is a Douschebag.
Another attempt by Romney to buy a presidency. Look how well that worked out for him the last time.
Great Guy.
I wish this guy was running MICHIGAN.
This crazy broad we have has run the State into the ground.
She has buried us everday since she was elected. She has spent forward revenue from boating, licenses, etc... She spends more than she takes in and has put the state in a recession for the last 5 years. TRULY a TERRIBLE GOVERNOR.
AND what a joke Barack is picking her to head up an ECONOMIC committee. Does Barack really know what he is doing.
We are ridiculous as a country. Romney, you almost went broke running for president, so much for fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile Obama broke fundraising records. I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to listen to the guy who had a money surplus.
I'm sure everyone is proud of the stimulus plan that does nothing for anyone making comments on this site.
Obama made a huge mistake following Polosi's plan and orders, I really thought until that he had a great chance to do great things.
Oh well,
The Purchase of the 2012 Repuglican Presidential nomination by Mitt Romney, one contribution at a time.
The country is in a crisis and instead of contribute constructive ideas all some people know how to do is engage in partisan attacks for personal political gain.
Matthew, Detroit, you obviously know nothing about economics because I just read your statements. Second, Mitt Romney's dad had great business accomplishments, Romeny was present to inherit that wealth. Again, if he were such as savvy business man then why did he almost go broke campaigning for president? Hey, watch this Republicans, Bush not only put us in debt, but he combined it with your precious tax cuts which meant that there was more money not going into the economy. To cure the economy you have to spend. I wish these same Republicans put up this much of a fight when they sent our children off to war without thinking about the consequences and offered Bush a blank check. Again, your sort finds that to be savvy, and worthy of some sort of recognition. What is so hot about being broke as a result of Bush policies?
