Washington (CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched a fundraising campaign Tuesday targeting 17 Democrats that voted in favor of health care reform and represent districts carried by the McCain-Palin ticket in 2008.
In a post on Facebook, Palin urged followers to "reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people."
Palin, a long-time critic of the health care reform legislation, directed followers to donate money to her political action committee, SarahPAC.
"Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they'll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector," Palin wrote. "Come November, we're going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they've been printing money."
The former governor lists 17 Democrats that SarahPAC will target in November – seats she says can be replaced with "Commonsense Conservatives."
Here are the 17 Palin targets:
Ann Kirkpatrick or Arizona
Harry E. Mitchell of Arizona
Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona
John Salazar of Colorado
Betsy Markey of Colorado
Allen Boyd of Florida
Suzanne Kosmas of Florida
Baron P. Hill of Indiana
Earl Pomeroy of Alabama
Charlie Wilson of Ohio
John Boccieri of Ohio
Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania
Christopher Carney of Pennsylvania
John Spratt, Jr. of South Carolina
Tom Perriello of Virginia
Alan Mollohan of West Virginia
Nick Rahall of West Virginia

***Palin urged followers to "reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people."***
The American people did that when they kicked the GOP out of power.
It makes sense that vulnerable adult like Palin would do this.
Sara Palin is a proven ignorant woman – why do we continue to publish her stupid statements. She let Alaska down and showed what a coward she really is. She needs to go home, pray and get a life.
Maybe all these supposedly vulnerable Dems should just quit their jobs just like this idiot (Palin) did!
I am so fed up with ANY & ALL articles about this "WINGNUT"! She is a total and complete waste, and is a disgrace to those women that work hard!
The people spoke when they took power away from the greedy, self-serving, decifit-spending Republicans in '08.
Gee whiz, Ms. Palin, IF you are as "successful" as you were in New York's 23rd District, the Democrats will win! Thanks!
A convenient list of people whose campaigns I need to contribute to!
Gee Sarah, and now millions of those unemployed will actually be able to have health care......
I think Sarah Palin along with her colleagues, to include: Ann Coulter, Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh need an ENEMA !! LMAO !!
Are you kidding me?
Coming from this hypocritical dimmwit who quit as governor of the most socialistic state in the nation, and who utilized the Canadian universal health care system as a child, or what her ignorant followers would call "socialized medicine".
What an opportunistic disingenuous pathetic pol!
Who cares what this retard thinks, they lost the election and they just lost again ha ha
The people who who disparage this woman simply disagree with her philosophically and they let hate-speech spew out of their mouthes. But what you small people don't get is she represents the majority of Americans–we are advocates of pro-life, smaller govt, strong military and conservative fiscal policy.
You'll see...come November.
Go away. Ditz.
Sarah Palin cannot lead she's a Gop lapdog and is using this time to study the system,She proved in 2008 that she doesn't have a clue,also i might add..I can't believe that teabaggers show no compassion to people who really need insurance or people who are sick~DISGUSTING...teabaggers are nothing but a modern day KKK
Palin targets vulnerable Democrats
Big surprise, there, eh?
The lack of a coherent agenda for conservatives is making the GOP and its apologist pundits increasingly fearful of becoming irrelevant.
You can see the fear in their eyes.
Go get them Sarah; do unto others as they did unto you!!!
She is a poor excuse for a human being!
what is common sense to Palin the far neo con right?
I bet none of those 17 Democrats have quit in the middle of their term or have to write cribs on their hands to remember things.
Those 17 Democrats are part of 219 House members that were courageous enough to pass one of the most sweeping bits of legislation in over 50 years. This is why they were elected, to make a difference.
I bet each one of those 17 would make a better VP or President than the likes of Palin.
Palin urged followers to "reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people"
Yeah, We did!! on Nov 2nd 2008.
Here comes the
"Queen of the Grifters"
Looking for a few good "Marks".
Go away, just go away – go do your tv show. Stay out of politics where grown folks are supposed to roam. Politics is for people that say what they mean and mean what they say. I don't trust you to do that. You left Alaska to do what??? Go away!
Palin go away, nobody cares.
Who cares what this nimrod says?
