Worker's Voice said it plans to spend $50,000 on web advertisements in Nevada which tie the Medicare plan proposed by Ryan to Romney and to Sen. Dean Heller.

One version of the web ad, which the group says will be displayed on the website of the Las Vegas Sun, refers to the "Romney-Ryan-Heller plan," which it claims would "double seniors’ costs, raise retirement age, and throw seniors back into Rx drug donut hole."

In Ohio, voters may find a mailer which quotes AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka saying, "We can't afford people like Mitt Romney who are putting corporate profits before worker health and safety."

The mailer, which Worker's Voice says will hit 100,000 Ohio mailboxes, also charges "Romney doesn't care about American workers."
