And they're taking aim at Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert in order to get their message across.

In the tongue-in-cheek spot, narrated by Pelosi, the top House Democrat states that Colbert "must be stopped." "Stephen Colbert used to be my friend," Pelosi says in the video. I even signed the poor baby's cast when he hurt his hand. But since the day he started his super PAC, taking secret money from special interests, he's been out of control - even using his super PAC to attack my friend, Comedian Stephen Colbert scans a credit card for a donation after attending a Federal Election Commission hearing last June to ask for a media exemption to create a political action committee.

Colbert, of course, has taken to using his super PAC - "Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow" - to draw attention to the influence of the new groups on the 2012 presidential race. Super PACs, which came into being following two Supreme Court rulings in 2010, can accept donations of unlimited size; already, they have comprised a sizeable amount of TV ad spending in the 2012 race. The DISCLOSE Act is not new; it passed the House in June 2010 but failed in the Senate a month later. House Democrats" efforts to revive the measure are likely to bring new attention to campaign disclosure in the 2012 race, but their efforts are somewhat undermined by the fact that the Obama campaign this week announced its support for a Democratic super PAC, Priorities USA Action. Pelosi and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) are set to unveil House Democrats" plans to reintroduce the measure Thursday at a 2 p.m. Capitol news conference, according to a House Democratic leadership aide.
