Claim: A false and vicious TV ad attacks Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin for voting against "honoring the victims of 9/11." The fact is, she voted to award three Congressional Gold Medals to honor the victims of the terrorist attacks in New York City, Virginia and Pennsylvania. So what's the ad talking about? It cites her 2006 vote against a ceremonial resolution on the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11 — which Baldwin opposed because she said the GOP-drafted resolution "politicized"
