WASHINGTON (AP) -- A liberal activist group's $1.3 million ad campaign criticizing four Republican House members for voting in support of "energy and big oil companies" was rejected Monday by NBC stations in Columbus, Ohio and Hartford, Conn.

The ads paid for by Move-on.org contend that the four GOP lawmakers - Reps. Chris Chocola in Indiana's 2nd district, Thelma Drake in Virginia's 2nd district, Nancy Johnson in Connecticut's 5th district and Deborah Pryce in Ohio's 15th district - are taking money from oil and energy companies and then supporting laws that reward those companies.
