Representative Vicky Hartzler (r), eleven days ago, via Twitter:
@RepHartzler Rep. Vicky Hartzler
Just voted for the much needed, bold, smart Ryan budget which reins in govn. spending & gets our country back on the right track! 15 Apr
What an ad from Americans United for Change (AUFC) points about about the “much needed, bold, smart Ryan budget”:
Announcer: Paul Ryan looks like a nice young man, but on April 15th he voted to end Medicare and its guaranteed health benefits. Instead, he wants seniors to get coverage from private insurance companies. Under Ryan’s plan seniors’ costs will go up over six thousand dollars. Ryan wants to use that money to give millionaires a two hundred thousand dollar tax break. Ending Medicare so millionaires can get another tax break? Really? Call Congressman Ryan and ask, what were you thinking?
Representative Hartzler voted for the same thing on April 15th.
“…ask, what were you thinking?”
Uh, maybe, at least agriculture subsidies will be okay? That must qualify as getting “our country back on the right track!”
Previously: Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r) wants to kill Medicare… (April 6, 2011)
A constituent in the 4th Congressional District had a question and couldn’t get an answer. In a letter to the editor of the Kansas City Star:
A tip of the hat to our good friends at Fired Up!
