Apparently, Rick Brattin (r) is not pure enough for our new Fascist overlords. Not that we care.

This mail piece attacking Rick Brattin (r), from a right wingnut committee, arrived at rural addresses in the 31st Senate District this weekend:

Why is Rick Brattin on the fence

In the fight to protect American agriculture manufacturers and prevent outsourcing our food supply to China?

Our Mission
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is engaged in an active campaign to sabotage America. Their goal is nothing less than world dominance.

The Chinese government in Beijing is carrying out a sophisticated plan designed to exert control over America’s economy, food supply, lawmaking, and education. One crucial element of the CCP’s blueprint for domination is to infiltrate states across the country.

From buying up farmland to influencing state legislative outcomes by directly lobbying lawmakers, the Chinese government will stop at nothing to exert control in the United States.

China’s threat is comprehensive. The CCP’s focus is not just Washington, D.C. – they desire influence at the state and local levels as well. State officials must not allow foreign adversaries to take over local economies or write our laws.

The Protecting America Initiative is a coalition of concerned American citizens and public policy experts who are committed to stopping Chinese influence in the states. Our mission is to stop the threat of Communist China at the state level. By protecting American independence now, we will safeguard our American future for generations to come.
