A Turkey

Dave Obey continues his fear campaign, spending his time at a senior center scaring them about Republicans and President Bush. Seems Obey doesn't know any other way to campaign. Click here for the full story.

Obey railed particularly hard on the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. We at Obey Out have a lot of concerns about the plan, however, we also recognize that it's the law of the land and as such, Obey should be helping seniors without drug coverage to sign up with the plan.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the rate of signups in the Seventh Congressional District is 38% - that's the lowest in the State and one of the lowest in the country. Obey didn't do much to help the 62% of seniors in the Seventh District who have not yet signed up, calling the plan a "turkey."

Once again, it looks like Dave Obey cares more about scoring political points then actually helping his constituents.

I heard Reid on the radio down here in Wausau yesterday. After hearing him and Tyberg, Reid's the best candidate. I'm going to log on his website and send him a contribution.
