Obey Campaign Mailing at Taxpayer Expense Part II

For some reason we didn't get it, but Obey sent another postal patron mailing on issues effecting rural Wisconsin. Thanks to our loyal reader who sent it to us.

Much of it reads like a campaign puff piece with much of it focused on Obey taking credit for things he had nothing to do with. Because there's so much too criticize, we decided to focus on just one claim to put it in perspective for you.

In the campaign piece paid for by taxpayer expense, Obey says that he and a Republican Member of Congress have introduced legislation to close the Milk Protein Concentrate tariff loophole. First of all, about 50 members signed up to co-sponsor that bill the same day Obey did. If you check Rep. Don Sherwood's website, you'll find no mention that Obey was the chief of those co-sponsors. Same if you check Dave Obey's website.

Pretty much, our Congressman is taking credit for someone else's work, and hoping no one will fact check him. Sorry, but we are going to fact check everything you say this year Dave.
