Schauer's Deceptive Social Security Attacks

Press Release

Important Alert about Mark Schauer's and his Special Interest Pals'

Deceptive Attacks

The Truth: Tim Walberg Supports Social Security and Always Has

To: Seventh District Citizens

From: Kent Sholars, Campaign Manager

You have now likely viewed Mark Schauer and AFSCME (government employee union) TV ads, or read accusations by Mark Schauer in the newspaper attacking Tim Walberg. Factcheck.org and local media have called Schauer's and his special interest friends' claims "misleading", "not true", "false", "baloney" and "political crap."

As Ronald Reagan said, "Facts are stubborn things."

To be very clear, here is Tim Walberg's position on Social Security:

"In the U.S. House, I introduced the lockbox bill to prevent Social Security dollars from being diverted to other government programs. Speaker Pelosi kept this bill stuck in committee. I believe we need secure the contract and keep the promises made by Social Security, and also allow younger workers the option to save their own money in their own name in their own account. Mark Schauer, who has raided Social Security with his trillions in new spending, has purposefully twisted my position to scare seniors and he should be ashamed. We need to let our fellow citizens know these facts, which are indeed stubborn things." -- Tim Walberg

Please share this information with your friends, family and everyone you know so Mark Schauer's deceptive campaigning does not succeed. Mark Schauer cannot defend his votes for the trillion dollar deficits, government takeover of health care, failed trillion dollar stimulus, or national "cap and trade' energy tax, so he has resorted to false and misleading attacks to try to rescue his campaign. If we do not share the truth and stop him, he will continue his big spending agenda that is devastating our nation and Nancy Pelosi will likely remain Speaker of the House.

In addition to talking with people and forwarding this email or writing your own, please consider sending a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. In addition to the issue of Social Security and Mark Schauer's pattern of deceptive campaigning, here are important facts citizens need to know.

During his first term in Congress, Mark Schauer has voted for:

· House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's budget that increased the national debt by trillions;

· The national energy tax known as "cap and trade,' which would destroy Michigan jobs and increase energy costs;

· The Obama-Pelosi government takeover of health care that raises taxes.

· Voted for Governor Granholm's massive tax increases;
