February 23, 2012

Good Afternoon,

Welcome to Chapter 6 of Cheri Tales. As you know, Cheri Tales is a collection of stories and fables about a desperate politician who will say and do anything to get elected. The tales focus on Cheri Bustos, a Democrat candidate running in IL-17. During this chapter, we will explore Cheri’s support of slashing $500 billion from Medicare.

CHERI TALES: "Don’t let Congress take Medicare away…Unfortunately, Rep. Bobby Schilling and others in Washington have embraced an extreme plan by Rep. Paul Ryan that would dismantle Medicare " (Quad City Times, 10/28/2011)

REALITY: Cheri wants to keep the government takeover of healthcare in place that already raided $500 billion from Medicare. (Rockford Register Star, 2/20/2012)

NRCC COMMENT: "Cheri Bustos continues to find ways to insult Illinois seniors’ intelligence. But seniors know all too well that Bustos wants to keep the government takeover of healthcare in place that hurts seniors by slashing benefits and endangering their access to care." – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
