Cheri Tales Chapter 8: Cheri’s $20 Million PR Campaign for the Gov’t Healthcare Takeover
Good Afternoon,
Welcome to Chapter 8 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 for a government takeover of healthcare that the administration is spending $20 million in a PR campaign to promote.
CHERI TALES: “I have a different set of priorities — I will reduce the debt the right way, by cutting wasteful spending…” (Bustos for Congress press release, Accessed 3/12/2012)
REALITY: In order to sell the healthcare takeover that Cheri wants to keep, the Administration is spending $20 million on a PR campaign. (Rockford Register Star, 2/20/2012)
Obama Administration has signed a $20 million contract with a public-relations firm in an attempt to sell ObamaCare. (The Hill, 5/21/2012)
Investor’s Business Daily: “The Obama administration just inked a $20 million deal with PR firm Porter Novelli to help promote ObamaCare. Why do they need to promote a law that was supposed to get more popular once it passed?… The public knows that ObamaCare is a disaster…No amount of high-priced PR spin can hide any of that.”
NRCC COMMENT: “We learn more everyday about the side effects of Cheri’s costly government healthcare takeover. Illinois taxpayers and seniors are getting burned at every turn by Cheri’s wasteful spending and drastic cuts to Medicare.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
