It is a bright and colorful trifold pamphlet that starts out with a picture of a fake newspaper with the fake headline
"The Largest Tax Increase in American History: House passes budget that will raise taxes by 1.5 trillion over the next ten years"Then there is a note:
"A Democrat (sic) budget that triples the national
debt and increases the tax burden on
families and employers is change in the
wrong direction. Future American prosperity
requires fiscally-responsible policies
in Washington today. Instead of
spending, taxing, and borrowing more
money, Congress should promote
economic recovery by curbing spending,
controlling debt, and continuing tax relief
to create jobs."
- Pete Sessions
Open the page and it gets even worse. This has some of the worst clip-art I have ever seen in my life.
Stacks of change that look like AT&Ts reception bars, a tear-a-page calender that has April 15th and little pieces of currency, a stack of bills with a belt squeezing it too tight, and a Microsoft Excel graph that looks like it was made by Bush, himself.
He then has the usual shit Republican talking points and introduces it by saying,
"I believe this is how the Democrat (sic) fiscal year 2010 budget bankrupts American prosperity::puke:
Blah, Blah, Blah,
Then, here is the closer:
"House Minority Republicans have offered fiscally-responsible, common sense solutions that end the spending binge in Congress and implement pro-growth fiscal policies to put our nation on the path to prosperity.Now, having lived in Mr. Sessions district since its inception (Delay Gerrymander Bullshit of 2002,)
I am used to getting political advertisements from him. I was inundated by them in every election he has run. (Especially Frost/Pete of '04!)
What makes this one different? It wasn't paid for by "Sessions for Congress, Roy Bailey, Chairman."
It says clearly on the back of the pamphlet,
This mailing was prepared, published, and mailed at taxpayer expense. It is provided as a service to 32nd Congressional District constituents.
