The TRUTH
Over the past few weeks, I’ve spent a large portion of my day listening to the outrage of conservative citizens who are infuriated over Randy Ramsey’s distortions of my voting record. The latest deals with the military, and it is even more outrageous than the lies about ObamaCare.
Ramsey is running TV and radio commercials saying I allowed “Loan Sharks” to prey on our military men and women. As with the previous distortions, all that any objective observer would have to do is read the bill referenced (HB 810) to see that it did nothing of the sort.
The bill dealt with changing the laws regarding legitimate lending institutions, not “Loan Sharks”, and the interest rates and terms they must abide by. Members of the military often obtain these short term loans for items like furniture or electronics and there was concern that especially our youngest service members might make hasty and possibly unwise financial decisions. Because of this concern, a clause was written in the bill that required any loan to a member of the military to be approved by the service member’s commanding officer (the entire section is listed at the end of this email).
Randy Ramsey is desperate. He has put in $100,000 of his own money and been bankrolled with another $100,000 from “pay to play” influence seekers who have a vested interest in winning this Senate seat. He has run phone polls almost daily for two weeks, and I am convinced these polls show that he is behind. That is why he is resorting to these win-at all-cost tactics. Thankfully, those tactics are not succeeding, and it is because a people like you.
I ask you now to forward this email to your entire email list and remind your conservative friends that Randy Ramsey is trying to buy your vote. Let them know about my strong conservative record and why I am the clear conservative choice.
Thank you again for your vote, your prayers and your support!
