Response to Letter Writer Vickie Burke

Democrat Party Chair Vickie Burke recently wrote an opinion letter to the La Crosse Tribune defending Ron Kind against other letter writers who have been revealing Ron's actual legislative record.  I simply could not stand by while she distorts the truth so I have also provided my responses to several of the points she makes in her letter. 

Story About Ron Kind's Telephone Townhall

The Reedsburg Press recently wrote an article about Kind's telephone townhall.  In their report they state, "In response to a caller who questioned his voting record regarding high spending in Washington, Kind said that 'there’s plenty of blame to go around.' Although he recently voted to increase the national debt ceiling, Kind added that Congress is beginning to take appropriate actions to control spending. 'There’s going to be a ban on earmarks for all for-profit companies,' he said."  Click here for the whole story.
