Democrats are preventing Republican House Members from sending their constituents a mailing that is critical of the majority’s health care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate. House Republicans are crying foul and claiming that the Democrats are using their majority to prevent GOP Members from communicating with their constituents.
The dispute centers on a chart created by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Republican staff of the Joint Economic Committee to illustrate the organization of the Democratic health care plan.
At first glance, Brady’s chart resembles a board game: a colorful collection of shapes and images with a web of lines connecting them.
But a closer look at the image reveals a complicated menagerie of government offices and programs that Republicans say will be created if the leading Democratic health care plan becomes law.
In a memo sent Monday to Republicans on the House franking commission, Democrats argue that sending the chart to constituents as official mail would violate House rules because the information is misleading.
In their eight-point memo, which was obtained by Roll Call, Democrats identify a litany of areas where they believe the chart is incorrect.
For example, Democrats argue that the chart depicts a “Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund” that is “simply a recipient of IRS funds, with no outflow. ... This is false.”
The chart’s illustration of low-income subsidies is also “misleading and false,” Democrats argue.
Congressional rules for franked mail bar Members from using taxpayer-funded mail for newsletters that use “partisan, politicized or personalized” comments to criticize legislation or policy.

Now they are exerting control over the communications that a politician has with its constituents.
Bey the way, my email inbox has been littered with email from Obama almost all the time. Why is he free to send out "communications" but not the GOP?
And I say to the Republicans, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” They can get the word out if it’s important to them.
Take out ads in every major city.
Fact is, we have abject marxists running the government who have been put into positions of high public trust all the way up to the President. They are now using those positions to benefit their radical friends, advance their radical ideology, and ride rough shod over the laws and constitution of this nation.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
You are exactly right. They can pay for the mailing themselves or take it out of their campaign treasury.
Once again, the party of hope, change, and “the most ethical Congress evah!” are proving that rules are for suckers—and the GOP is the biggest bunch of suckers on the planet.
Send the damn flyer out and then “apologize if anyone was offended” later! We have to learn to fight dirty or the thug party will bury us (as one of their great leaders once predicted).
Straight censorship, based on whatever the DemonCrapholes decide, on a whim, is 'misleading'.
No longer can the opposition party communicate with constituents.
We have officially become the Soviet Union.
PHUCK YOU, DEMONCRAPHOLES.

Chart posted above. Send it to every single email address you have in your contact list. Tell them to do the same.
Is there a larger image? The text on that one is too small to read.
Never mind... :-)
Man, that is just frakin’ crazy.....each and every time I see it.
Ph*ck the Democrat Marxist Murderers.
Ph*ck the Democrat Marxist Murderers.
I just called my congressman and told his office to mail me this. I also told them to tell the congressman to go ahead and mail this out to his constituents, ignoring the democrats. The lady asked me where I read this and I told her on ‘Rollcall’.
She brought the website up, and started reading it, as she apparently was unaware of it. I told her what are the democrats going to do to my congressman if he mails this out? Let them try to stop him!
If my congressman deems something like important enough for me to see, then screw the democrats, if they do not like it! If congressmen can only send out what the majority deems accurate and appropriate, then we will never hear the truth.
If the roles were reversed here, with the republicans preventing the democrats for mailing out stuff they wanted their constituents to have, there would be an enormous outcry from them, along with the MSM crying foul, saying the First Amendment was being denied to them, with ‘freedom of expression’ being silenced.
If we cannot be free to express our opinions, then why good are the ‘Bill of Rights’?
Time we used tax money to eff up his Communist desires to kill millions.
Drudge needs to get this up on his website.
He has it up
