Anti-Bachmann radio ad hits 6th district air
A pro labor group is taking on Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a radio ad that's being heard today in Minnesota's 6th district.
Americans United for Change based the ad around Bachmann's recent comment that future generations should be "weaned" off of Social Security and Medicare. A news release from the group said that ad time was purchased on three St. Cloud radio stations.
"We're making a shining example of Bachmann because I believe she's the first or among the very few Congressional Republicans (even excluding Minority Leader Boehner) to enthusiastically embrace Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)'s misguided alternative budget proposal that would dismantle Social Security with a privatization scheme and replace Medicare with a voucher system," wrote Jeremy Funk, Americans United for Change communications director.
