Center for Voter Information Mailer--PROPAGANDA!

[Catskillkid]

I received this mailer below from the supposed nonpartisan Center for Voter Information. For those of you not in NY 19th Congressional District, Congressman Faso (R) is running a very hard race against a carpet-bagging rapper turned lawyer Antonio Delgado (D). For those who can't make it out you'll see that it suggests that Faso voted to allow felons and the mentally ill to own guns



This could not be further from the truth. The legislation that Faso voted yes on was to stop the rule that said that those who require assistance managing their social security checks would lose their 2nd Amendment Rights. This has nothing to do with felons or the mentally ill.

I wrote to this organization explaining as such and asked if they will send a retraction or a clarification. I don't expect a response but it's worth a shot.

It ticks me off that blatant propaganda from is being flouted as nonpartisan. A little more internet research found that they have don this is other districts and almost always frame things to make the Republican/Conservative candidate look bad (so much for nonpartisan). This "Center for Voter Information" should be shut down. Be aware of this organization if you or anyone you know gets this mailer!

Looked at the one I received saw it for the lies it was and threw it away.

My wife noted EVERY DNC or Delgado campaign commercial about Faso has at least 3 lies. They know the info is false , the media knows it's lies but Delgado is not held to task. For example

1) the Congressional Health bill explicity does NOT eliminate coverage of pre existing conditions and it even funds State's high risk pools.

Straight from the bill text:
“No Limiting Access To Coverage For Individuals With Preexisting Conditions.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed as permitting health insurance issuers to limit access to health coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions.” (H.R. 1628, Section 137(b))

2) There is NO "age tax" set up by Congressional legislation. Delgado Parrots Pelosi's talking points, but there is no such thing as an “Age Tax” since laws do not permit the use of age as a pricing factor for health insurance.

3) The new Food stamp assistance work rules are NOT taking food out of kids mouths. It only requires healthy young and middle aged adults collecting public assistance (in households WITHOUT minors) to either seek work or enter a job training program.

Even by standards for a far left politician, Delgado is a lying POS.

The same kind of lies by the same organization in an identical format were sent out promoting Brindisi over Tenny in NY22.

I don't care if you think you need to clamp your nose with vise-grips, VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Got the same here except it's katko vs balter. Made note that they are a liberal organization despite "not endorsing any candidate" and will react accordingly-> recycle bin along with all the other political trash.

someone is backing them and I bet its a DEM .

Center for Voter Information is a dark money Political Action Group controlled by Nancy Pelosi as a Pelosi front group. This outside spending group does NOT disclose its donors to the FEC, and its mailings are from Pelosi's organization targeting key districts in CA, PA, and NY with 100% anti Republican usually unfounded attack ads according to OpenSecrets.com.

someone is backing them and I bet its a DEM ..

Confirmed from campaigns that you nailed it Acer.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I've yet to receive a single political mailer that isn't propaganda. One I got Saturday showed a guy opening his shirt a la Superman, only to reveal the sickle and scythe logo.

If Lionel Dripps was any more democratic Blue he would have to change his name to Violet Dripps.

Voters in New York’s 19th Congressional District have received misleading mailers about the district’s Republican nominee from the Center for Voter Information, a Washington, D.C.-based group that sells itself as “nonpartisan” but has a long history of supporting Democratic candidates.

The group sent out mailers to residents in upstate New York and after distorting policy positions the Pelosi group wrote, “We have done our best to represent each candidate in a fair and reasonable way.”

The Faso campaign slammed the mailer in a press release on Monday, saying “the D.C. liberal shadow group” was attempting to influence the congressional election.

“This deceitful group and this mailer perfectly encapsulate the underhanded tactics of Nancy Pelosi and Antonio Delgado. By masquerading Democratic attacks in a mailer that looks more like a bill or government correspondence, this group has attempted to trick voters into thinking this information is truthful,” said Joe Gierut, Faso’s communications director. “In reality, this is just another ploy used by Democrats in their desperate attempt to win this race and put Nancy Pelosi in the Speaker’s chair.”
