Paul Ryan is Bananas, Stop the Unappealing Repeal
Janesville, WI
January 25th, 2011
Our message is simple: over 80% of American's oppose
the G.O.P. repeal of health care. Paul Ryan's fringe, dead-end
legislation don't belong in mainstream American politics. He is BANANAS.
Citizens of Wisconsin have participated in thousands
of rallies and events in support of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act passed into law in 2010. In response to Rep. Paul
Ryan's leadership in passing the wildly unpopular "Repealing the
Job-Killing Health Care Law Act" his constituents in Wisconsin's 1st
Congressional District and statewide activists have started the "Paul
Ryan is BANANAS" campaign. Ryan has talked the talk of a fiscal
conservative, without walking the walk. The Bush II-inspired G.O.P. told
Congress to spend without stop. This happened with Congressman Ryan's
blessing, his votes, and his lead in the charge to end the bi-partisan
fiscal discipline of the Clinton years.
We will deliver "BANANAS" petitions to his office
starting today: Tuesday, January 25th. The delivery NEXT TUESDAY (FEB
1st, 2011) will be followed by a brief 4pm press conference, including
testimony from constituents positively impacted by health care reform,
and a performance of the Star-Spangled Banner by the impromptu
"Obamacare BRASS" of volunteer musicians.
"Activists will deliver a stack of petitions to
celebrate President Obama's historic 2010 Wall Street & health care
reforms next Tuesday. We simply ask Paul Ryan to quit cryin', and stop
wasting congress' time with legislation that's bananas," campaign
spokesman Brennan Balestrieri said. "I've gone to countless events
demanding health care reform organized by Wisconsinites across this
state, while members of the G.O.P. continue to work to deny our rights
to medical coverage and deny the existence of our support for this
legislation. Repealing this patient protecting legislation is polling
below 20% in support nationally, cryin' Ryan need to get back to
business."
More information on this FEB 1st event will be
released Thursday afternoon. The petition being circulated has the
graphic of a banana, and will be delivered by a large peaceful, polite
crowd.
