The Ryan ‘secret plan’


Richard Nixon campaigned on a “secret plan” to end the war in Vietnam many, many years ago. It is still secret, very secret. Actually, it did not even exist.

Paul Ryan has a secret plan to attack the nation’s debt and balance the budget.

Just as with Richard Nixon, it doesn’t exist.

He puts cutting Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security “on the table,” along with just about everything else except defense. But he wants to cut taxes by extraordinary amounts right off the top: $4.6 trillion by lowering the rates and another $5.4 trillion by extending the Bush tax cuts (that have worked so well!). http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/economy-a-budget/219577-the-ryan-secret-plan

Rob is running against Paul Ryan in Wisconsin District 1, and deserves our support.


Testimonials from Rob web site...


Steve Israel, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Chair
We have an excellent Democratic candidate named Rob Zerban who got into the race largely because he couldn't tolerate Paul Ryan's leadership on a plan to terminate Medicare, while funding tax cuts for big oil companies.

Mike Tate, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman
The people of Wisconsin just can't afford the Paul Ryan agenda to dismantle programs like Medicare and Social Security to give tax breaks to billionaires and the very corporations that are sending our jobs to places like China and India.

We need representatives in Congress who will fight for the middle class and not for hedge fund managers and fat cat bankers. I know Rob will be that fighter when he goes to Washington.

In this era, where it seems like the future of the middle class is slipping away, we have an opportunity to make a stand. Let's reject Paul Ryan, elect Rob Zerban, renew this economy, and revitalize our nation.

Senator Russ Feingold
Rob Zerban understands the struggles of working and middle class families here in Wisconsin, and across the country. Rob Zerban shares my priorities of helping working families, honoring our commitment to our seniors by protecting Social Security and Medicare, safeguarding women's rights, our natural resources, and our rights and freedoms. Most importantly, Rob Zerban shares my commitment to making the economy work for every American, not just the wealthiest among us. That's why I am proud to endorse Rob Zerban in his challenge to Paul Ryan.
