Oklahoma Republican uses taxpayer dollars to blast government spending

By Stephen C. Webster

In a piece of very campaign-like literature recently mailed by Rep. Mary Faillin (R-OK), complaints of wasteful government spending abound.

The message seem to be sincere, were it not for a block of small text noting that the congresswoman paid for the mailer with taxpayer funds.

On the document, which declares that the congresswoman wants to "reduce the tax burden on all Americans," Rep. Fallin touts her conservative credits by noting she voted against the "government regulation of health care," the stimulus, the "potential job-killing" cap and trade measures and the president's entire 2010 budget.

On the front of her full-color, professionally designed placard, printed in small, thin text, a message reads: "This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense."
