Anyone else get this campaign brochure masquerading as news? (If you want, you can download the .pdf version at

Bryan Kennedy today criticized Congressman Sensenbrenner for wasting taxpayer dollars to fund his campaign. Like others in the district, Kennedy was appalled when he received a mailing from the Congressman’s office that looked more like a full-color campaign mailing than a Congressional newsletter. Previous newsletters from the Congressman have been printed in two colors.
“Jim Sensenbrenner hasn’t been able to find money to fund our VA hospitals, to pay a livable wage to our troops or to guarantee life insurance policies for the families of our men and women in Iraq,” said Kennedy. “Somehow he was able to come up with the money to send out a full color newsletter with a picture of himself on front. Jim Sensenbrenner’s priorities are obviously in the wrong place.”
“It’s apparent that he did this because he is facing his first viable challenge since he was elected. This is yet another example of a corrupt Congressman taking advantage of a corrupt political system.”
Kennedy supports measures to scale back printing and franking privileges for members of Congress during a campaign year.
