RENACCI HITS BOCCIERI ON HEALTH CARE IN NEW RADIO AD
Canton—Today, Jim Renacci launched a new radio
ad highlighting his steadfast opposition to the Obama-Pelosi health care bill and blasting John Boccieri for his recent statements which indicate that Boccieri is strongly considering voting for the legislation. During the past several weeks, Boccieri has said that he is “encouraged” by the Obama-Pelosi plan, with several media outlets reporting that Boccieri may cast a deciding vote to pass the nearly $1 trillion government overhaul of health care.
“At a time when 640,000 Ohioans are out of work and the unemployment rate has doubled since John Boccieri took office, the fact that he is even considering voting for this reckless government overhaul of health care—legislation that will pile on another trillion dollars in spending, raise premiums for families and further devastate our economy, is inexcusable. Once again, John Boccieri is demonstrating that his loyalty lies not with the people of the 16th district, but with Nancy Pelosi and the far left interest groups that line his campaign coffers,” Jim Renacci said today.
In a recent survey, as reported by the Washington Post, a majority of voters in Ohio’s 16th district oppose the Obama-Pelosi health care plan. Additionally, 77 percent of those polled in the district believe that the Democrat-backed health care bill will increase their taxes. Since taking office, John Boccieri has been a reliable ally for Washington’s liberal leadership, voting with Nancy Pelosi 94 percent of the time.
