From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…
As you probably read today, the Chicago Tribune called on Dan Seals and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to stop the false attack ads against his Pro-Choice stance. The ads, both running on TV and found on flyers mailed to voters across the District, seek to scare and intimidate women claiming Bob wants to criminalize a woman’s right to choose. Bob has always been Pro-Choice and respects a woman’s right to choose.
The editorial stated, “We are not impressed that Seals would give voters false ideas about his opponent’s views on abortion. Not impressed at all. He and the DCCC should drop these very misleading ads.”
However, this isn’t the first time the Seals campaign has been called out for their explicitly misleading ads. The Chicago Tribune called out Seals and his supporters in an editorial in September that distorted Bob’s stance on Social Security. Seals’ ads work to alarm seniors by stating Bob is for privatizing Social Security. Bob is not for privatizing Social Security.
The Seals campaign is clearly trying to distract voters from the real problems facing our country—jobs and the economy—because Dan Seals can’t win on those topics. To date Dan hasn’t put forth any plans to address these issues and further, will continue to uphold the spending policies in Washington if elected.
We have 8 days left in the election. We need to tell Washington there is a better way forward. But we still need your help to do it. Please call the Dold for Congress Headquarters at (847) 251-DOLD. We can win with your help!
