Instead of challenging the fundamental truth of the America for Sale Report; my Republican colleagues have resorted to what they seem to do best: attempt to smear anyone who dares question them. They are suggesting that the report was a political document, and are now engaging petty and desperate attacks on how the report was posted online. By the way it is still available online, and you can read it by clicking here

They are desperately trying to discredit a report they can't discredit on its merits because this report is backed up by more than 650 pages of articles published in newspapers, periodicals around America.

We are not making anything up.

They are afraid because the America for Sale Report explains directly and effectively how the corruption of our legislative process has impacted the lives of all Americans and very clearly falls under the purview of the Rules Committee. I stand proudly by the report, and believe every American should have the opportunity to read this document about how our government is really being run.

It is becoming very clear that the America for Sale Report is simply hitting too close to home for my colleagues in the Majority. However, I will not be intimidated by their threats or their scurrilous, baseless accusations.

1. Truth ...

Yes, the Repukeblicans are afraid of the truth. But more importantly, the Democrats are too afraid of calling them the liars that they are during the election campaigns. When the Dems force the issue during the campaigns, that's when they will win back the Congress and the White House.
