During a campaign, candidates have a tendency to make misleading statements that stretch the truth.

Comment Content: During a campaign, candidates have a tendency to make misleading statements that stretch the truth. Some people take it way too far as seen by Congressional candidate Brian Lentz.

I have worked with Rep. Lentz for the past 4 years in Harrisburg and in my opinion he is not a friend of the middle class nor is he the person needed in Washington to help create jobs. He portrays in his commercials that he supports tax cuts for the middle class, well what's his real record... he had no problem voting to raise taxes on the middle class when he was in the Pennsylvania legislature. Lentz didn't think you deserved lower taxes until he decided to run for a higher office. He voted to double your taxes and create new ones at the state level and will vote to raise your taxes as your congressman regardless if you are rich or middle class. That's what is record in the legislature is telling you.



Brian Lentz claims he is a reformer - he voted for numerous rule changes to make the state house more accountable, well what's the truth... he voted many time to violate these rules when he was told to do so by the Democratic leadership. One example was when the Marcellus Shale tax bill was introduced in the Appropriations Committee - the Republicans were given the 30 page amendment just 5 minutes before they were to vote the bill... 5 minutes to study a 30 page bill before voting for it!!!! Lentz had no problem breaking that rule.



Lentz is running TV ads saying Pat Meehan will steal your Grandmas’ Social Security and wants criminals to get assault weapons to shoot up your neighborhood. Well the Florida gun permit loophole he mentions in his ad must be decided in the PA. State Legislature not in the US Congress, but he is blaming Meehan for being opposed to it. Did you see the Lentz TV ad on his plan to save Social Security? I didn't see it either because he doesn't have one. If you want Washington cleaned up he is the wrong guy to do it.



Do your research before voting, don't believe the TV ads, go on the Internet - look it up. There is so much information available on all the candidates. There is too much at stake this election. Your children need you to make an informed choice on November 2nd. Vote for Pat Meehan.
