Laywers for Sen. Bill Nelson have written to Florida TV stations asking them not to air an ad that includes a false claim about Medicare cuts.
From a news release: In the wake of the recent Citizens United case, in which the Supreme Court allowed unlimited and undisclosed corporate money to be spent on such ads, TV stations have a greater responsibility to protect the public from the spread of false and deceptive information, Kendall Coffey, a lawyer for Nelson wrote in a letter to the stations today.
On behalf of our client, we respectfully insist that you take this inaccurate ad off the air immediately, Coffey wrote. As a media outlet, this station has a duty to protect the public from the spread of false information and deliberate deception.
The U.S. Chamber announced the 30-second ad last week and it repeats a widely used Republican claim that Democrats cut $500 billion from Medicare. It wasn't a cut, according to Politifact. It was a reduction in future growth (the size of the Medicare program will increase dollar-wise).

Wouldn’t it be more correct to ask if “Double Face” senator Nelson has read the 2700+ pages of the ObamaScare???
absolutely facism. The dems have been at it for so long, they don’t even fathom that their actions are unAmerican and unconstitutional.
I found this truth on facebook about “fundamentally changing the United States of America” which double face Nelson is a member of. More importantly to know the whole truth about why WE are on a sloping slop to Marxism is very important to listen and watch part II of this video presentation by the Green Beret retired General. It’s the truth and NOTHING but the truth???

Don’t miss part II and share it with as many “friends”(???) as possible!!!
Democrats, hoist by their own petard.
Thanks for the url. I’m sick of seeing Obama on every station doing propaganda for re-election. HIs grandmother raised a great little marxist there in Hawaii.
