Andy Harris Calls on Kratovil to Take Down Misleading Ad
Challenges Congressman to Town Hall Meetings Across First District
SEVERNA PARK, Md. – Andy Harris today sent a letter to Congressman Frank Kratovil asking him to stop airing his false television advertisement and to participate in joint town hall meetings discussing issues that are important to the voters in Maryland’s First District during these hard economic times. A copy of the letter is attached below.
Congressman Kratovil has not held a town hall meeting with his constituents in over a year.
Frank Kratovil is currently running a misleading attack ad saying Andy Harris supports a 23 percent increase in the sales tax. Independent sources everywhere have called him out for distorting the facts.
Factcheck.org calls the attack “misleading” and “false,” explaining the proposal would “repeal the federal income tax entirely and do away with the Internal Revenue Service. It would also eliminate gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare and self-employment taxes.”- Factcheck.org
“The nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center, which weighs the veracity of campaign ad claims, has criticized an identical line of attack elsewhere by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as "quite misleading," because it never mentioned that the sales tax proposal involves doing away with all other federal taxes. Another independent watchdog, Politifact, has also criticized similar ads.” – Baltimore Sun
“Kratovil’s ad is a phony scare tactic.” – Annapolis Capital

Please send to Andy Harris the addresses of Mark and Susan Tilghman and Ray Nordstrom so he can ask them to get their Congressman pal to pull his fraudulent ad.
The democrats are trying anything , they are running scared.
Not dirty politics , but rotten politics . Get a lawyer involved and they will screw things up.
Right , Tilghman? Kratovil has to go , he is the white obama.
Could you imagine life without having to deal with tax paperwork. It literally costs my business 2-4 weeks per year. Obviously there are details that would have to be worked out, but the concept seems so simple.
