Barrow’s Continued Support of ObamaCare Highlighted In Local Campaign
The National Republican Congressional Committee launched a mobile billboard campaign in John Barrow’s Georgia district today to highlight the Congressman’s continued support of ObamaCare and the law’s bureaucratic takeover by the IRS. The billboard, which will circle Barrow’s district reads: “Congressman Barrow’s Plan: Put the IRS in charge of your healthcare. Fed up? Call John Barrow at 706-722-4494.”
“It’s time that John Barrow is held accountable for his support of ObamaCare, especially now that the scandal-ridden IRS has been put in charge of enforcing the program,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “In light of the IRS scandal, John Barrow owes his constituents an explanation as to why he supports having the IRS involved in our healthcare system.”
