I received a bogus survey from Congressman Kinzinger. Deceptive propaganda on the taxpayers dime.

The taxpayer funded mailing is titled Senior's Survey and claims he is standing strong for seniors. The first question on the Senior Survey is "Do you consider yourself to be pro-life?". The possible answers are "Yes", "No", and "Unsure". I'm sorry but I fail to understand the relevance to seniors. Is he fishing for donors? Sure seems like a question that requires a lot more options to me.
The second is a list to check on items that he should focus on: Tax Reform, Protecting the unborn, National Security, Upholding the 2nd Amendment, Supporting Veterans, Investing in Transportation, and Other. It requires postage to return the Survey.While it is not the level of money stolen from taxpayers to fund the GOP Benghazi Super Pac, it thoroughly disgusts me that they do not hesitate to lie, cheat, and steal while we pay for our own destruction.

My husband filled it out, which is unusual for him. He gave Kinzinger an earful, adding many of his own comments.

They are simply using this form to create a narrative that will do nothing for seniors. I guess we can protest for the price of a stamp.

Big war hero. Big fat liar is what he is. He was in Iraq and nowhere near any shooting anywhere. And he demeaned Tammy Duckworth's contribution.

He's also an entitled little brat who lied about where his campaign money came from.

Also, as having had the distinct displeasure of meeting him, he's dumber than dirt.

A lot of great comments by the people after his ignorant comments during the PP attack in CO. Just more pimping the anti-choice movement. It must poll well in this district.
