House Democrats Censure Republican's Use of Term 'Government-Run' Health Care in Constituent Communications
(CNSNews.com)
– Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) made public last week an e-mail from the
Franking Commission -- a bipartisan panel that oversees messages from
lawmakers -- asking Carter to change the phrase “government run” health
care to "public option." The term was part of an audio message recorded
by Carter’s staff for a town hall event on health care. The Franking
Commission, which is authorized by law to oversee mail and other
communications between members of Congress and their constituents that
is paid for with federal funds, sent an e-mail to Carter's staff
requesting that the wording in the message be changed.
