DeLauro Shows Her True Colors During Debate

NAUGATUCK, CONN –
October21: Wayne Winsley, committed candidate to
represent all of the citizens of CT’s 3rd Congressional District, today
released the following statement.

During
the debate televised on Face the State, incumbent DeLauro says “My opponent
doesn’t understand how congress works”. When asked why she voted to recognize
two tablespoons  of tomato paste as equal
to a serving of fruits or vegetables for our school children even though she knows
the concept is ridiculous and absurd.

On Nov. 22nd 2011 Incumbent DeLauro is quoted in the
New Haven Independent as saying,

“Considering pizza
a vegetable and considering it paired with a side of French fries a healthy
meal for children is absurd.”

Not
only did DeLauro vote for the measure, she admits during the debate that she
was actually the Chair of the committee that brought it to the floor. Her
excuse was that the bill also contained money for food stamps and WIC.
Apparently, the logic is that the parents getting the food stamps and WIC
should vote for the incumbent and ignore the fact that she totally threw their
children under the bus.

While
I haven’t been in congress for half my life, I understand enough to know that
unlike incumbent DeLauro, I will have the courage and  integrity to stand up and do the right thing
for ALL of the people, not just the ones I think will  vote 
for me.

We
also learned that the incumbent claims to have actually read the Affordable
Care Act before proudly voting for it.

Yet,
she seemed to have no clue that part of the new law will discourage or even
discontinue the PSA prostate cancer screening for men under age 50 because of a
D rating by the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

That
screening by the way is what saved my life a year ago. I had aggressive
prostate cancer and didn’t know it.   

Since
prostate cancer is both more common and more aggressive in African America men,
I asked the incumbent what she would say to all those young men, especially all
of those young black men like me who are now potentially at greater risk of
death because of the health care act she so proudly voted for.

DeLauro
literally says that these dead men walking should still vote for her.

This
is the representation that the third district has had for a generation.

We
can do better. It is time for new and effective representation for all of the
people of the third district. Republicans, Democrats, and Unaffiliated we all
deserve better.

  As your
next representative, I - Wayne Winsley - will work hard to serve the citizens of
the Third Congressional with forthrightness, honor, and integrity.
