Josh Mandel Lies about Sherrod Brown's Attendance


*** Ohio's absent Treasurer, Josh Mandel, is lying again.  Josh Mandel, who was in New York yesterday, said Sen. Sherrod Brown missed 350 votes?  Mandel, the Treasurer, has some problems with numbers.

Here is the response from the campaign of Sen. Sherrod Brown:

...According To CQ, Sen. Brown Has Had a 98% Or Better Voting Record Each Year He Has Served In The Senate.  According to Congressional Quarterly, Senator Brown has a 98% or better voting attendance record each year he’s served in the U.S. Senate.  [Congressional Quarterly]

Sen. Brown Has A Total Voting Attendance Rate Of 96.51%.  According to House.gov, Senate.gov and govtrack.us, Senator Brown has a 96.51% total voting attendance record in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.  [Govtrack.us, House.gov; Senate.gov]

...Brown Voted Against Pay Increases Six Times.  Sen. Brown has voted at least six times against raising his pay.  [Vote 300, 7/15/99; Vote 267, 7/25/01; Vote 463, 9/5/03; Vote 451, 9/14/04; Vote 327, 6/28/05; Vote 261, 6/13/06] ...

Josh Mandel and his frat boys over at his campaign are lying. Shame. Shame. Shame.  It is no wonder that Mandel's approval rating is heading down the toilet!
