The Democrats really aren’t going to let Sue Lowden forget the “Chickens For Checkups” stuff.
Earlier today, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent some volunteers to demonstrate outside a Lowden fundraiser in Washington, D.C. One volunteer was dressed up in a chicken-suit, in recognition of Lowden’s promotion of the barter system as a means of lowering health care costs, and her discussion of how her grandparents’ generation would bring a chicken to the doctor for payment. Another was dressed up as a doctor, with a sign saying “Don’t Take Lobbyist $$ Barter.”
The DSCC sent us a photo, with this comment: “Sue Lowden’s livestock-bartering policy proposals are no more popular in Washington than they are in Nevada.”
