Rahall Protest to No Avail
Television Ad True on Facts
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Williamson, WV (HNN) – After receiving a letter from Rahall’s lawyers, television stations around West Virginia’s 3rd District continue to run an ad by candidate Elliott "Spike" Maynard that has been proven true. The ad, called “Made in China,” highlights Rahall’s support of the “Recovery Act,” aka Stimulus Bill that used taxpayers funds for windmill projects that created manufacturing jobs in China.
In a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, a Democratic group pointed out that a “majority of the turbines purchased with that money have been built by foreign manufacturers.”
“Rahall realizes his proud support of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi is viewed negatively by the people of West Virginia. His record is what is negative, not our ads. Just like a 34-year Washington insider, Rahall thinks he can bully television stations into doing things his way.” said Elliott “Spike” Maynard.
“None of his tactics come as a surprise. This is the same guy who has bullied the people he represents into a huge government takeover of their healthcare at enormous costs and used their money to pay for abortions and failed stimulus bills.”
Rahall’s lawyers said he ‘did not and never would vote for such an absurd bill,’ but they ignore fact that his Democrat colleague Senator Shumer (D-NY) outlined the facts in March 2010 (http://schumer.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=322732&).”

Spike Maynard is the Republican running in the 3rd Congressional District of West Virginia. Maynard is a former West Virginia State Supreme Court Justice and trial judge from Mingo County. Maynard is an Air Force veteran, where he served in reconnaissance during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Following his honorable discharge, Maynard was the Managing Director of the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce and practiced law. In 1976, Maynard was elected as a Prosecuting Attorney for Mingo County. He was appointed by Governor Rockefeller to the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit and was twice elected to that circuit. His legal experience saw him elected to the Supreme Court of Appeals, where he served as Chief Justice in 2000, 2004 and 2008.
