DCCC Billboard in Ryan's Hometown Attacks Ryan Budget

Ahead of a full House vote on the proposed budget from House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has installed a billboard ad in Ryan's hometown of Janesville, Wis. accusing Ryan of "protecting millionaires instead of Medicare."

The billboard, which will be up for the next month, directs people to MillionairesOverMedicare.com, a DCCC website claiming Republicans want to end Medicare in favor of cutting taxes for the rich.

Earlier this week, the DCCC also released a video with actor Martin Sheen praising President Obama and attacking Republicans along the same lines. (Check out the video below.)

In response, National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Andrea Bozek said: "The only 'board' that's on Wisconsin families minds is ObamaCare's board of unelected bureaucrats who will deny care to seniors and increases costs on middle-class families."
