Sipprelle Calls Brown Victory a Triumph of Fiscal Sanity

Princeton, January 20, 2010 – Hailing Scott Brown’s historic win in Massachusetts yesterday as “a resounding victory for ordinary Americans and a wake-up call for a woefully out-of-touch Congress,” businessman Scott Sipprelle (R-Princeton) challenged incumbent Rush Holt to publicly withdraw his support for the disastrous healthcare reform package favored by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and to work towards reform that actually lowers costs and improves choices for consumers, while not adding to the country’s already massive deficit.

Sipprelle also blasted Holt for falsely characterizing the legislative process leading up to this point as “one of the most open and deliberative processes in recent memory” and for his misleading claims about the current bill not adding to the nation’s already massive deficit.

“Congressman Holt has lost his way,” said Sipprelle. “The shady back-room dealing that has characterized the construction of this bill is simply shameful; and the fictional accounting used to support a claim of deficit neutrality has been roundly refuted by Medicare’s own Chief Actuary.”

“After more than a decade inside the beltway, Rush Holt has become a creature of Washington who routinely puts his loyalty to Nancy Pelosi ahead of his sworn duty to serve the constituents he represents,” added Sipprelle. “I congratulate Senator-elect Brown and the people of Massachusetts on their shared victory tonight, and look forward to adding another ‘Scott’ to Congress this November.”
