I am no fan of Joe Heck. But Can you be specific? What law needs to be passed that has not already been passed regarding domestic violence? ...See More

Las Vegas resident Here is the only truth in this post: "Rep. Joe Heck, representing the third congressional district in NV."

Here are the lies:

1. "(Heck) voted against protections for domestic violence.

Wrong. He voted for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in both 2011 and 2013. In 2011, this resulted in an additional $600M in help...See MoreHere is the only truth in this post: "Rep. Joe Heck, representing the third congressional district in NV."

Here are the lies:

1. "(Heck) voted against protections for domestic violence.

Wrong. He voted for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in both 2011 and 2013. In 2011, this resulted in an additional $600M in help for victims of domestic violence.

2. "(Heck) voted to end Medicare as we know it"

Social Security and Medicare will "end as we know it" if no action is taken. Obamacare cut $500B -- that's right, half a trillion dollars - from Medicare. And you think voting to reform Medicare so that it exists for future generations is a bad thing? We should all end Medicare as we know it, because "as we know it" - it's set up for failure.

3. "(Heck) led the charge to allow bosses to deny their employees healthcare."

Wrong again. "Led the charge?" There is no evidence of such a claim. The closest vote that any reasonable person could infer you are referring to here is the Health Care Conscience Rights Act - which would protect employers who refuse to offer certain controversial coverages on moral grounds. Example: I am Catholic, and I own a business. I do not want to offer my employees a plan that includes coverage for abortions, yet the Obamacare-approved plans include it. My choice is to either offer a plan that doesn't include abortion coverage, or offer no insurance. You would prefer me to offer no insurance at all? As the employer, I am paying a portion of your health insurance costs. I should be able to choose what I offer, and you should be able to choose whether you (a) work for me, and (b) whether you want the insurance that comes with your job.

Finally, the teachers unions in Nevada in 2012 refused to endorse Rep. Heck's Democrat opponent. While seeing them endorse a Republican would be like finding a unicorn on the moon, the fact that they chose to stay out of the race should tell you something.

This is pure partisan hackery, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
