Mrs. Plumber gets political

Joe Wurzelbacher, the GOP candidate against 15-term Ohio Democratic congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, has brought his new wife into the political campaign.

Katie Wurzelbacher's comments on the Supreme Court's health care decision are the subject of a fund-raising appeal the campaign sent out Thursday:

The letter says the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the health care law and categorize it as a tax "proves more than ever how serious the President was when he uttered those words to Joe, who was playing catch with his son and contemplating his and our future."

"ObamaCare is now officially what we always knew it was: the largest and most far-reaching middle class tax increase in American history. It's a massive transfer of our economy from the private sector into the hands of government," she writes.

Obama was trying to explain his plans to raise taxes on family incomes over $200,000 and individual incomes over $250,000 when he told Wurzelbacher, in an unscripted confrontation on Wurzelbacher's suburban Toledo street in October, 2008, that if you "spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."

Fwd: 50 Shades of Red, White & Blue Inbox x Dave Murray dmurray@theblade.com 5:06 PM (16 hours ago) to me did you see this??? dave ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Katie Wurzelbacher <askjoe@joeforcongress2012.com> Date: Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 4:47 PM Subject: 50 Shades of Red, White & Blue To: citydesk@theblade.com       from... The Lady of the House.   Keep Connected   Friend --  Let me introduce myself; I'm Katie Wurzelbacher, and I'm married to a wonderful guy, Joe Wurzelbacher, who you probably know better as "Joe the Plumber," a name given to him when he confronted Barack Obama in our front yard in 2008. My husband asked Mr. Obama, who was running for President at the time, about taxes. Barack Obama told Joe, and the rest of the nation, that he wanted to "spread the wealth" around. Today's decision by the Supreme Court to uphold ObamaCare, and categorize it as a tax, proves more than ever how serious the President was when he uttered those words to Joe, who was playing catch with his son and contemplating his and our future. ObamaCare is now officially what we always knew it was: the largest and most far-reaching middle class tax increase in American history. It's a massive transfer of our economy from the private sector into the hands of government. We can still stop this hijacking, and I am asking you to help us today with a contribution. My husband Joe Wurzelbacher is running for Congress in the 9th District of Ohio, trying to defeat and replace a liberal who has been in office for nearly 30 years and who is a reliable supporter of every horrible item Barack Obama has stuck us with over the last three years. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur has voted for trillions of dollars in new debt through Obama's failed stimulus, bank bailouts, reckless spending, phony green energy companies and, now, ObamaCare. We cannot do this alone.  Joe needs your financial support to fight the East Coast liberal elites that bankroll his opponent. My husband is being attacked by left-wing politicians and their allies in the media who have no interest in an honest conservative, especially not another Tea Party favorite, being elected to Congress. Over the past three years, Joe has been invited to speak at countless Tea Party rallies and events around the country and he is a strong advocate for lower taxes, smaller government, less spending, and less government intrusion into our lives. The wealth is getting spread around like nobody's business. Joe and I believe that if this draconian tax is allowed to be fully implemented, our country may never recover and will be "fundamentally changed" forever – another one of our President's assurances which looks to be coming to fruition. It is a daunting struggle to replace someone who has been in office so long – 14 terms – but we must get more solid conservatives in Congress to stop this looting of the hard-working taxpayer and turn back the effort to replace Capitalism with Socialism in America. I know that sounds trite, but it's what is going on and they're not even subtle or sneaky about it anymore. Justice Roberts said it himself – ObamaCare is a tax. What he didn’t say is that it’s on the backs of the middle class. Now that the Supreme Court has upheld the law, it's up to the people to stop it. Joe is committed to doing everything he can to overturn, stop, throw out, or destroy this onerous takeover of the Health Care system, forced on us by leftists and enforced by the IRS. Please contribute $5, $10, $25, $50 or more today and give this campaign the tools it needs to replace Congresswoman Kaptur. Your life, your country, and your children's future depends on it.
