Associates of Rick "Swift Boat" Reed Contracted by DuPage Government

Reverse Spin is the contracted spokespersons for two government entities in DuPage County -- the Election Commission for $3,000 per month and the DuPage Forest Preserve for $4,000 per month. They proudly describe themselves as political strategists and political operatives. And that's just fine for doing business in DuPage County.

I'm not making this up. Check it out:

The $7,000 per month which they receive from we, the taxpayers, allows them to slither in the shadows and pursue their number one passion -- consulting Republican candidates. They believe in small government and no wasteful spending of tax funds EXCEPT when it comes to themselves.

As consultants for government entities, they treat citizens as if they were political opponents, attempting to smear and deflect instead of advising their clients to answer questions.

Over the years, the owners of Reverse Spin have worked closely with Rick "Swift Boat" Reed, owner of Rick Reed Media and behind the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America. If you visit the website for Rick Reed Media and watch the demo video which plays automatically, you'll see an endorsement by Reverse Spin.

Check out the Twitter site of one of the owners:

Did Reverse Spin coach and provide talking points to this nutjob at the Forest Preserve?
