Fix Congress

With Early Voting you can vote for a change in Congress, starting as early as January 11th.

Social Security was established in 1935. Congress had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938. Congress had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

War on Poverty started in 1964. Congress had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our tax money each year goes to social programs and we still have poverty.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. Congress had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970. Congress had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. We import more oil than ever before. Congress had 32 years to get it right and it is a failure.

November 2010

The U.S. House narrowly Voted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling by $290 BILLION bringing the total amount the Federal government can borrow to $12.394 TRILLION. Congresswoman Bean was one of the yes votes to increase spending & debt for our government. You, your children, and your grandchildren will pay the bill that Bean voted to impose on us all. You can thank Congresswoman Bean for her vote by voting yourself November 2010.

Bean = Big Government

Congresswoman Bean wants the Federal Government to decide how large a company should grow. Federal bureaucrats according to Congresswoman Bean, know better on how large or how successful a private company should be. Has anyone in the Democratic Party ever read the Constitution of the United States?

Primary Victory for Bean

Congresswoman Melissa Bean has scored an early election victory. Her only challenger in the Democratic Primary election was removed by the Illinois Board of Elections after an objection was filed against Jonathan Farnick by a supporter of Bean.

It seems Congresswoman Bean wants more time to prepare for the General Election in November of 2010 and does not want to waste her time and money in a Democratic Primary Race. From what we hear she may need every minute and penny if she hopes to get reelected to the 8th District Congressional seat.

It might have helped her if she had ever moved into the district or at least visited the district more often.

Congress = Debt

The United States is currently $12 TRILLION in debt, but Congress can do even better. They just added $5 BILLION of our tax dollars to the 2010 Defense Department budget, which was already at $623 BILLION. Congress saw the need to add 1,858 earmark projects to the Pentagon budget. These are projects that were not asked for by the military, but individual congressmen wanted to help friends and contributors to Congressional election campaigns.

Members of Congress have no problem spending our tax dollars to help them get reelected. Congress has no problem adding more debt onto us, our children, and grandchildren. Remember this when voting in November of 2010.

Bean = Debt

The National debt is over $12 TRILLION and growing, the current yearly interest payment on that is $300 BILLION. The current Federal budget deficit is $1.4 TRILLION. That is not enough, so Congress is voting for a new health care plan which will add more to the red ink. I will not even go into the debate on how well other government programs are run or seem to always run up higher costs then predicted. It is not carved into any mountain top that this country can not go bankrupt. We and our grandchildren will be paying for debt until we and they are no more.

With all the above, our member in Congress, Melissa Bean is concerned that abortion rights has been left out of the current version of the health care bill. Since that will cost the taxpayer even more money it should be put into the bill, maybe that will be the straw that will break the back of the Treasury of the United States and throw the country into bankruptcy.

We should remember her YES votes on increasing the national debt come next November.

The Great Debate

The First candidate debate for the 8th District Congressional seat took place at the College of McHenry County on Friday night. T.R. has surveyed several sources of who won and who did not.

All candidates stated that they were Pro-Life and Pro Second Amendment.

The general opinion is Joe Walsh won the debate. He seemed to understand what the audience was looking for and told them exactly what they needed to hear. He started strong and ended strong, very good speaker, very polished.

Maria Rodriguez was a disappointment for most of the audience. For her opening remarks she read from a script, while the others appeared to just share candidly why they should be the Republican Candidate. She did repeat during the debate her experience as Mayor of Long Grove. A good candidate but not the top pick for the group.

Chris Geissler was the surprise candidate of the night. He was very articulate and a fresh new face. He came over strong but he did not hit any home runs. Many were happy with him and hoped that he run again in the future for public office.

Dirk Beveridge did well and was handling the questions well up until the point he said the Tea Party movement needed to be lead and he was the one to do it. He even called himself a community organizer and would create a grass roots campaign to win.

John Dawson made no mistakes and made no great impression on the crowd.

Greg Jacobs made no mistakes.

In the end Joe Walsh in first place, Chris Geissler took second, with Maria Rodriguez and Dirk Beveridge tied for third.
