Can you hear us yet?

This past Wednesday afternoon the leaders of the New Democrat Coalition visited to the Oval Office, their membership includes Melissa Bean, Illinois 8th District. President Obama reminded them how important it was for them to vote for the Democrat Health-care Bill. The majority of the American People wants Congress to start over and produce a Health-care program that will not mortgage our future. If Melissa Bean and the rest of Congress does not listen to the People, the People this November will replace the members in Congress.

Have you met Joe yet?

Congress vs the PEOPLE

The first post-primary Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 telephone survey of the Kirk-Giannoulias race finds Republican Mark Kirk holds a modest 46% to 40% lead over Democrat Alexi Giannoulias in the race for the Illinois Senate following the February party primaries. In the survey voters not affiliated with either of the major parties, Mark Kirk holds a sizable 59% to 22% lead.

The poll also showed President Obama native of Illinois is less popular in the state today. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Illinois voters approve of the job the president is doing while 45% disapprove. Those figures include 33% who strongly approve and 35% who strongly disapprove.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of Illinois voters say the federal government has become a special interest group, and 67% think the government and big business often work together to hurt consumers and investors.

This does not look good for Democrat incumbents to Congress. Could this be the real motive for the attack from the Liberal media against Congressional candidate Joe Walsh? The Liberal media that supports President Obama and wants him to have the support in Congress from members of Congress like Melissa Bean. They fail to take into account that the PEOPLE do not approve of the programs that Congress and the President want.

Vote Congress Out

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds 73% of voters agree with Vice President Biden that "Washington right now is broken." Of those surveyed just 15% disagree with the vice president's analysis of the political situation in the nation's capital. Of that survey 12% more are not sure.

However, 75% of all voters now say they are angry at the government's current policies, 60% think neither Republican leaders nor Democratic leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today.

Another 63% believe, generally speaking, that it would be better for the country if most Congressional incumbents were defeated this November. Their confidence in their own congressman also continues to fall. That would include the incumbent Congresswoman Melissa Bean from the 8th District.

Most voters continue to be against the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, which Congresswoman Bean voted for.

The Declaration of Independence, states that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed." Today, however, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that the federal government has the consent of the governed.

Obama = More Taxes

President Obama has hinted that he may have to go back on his campaign promise against raising taxes on Americans making less than $250,000 a year. So how is that hope and change thing working out America?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that even if the President and Congress raise taxes to reduce the federal deficit, 58% of voters think they are more likely to spend the money on new government programs. Which means our grandchildren will be even deeper in debt.

Just 23% believe they are more likely to use the new tax money for deficit reduction, and another 19% aren't sure.

Another Rasmussen poll shows that the vast majority of voters nationwide (83%) of Americans say the size of the federal budget deficit is due more to the unwillingness of politicians in Washington to cut government spending. Congress is out of control when it comes to spending and it needs to stop NOW.

Our current member of Congress Melissa Bean has been on the side of new spending to solve the nation’s economic problems. It is time to go back to spending only what we can afford and not leave future generations with the bill. It is time to elect someone that will represent the people of the 8^th District.
