Obamacare = Train Wreck

Just a week after retiring Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) admitted to the country that Obamacare was going to be a "train wreck," the Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) confirms Baucus' fear. "Max said unless we implement this properly it's going to be a train wreck, and I agree with him," Reid stated in an interview with "The Rusty Humphries Show."

The president sold us Obamacare by stating over and over again that it would cost the taxpayers "not one-dime." However, after 3 years of hiding the truth from Americans, liberal Democrats are finally admitting that the cost will be enormous.

In a round about, Washington elitist type way, Reid acknowledged and threatened that liberal Democrats need to take even more hard-earned taxpayer money just to implement Obamacare. If not, then they promise to shift money away from "less important" aspects of the bill.

Tax, Tax, and then Tax Some More: Obama's Continuing Goal

President Obama finally released his FY 2014 budget more than 2 months late -- breaking yet again the budget law. And almost $1 trillion in new tax increases. That's on top of the $618 billion in the "fiscal cliff" deal.

Part of what he is proposing:

- Limiting deductions for such things as mortgage interest and charitable giving to 28%
-Proposing many more government controls on IRAs and 401(k)s -- hurting those who have scrimped and saved to have a better retirement
-Increasing the death tax from 40% to 45% -- even though putting it at 40% was a compromise
-Increase the tobacco tax by almost 100%
-Almost $100 billion in new taxes on middle class investments and savings

This budget completely violates his campaign pledge to not increase taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year. Bigger government, more spending, more deficits, more taxes -- that is President Obama's plan for the U.S.A.

Obama's Unprecedented Attempts to Expand Federal Power

Sen. Cruz Releases Inaugural Report on Obama Administration's Unprecedented Attempts to Expand Federal Power

Contact: (202) 224-5922 / press@cruz.senate.gov
Tuesday, April 9, 2013

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) today released a report - "The Legal Limit: The Obama Administration's Attempts to Expand Federal Power" - that analyzes six instances in the last 15 months where the U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the Obama Administration's arguments for increased federal power.

"When President Obama's own Supreme Court nominees join their colleagues in unanimously rejecting his Administration's call for broader federal power six times in just over one year, the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama Administration's view of federal power knows virtually no bounds," said Sen. Cruz. "This is a deeply troubling pattern that we will continue to highlight as long as this Administration continues seeking ways to expand its power in direct violation of Americans' constitutional rights."

Sen. Cruz's report highlights the six cases that the Supreme Court has unanimously rejected since January 2012. Had President Obama's Department of Justice been successful in its cases, the federal government would have the power to:

• Attach GPSs to a citizen's vehicle to monitor his movements, without having any cause to believe that a person has committed a crime (United States v. Jones);
• Deprive landowners of the right to challenge potential government fines as high as $75,000 per day and take away their ability have a hearing to challenge those fines (Sackett v. EPA);
• Interfere with a church's selection of its own ministers. (Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. EEOC);
• Override state law whenever the President desires. (Arizona v. United States);
• Dramatically extend statutes of limitations to impose penalties for acts committed decades ago. (Gabelli v. SEC); and
• Destroy private property without paying just compensation. (Arkansas Fish & Game Commission v. United States).

The arguments advanced in these cases demonstrate an astonishing view of federal power on behalf of the Obama Administration that is worthy of further examination. View the full report below:

Are Senate Dems Up in 2014 Flipping and Flopping Just to Save Their Hides?

Up for reelection in 2014, Senators Baucus, Begich, Pryor, and Hgan, are trying to find a more conservative tone -- never mind all their liberal votes. But when you look at their conservative ratings in the 2nd session of the last Congress, the numbers tell a different story -- Baucus 9%, Begich 6%, Hagan 4%, and Pryor 14%. When you consider that the entire Senate is rated 38% conservative, the rating of these four senators isn't very conservative at all.

In 2012, Obama lost the states that each one of these senators represent by an average of 13%. North Carolina, represented by Hagan, was the closest as it was only carried by Mitt Romney by 2.2%.

For example on the Democrats' big spending and more taxes budget proposal, not one of this Gang of Four -- Baucus, Begich, Hagan, and Pryor -- voted for it.

It's the same old story for these kind of Democrats -- speak conservative at home but vote liberal in Wasihngton, DC -- except when you're up soon for reelection.

Conservative Victory Fund Friend and Ally, Congressman Andy Harris Repudiates Obama Sequester Scare

The Obama administration has employed a variety of tactics to frighten the public about the possible consequences of sequestration. Air-traffic control towers will be shuttered. Children will be thrown off Head Start. The nation's guard against terrorism will be lowered.

Republicans, and in some cases the press, have poked some pretty big holes in some of the administration's most extravagant claims. But no one has done a better job than a little-known GOP congressman, Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, who took on officials from the Centers for Disease Control at a House hearing last week.

The occasion was a meeting of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. In questions directed toward Tom Frieden, who is director of the Centers for Disease Control, Harris brought up a White House estimate of the number of children in Maryland who would go without vaccinations if sequestration went into effect. The document said clearly: "2,050 fewer children will get vaccines for diseases like measles and whooping cough."

It was a serious charge, one that could result in suffering and death; the cuts would apparently devastate something known as the 317 vaccination program. From the CDC website:

Section 317 of the Public Health Service Act authorizes the federal purchase of vaccines to vaccinate children, adolescents, and adults. Over its 50 year history, Section 317-purchased vaccine has been directed towards meeting the needs of priority populations; most recently this has included underinsured children not eligible for [the separate Vaccines for Children program], and uninsured adults.

But committee staff had looked into President Obama's plans for the 317 program long before the sequester ever took effect. And what they discovered was that the president, in his 2013 budget, had proposed to cut $58 million from the program. The administration claimed that the money could be saved through greater efficiencies and would not involve any reductions in vaccinations. (The proposed cuts never took place.) What stunned Rep. Harris and others was that after claiming in the 2013 budget last year that $58 million could be cut without harming vaccinations, the CDC this year claimed that sequestration cuts to the same program, estimated at $30 million, would have devastating effects. So Harris - who is also a medical doctor - brought the subject up in questioning CDC director Frieden:

HARRIS: Dr. Frieden, I have a great deal of concern about a document that my office got from the White House that talked about the cuts that were going to occur due to Republicans and affecting children. And I'm going to read their quote about vaccines for children. It says, in Maryland, about 2,050 fewer children will receive vaccines due to reduced funding for vaccinations of about $140,000. Did the CDC assist the White House in preparing that estimate?

FRIEDEN: I would have to get back to you on that.

HARRIS: You as the director don't know if you assisted the White House in preparing an estimate that was distributed to every member of Congress?

FRIEDEN: On that specific number, I would have to - to give you…

HARRIS: OK, let's - let's forget the number. Let's forget the idea of how vaccines for children are going to be affected by the sequester. Is this the vaccine for children program?

FRIEDEN: No, it is not, sir.

HARRIS: Which program is it? Is it 317?

FRIEDEN: Yes, it is, sir.

HARRIS: And what did the president's budget do to 317, the president's prospective budget for 2013?

FRIEDEN: The precise numbers I would have to get back to you.

HARRIS: Does $58 million cut sound familiar?

FRIEDEN: Yes.

HARRIS: And what was the sequester cut?

FRIEDEN: Again, the precise numbers…

HARRIS: Does $30 million sound familiar?

FRIEDEN: I would…

HARRIS: You think that's around ballpark, isn't it? So actually, the president cut the program twice as much in his budget. Can I assume that the president's proposed cut would have reduced funding to 4,100 children in Maryland?

FRIEDEN: As per the justification that was published with that, we've looked at ways that we can run the program more efficiently by helping state and local health departments recoup dollars, for example, for insured patients.

HARRIS: And you can't do that under a sequester, but you can do it under the president's budget? Is that my understanding of your testimony today?

FRIEDEN: I would have to get back to you on that.

HARRIS: So let me get it - let me get it straight. Under the president's cut of $58 million to the 317 program, you think you could get around that to avoid cutting vaccines to children, but under a sequester, that the president blames on Republicans, you don't know if you can do that?

FRIEDEN: We're going to do everything we can to limit any damage that occurs because of the across-the-board cut, but it reduces our flexibility significantly.

HARRIS: Is it your testimony that under the president's proposed cut of $58 million in his budget to the 317 program you could have avoided cuts to vaccines to children in Maryland?

FRIEDEN: We believe that we could have maintained vaccination levels, yes.

HARRIS: Very interesting. I yield back the balance of my time for now.

Harris later learned that the claimed $30 million sequester cut was a high estimate; the actual number for sequestration cuts at CDC will be about $18 million, which should make the cuts even easier to work around. (You can watch video of the Harris-Frieden exchange here.)

"I just found it remarkable that under the president's cuts they could vaccinate everyone, but under the cuts blamed on Republicans they couldn't," Harris said in an interview Tuesday. "When they want to do with less, they can find a way. But when they don't want to find a way to do with less, they claim they can't do things in a budget-restricted environment."

Harris has sent the CDC a list of follow-up questions. But he believes the Centers never really intended to deny children vaccinations - only to try to scare Congress into ending sequestration. "They've been caught with their hand in the cookie jar," Harris said. "I suspect that they would have vaccinated everybody normally. I think there is going to be no decrease in childhood vaccinations from the sequester."

In the end, though, the vaccination episode is one of the most revealing of the whole sequestration fight. Is this how the Obama administration has operated from agency to agency, across the whole government? "There is a part of me that wishes this weren't just the tip of the iceberg, but I think it is," said Harris. "I think this is just one case where they got caught embellishing the effects of sequestration."

Obamacare Equals Higher Costs and Slower Hiring

Latest Federal Reserve Report Acknowledges Health Care Law Slows Hiring and Consumer Spending, Increases Costs

March 7, 2013

Employers Across Country Point to Health Care Law as Reason for Planned Layoffs, Hesitancy to Hire New Employees

ECONOMY ALERT: Warnings of Job Loss Coming True

WASHINGTON, DC - The Federal Reserve yesterday released a report confirming that uncertainty and increased costs caused by the health care law are leading employers to lay off workers and slowing new job creation. The "Beige Book" - which summarizes economic conditions from twelve regions across the country, including Boston, New York, Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco - provides insight into employers' thoughts on how the health care law's increased regulations are forcing premiums and health care costs to rise, increasing burdens on job creators, and consequently, creating uncertainty that hurts job creation.

Increased Premiums and Health Care Costs

Employers in four regions indicated, "rising health insurance premiums remain a challenge" and "concern," and further anticipated health care cost increases "have contributed to a modest decline in consumer confidence." Participants from Chicago explained that these higher costs will be passed along to employees.

Heavy Regulations

Atlanta participants reported, "On balance, firms providing accounting and consulting services to health care providers reported much-increased demand because of regulatory changes, resulting in a shortage of compliance specialists."

Uncertainty Hurts Hiring

Kansas City participants noted, "Firms continued to report changes in health care policy and fiscal uncertainty as reasons for delayed hiring," as well as "planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff." Some employers were concerned that companies are "hiring the absolute minimum to get by due to uncertainty about the Affordable Care Act." Atlanta participants explained, "costs relating to tax policy, regulation, and health care remained sources of uncertainty going into 2013."

Scaretactics? Just Make Sure You Don't Contradict Them...

Email tells feds to make sequester as painful as promised

The White House announced Tuesday that it is canceling tours of the president's home for the foreseeable future as the sequester spending cuts begin to bite and the administration makes good on its warnings of painful decisions.

Announcement of the decision - made in an email from the White House Visitors Office - came hours after The Washington Times reported on another administration email that seemed to show at least one agency has been instructed to make sure the cuts are as painful as President Obama promised they would be.

In the internal email, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service official Charles Brown said he asked if he could try to spread out the sequester cuts in his region to minimize the impact, and he said he was told not to do anything that would lessen the dire impacts Congress had been warned of.

"We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that 'APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.' So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be," Mr. Brown, in the internal email, said his superiors told him.

Neither Mr. Brown nor the main APHIS office in Washington returned calls seeking comment, but Agriculture Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack, who oversees the agency, told Congress he is trying to give flexibility where he can.

"If we have flexibility, we're going to try to use it to make sure we use sequester in the most equitable and least disruptive way," the secretary told Rep. Kristi L. Noem, a South Dakota Republican who grilled Mr. Vilsack about the email. "There are some circumstances, and we've talked a lot about the meat inspection, where we do not have that flexibility because there are so few accounts."

Ms. Noem told Mr. Vilsack that the email made it sound like the administration was sacrificing flexibility in order to justify its earlier dire predictions.

"I'm hopeful that isn't an agenda that's been put forward," the congresswoman told Mr. Vilsack.

Late Tuesday evening, the Agriculture Department issued a statement disputing Mr. Brown's read of the situation. The department said Mr. Brown had suggested dividing his region's cuts among a number of states but he was told that idea was already part of their sequester plans.

"The APHIS budget officer explained that USDA is already proposing these steps in order to avoid furloughs. USDA is committed to doing all we can to minimize the impact of sequester [for] our employees and the farmers, ranchers, and rural communities we serve," the department said in its statement.

The $85 billion in automatic spending cuts began Friday, leaving the White House with tough decisions to make - though it argues its hands are tied by the way the cuts were written into law.

That's left the administration trying to balance dire predictions with good management.

Last week, immigration officials confirmed they were releasing immigrants awaiting deportation from their detention centers in order to save money, and this week top officials said they were already seeing long lines at airports because of cuts in screenings.

But those decisions are being scrutinized as agencies continue to advertise for job openings and spend on other priorities.

The White House had to fend off questions Tuesday about the Homeland Security Department's decision to sign a $50 million contract for new uniforms for airport screeners, just days before the sequesters.

All sides in Washington agree there should be a way to lessen some of the impacts of the cuts.

The House will take at least a step toward that Wednesday when it votes on a new spending bill for the rest of fiscal year 2013 that would mitigate at least some of the sequester impacts in the Defense Department.

Senate Democrats are looking to write an even broader bill to rearrange money in several accounts.

Mr. Obama is pushing for the broadest possible deal later this year that would raise taxes and cut entitlement spending in order to restore some of the money trimmed in sequestration.

The White House said he made calls to some key members of Congress to sound them out on the prospects for that kind of deal.

"The president is engaging with lawmakers of both parties and will continue to do so," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.

For now, though, the cuts remain in place - and that means the end of White House tours.

"Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule affected tours," the White House said in an email to members of Congress.

The decision drew a derisive response from Capitol Hill, where Republicans said the move undercut Mr. Obama's promises of openness.

Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio Republican, said President Lincoln managed to keep the White House open during the darkest days of the Civil War, and wondered why Mr. Obama couldn't do the same.

"If the president is unable to figure out how to keep the White House open to the American people after an 8.2 percent budget cut, then the American people are entitled to some answers from their chief executive as to why."

The Capitol is facing its own cuts.

At the Capitol, staffers entering the building's West Front were told Tuesday that the doorway there would be closed as of next week due to sequestration. That entrance is currently limited to credentialed visitors, so it won't affect the public.

House Republicans Have a Pro-Jobs Energy Agenda from the House Energy and Commerce Committee

House Energy and Commerce Committee

WASHINGTON, DC - Throughout the 112th Congress, House Republicans have fought for pro-growth policies to create jobs emphasizing an "all of the above" energy policy. Sound energy policy is critical to economic growth. In addition to the immense job creation potential directly in the energy sector, the affordable and reliable energy supplies are necessary ingredients for growth across the American economy. Unfortunately, the House's efforts have been met by either resistance or inaction by the Democrat-controlled Senate and the Obama administration. To date, 39 jobs bills, many affecting the energy sector, are held up in the Senate when millions of Americans are out of work or underemployed.

Nothing could be a greater illustration of the president's failed energy policies than the Keystone XL Pipeline. Using every inch of red tape at his disposal, the president has repeatedly delayed a final decision on the pipeline. When Congress finally pressed him to make a decision, the president blocked this landmark jobs and energy project, which is estimated to support 20,000 direct jobs and over 100,000 indirect jobs. The Keystone XL Pipeline will carry nearly a million additional barrels per day of secure North American oil supplies to U.S. refineries. House Republicans have sought every available opportunity to advance the project, voting a total of six times to allow for construction of the pipeline. By contrast, despite pledging in January to do "whatever it takes" to move the economy forward, President Obama personally lobbied the Senate to kill an amendment calling for congressional approval of the pipeline. By blocking construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, the Obama administration is standing in the way of shovel ready jobs and greater energy security.

Another component of House Republicans' pro-jobs, pro-energy agenda includes the Domestic Energy and Jobs Act, which is sponsored by Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO). This legislative package, which passed the House with bipartisan support this summer, includes key measures advanced by the Energy and Commerce Committee to increase American energy supplies and cut through regulatory burdens that could drive up gasoline prices. The bill also includes several legislative proposals from the Natural Resources Committee designed to help create jobs by removing barriers to domestic energy production. While middle class families continue to struggle, 2012 has been one for the record books when it comes to high gas prices. Prices have risen sharply since President Obama took office - from $1.84 per gallon to $3.575 per gallon today. The Domestic Energy and Jobs Act offers a solution to help ease the pain at the pump, embracing our nation's resources to increase access to affordable energy supplies while creating good-paying jobs. A companion bill was introduced by Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) but the Democratic leadership in the Senate has failed to bring the legislation up for a vote.

With coal jobs disappearing by the day, the House stood up and took action by voting on the Stop the War on Coal Act. The legislation was comprised of a series of bills that aim to stop EPA's regulatory assault on America's power sector. The package included three proposals advanced by the Energy and Commerce Committee - the Energy Tax Prevention Act, the Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation (TRAIN) Act, and the Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act - that help protect jobs and affordable energy from the Obama administration's destructive overreach. With millions of Americans out of work and coal mining operations now shuttering across the country, the administration's war on coal is taking its toll. More and more workers are being laid off and families are facing the threat of higher electricity costs at a time when they can least afford it. Sadly, the Stop the War on Coal Act joins the other pro-jobs bills stuck in the Senate.

House Republicans have an energy strategy and legislative record that embraces all of our resources and is truly emblematic of an "all-of-the-above" approach - one that will help achieve North American energy independence and create jobs.

"Washington is broken. My whole campaign has been premised from the start on the idea that we have to fundamentally change how Washington works." - Senator Barack Obama, September 11, 2008

Not only has President Obama failed to fix or change Washington, he has made it worse. In many peoples' minds, Obama is doing two contradictory things. First, not only has Obama failed to change Washington, he has brought his brand of the Chicago machine politics with him -- helping his friends with subsidies and contracts at the expense of the taxpayer. Second, his left wing, ideologically driven approach, results in him dividing our nation by sex, race, religion, and socioeconomic class. This is particularly evident in his reelection campaign.

Obama's radical, government centered policies, have hurt our economy
He has run our national debt to $16 trillion and counting, leading to further financial disaster.
According to the House Ways and Means Committee, the pace of job creation by the Obama Administration has been slower than that of the Great Depression and the real unemployment rate (discouraged workers who dropped out or never joined the workforce) is actually around 11%.
During his first two years in office, he had control of both Houses of Congress, yet failed to get anything done except more spending and Obamacare, which 56% of the nation still opposes.
His closest ally in the Senate, Senator Harry Reid, has failed to produce a budget in over 1,250 days.

Obama's "all-of-the-above" energy approach is a lie
He has denied access to 98% of America's energy supplies in East and West Coast waters. There, 86 billion barrels of oil continue to be off limits.
He has doubled the cost of gas to a national average from $1.84 to $3.78 for a gallon of regular.
The Obama Administration has increased the amount of U.S. government owned land that is off limits to energy exploration and development.

The "I know best" strategy has resulted in him ignoring the will of Congress
Obama has usurped the legislative process with multiple, unlawful and unconstitutional executive orders (18 that we know of), most recently, by unilaterally giving temporary legal status to illegal aliens under the age of 30.
He unilaterally appointed Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three people to the National Labor Relations Board without Senate approval.

As can be seen from above, Obama's ideas for change to go backwards.

The Supreme Court Says Government Can Order You To Buy What the Government Says

The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision on Obamacare's individual mandate is an attack on every American's liberty. According to the narrow 5-4 majority what the government tells you to buy is what you now have to buy.

One wonders how much Obama's attack on the Supreme Court influenced Chief Justice Robert's opinion. Also, the 5-4 majority ruled that payments for health insurance are actually a "tax" --- exactly the opposite of what Obama and his cronies Reid and Pelosi said it wasn't while they were working to get it passed.

Congress must step up and protect our liberty by repealing the abomination of Obamacare.

-Ron believes in reversing Obama's big government policies and in electing more leaders who are faithful to the conservative principles in which our nation was founded.

-Ron believes that the best way to balance the budget is through spending cuts and by repealing onerous regulations that hamper the independent, American spirit.

Conservative Victory Fund is proud to endorse Ron DeSantis for Congress. The U.S. Congress needs more leaders who will fight for their constituents rather than for bigger government and bigger deficits.

Walker Eviscerates Opponent: Lessons for November

The liberal left Democrats are already spinning the huge victory by Governor Scott Walker as not meaning very much. They ignore that Governor Walker built on his close 2010 victory to win this time with almost a 7% spread between him and his Democrat opponent.

Perhaps the Democrats and the lame stream media's views are best summed up in a Washington Post headline. "Gov. Walker survives recall in Wisconsin." It was quite a bit more than survival. It was a large victory for Governor Walker and his policies.

What does it mean? If a conservative Scott Walker can beat the liberal Democrats in Wisconsin, there just may be hope for conservative Republicans and for Mitt Romany in numerous other states this coming November. Walker defended his policies and talked about the future. The unions and his opponent ran a reactionary campaign that really revolved around getting millions in union dues back.

Wisconsin shows that conservatives who lay out their policies for the future and stick to their message can win. Let's take those lessons on to November.

CVF Endorsed Tom Cotton Wins Arkansas Primary

Conservative Victory Fund Endorses David McIntosh

The Conservative Victory Fund (CVF), the nation's oldest conservative campaign committee endorses David McIntosh for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 5th District of Indiana.

In Congress David McIntosh will fight for the principles of limited and responsible government, free markets, and traditional American values:

ï'· He believes in cutting government spending and lowering taxes to keep more money in the private sector to foster job creation. He rightly believes that the free enterprise system creates jobs, not the government.

ï'· David believes that the free markets should drive our energy policy. Government cannot force technology to advance, it is through the efforts of the innovators, not government, that efficient energy use and production will thrive.

ï'· Obamacare is a dangerous example of government overreaching its Constitutional power and David has sworn to take action to repeal it. He recognizes that Obamacare means government control of medicine and control over the life of every American.

Conservative Victory Fund is proud to endorse David McIntosh for Congress.

The late conservative leader Congressman John Ashbrook founded Conservative Victory Fund (CVF) more than forty years ago. CVF works to elect a conservative majority to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

The Conservative Victory Fund (CVF), the nation's oldest conservative campaign committee, endorses Tom Cotton for the U.S. House of Representatives 4th District in Arkansas.

Tom Cotton is a dedicated conservative who stands for principles of limited and responsible government, free markets, and traditional American values:

Tom is a decorated combat veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, having earned a Bronze Star. Tom has proven his dedication to protecting American ideals.

Tom firmly believes in stopping wasteful Government spending and balancing the federal budget. He will work to save and strengthen Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security by introducing consumer choice and competition before these important programs collapse under the burden of debt.

Tom believes in reforming the tax code to make it simpler while reducing overall tax rates and eliminating loopholes. These reforms will return power from Washington back to the taxpayer.

Tom will fight to shrink the size of government by repealing Obamacare, the Dodd-Frank Act and by passing the REINS Act. Tom understands that overregulation hurts businesses and destroys jobs.


Tom Cotton is also committed to family values. He will stand up for the people of Arkansas against the liberal special interests in Washington, DC. Conservative Victory Fund is proud to endorse him for Congress.

Change Is Happening -- And It's Change Obama, Pelosi, and Reid Don't Like

The Obama Administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress continue larger and larger deficits, more bailouts, a healthcare law that is costing more and more, impending huge tax increases, and the list goes on..

Today there are Congressional seats that are in play that would have never been in play two years ago. And look at what has already happened - and the primary season is just beginning.

In Utah long-time Senator Bob Bennett was denied renomination at the state GOP convention. And in West Virginia, a liberal Democrat incumbent was handily defeated in his primary by a Democrat who ran to his right.

Even the queen of the liberal media, the New York Times, admits that there are a dozen entrenched Democrats that face rare challenges. One of those, the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee David Obey of Wisconsin, has announced his retirement. Obey received over 60% of the vote in 2008.

There are more changes coming.

2010: Opportunities in the U.S. House

The 2008 elections showed that big government Republicanism does not work. With even bigger government, more government control, and out of control spending under President Obama and the Democrats in solid control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, opportunities exist for conservatives to pick up seats in 2010.

Taking a quick look at the U.S. House of Representatives, there are 49 House districts that McCain carried but were won by a Democrat for Congress -- a good number of these seats can be won by a conservative Republican.

The recent climate warming bill and energy cost-raising bill (the cap and tax bill) that narrowly won in the U.S. House offers more opportunities. Five Midwestern Democrats who won narrowly in 2008 voted for the bill even though it will harm their districts. Another half dozen from states with high utility costs voted for the bill even though this bill will increase energy and utility costs.

All these offer opportunities for strong conservative candidates with good campaigns and adequate funding.
