Why I Oppose the Boehner-Reid Debt Plan

Why I Oppose the Boehner-Reid Debt Plan
The Boehner-Reid plan gives the President an immediate increase in the debt limit and only promises to cut spending in the future. It violates all three principles of the Cut-Cap-Balance Pledge because it does not substantially cut current spending, it does not truly cap future spending, and it does not require the passage of a strong Balanced Budget Amendment before raising the debt limit.

In short, I oppose the Boehner-Reid plan because it won't balance the budget and stop the debt that is destroying our country.
From a member of congress you can trust.

The Sugar Daddy Has Run Out of Sugar; Now We Need New Leaders

The Sugar Daddy Has Run Out of Sugar; Now We Need New Leaders

But let me tell you where real hope lies. It’s not the hopey-changey stuff we heard about in 2008. Real hope comes from realizing how God has blessed our exceptional nation, and then doing something about it. We have been blessed with natural resources, hardworking entrepreneurs, and a Constitution that preserves the greatest form of government ever devised by man. If we develop those natural resources, allow our entrepreneurs to keep and invest more of what they earn, and adhere to the time-tested truths of our Constitution, we will prosper and endure.

But first and foremost we must tackle our debt. We don’t have the luxury of playing politics as usual. We need real leaders who will put aside their own political self-interest to do what is right for the nation. And if they don’t emerge… well, America has a do-over in November 2012.

Ken Melson | Secret Meeting | Project Gunrunner | The Daily Caller

Ken Melson | Secret Meeting | Project Gunrunner | The Daily Caller

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, fired off the letter to Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday detailing what Melson told Congressional investigators in a secret July 4 testimony.

One key takeaway from the meeting was that Melson acknowledged to investigators that agents had witnessed transfers of weapons from straw purchasers to third parties without following the guns afterwards. Straw purchasers are people who could technically legally buy guns in the U.S. but their intent was to turn around and sell them to drug cartels in Mexico.

Another point Melson clarified for investigators was that the ATF group carrying out the mission of Operation Fast and Furious was placed under the direction of the Arizona U.S. Attorney’s office. The U.S. Attorney in Arizona, Dennis Burke, is a political appointee of the Obama administration.

Mission Accomplished

Mission Accomplished
Josh Mandel (R-Ohio)

Thanks to everyone who supported Josh Mandel last week, SCF exceeded its goal of raising 100,000 dollars for his Senate campaign in the Buckeye State. This remarkable achievement was accomplished in the final 72 hours before the 2nd Quarter FEC reporting deadline.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this group's willingness to step up this early in the election cycle. Your efforts will certainly provide an early boost to Josh Mandel's campaign to defeat U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), the most liberal politician in the Senate.
