"Those Voices Don't Speak for the Rest of Us"
August 17, 2010Made by the House Republican Study Committee, this video shows our 40th President as contrasted with today's Democrat leadership. The differences could not be more stark. The Democrats come across as silly and childish, while Reagan demonstrates leadership and command of the issues and our founding principles.
This November the choice is equally clear. The Democrats believe in big-government solutions for everything, which also gave us government run health care and the "stimulus." Republicans stand for responsible reform guided by our free market principles.
As Reagan says in the video, the American people can plan their lives better than "a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital." More, "a government can't control the economy without controlling people, and they know that when it sets out to do that it must use force and coercion to achieve it's purpose."
Reagan's words ring as true today as they did then. Free market principles and individual freedom are the keys to a strong, prosperous, America. -
Governor McDonnell Produces a Budget Surplus
July 15, 2010Governor McDonnell and his team of Republicans in the Virginia House of Delegates and State Senate. Rather than raise taxes on an already stressed economy as Creigh Deeds would most likely have done, they went to work on the budget and made the hard decisions. The result is a $220 million budget surplus. ... Most importantly, they sent the money we have to where it is needed most; schools and transportation.
From the July 15, 2010 Washington Post story "Budget surplus loosens purse strings a bit in Virginia:"
"For the first time in nearly four years, Virginia state employees are going to get a pay boost. And after years of cuts so deep that teachers were laid off and highways went unrepaired, schools and roads are going to get millions in unexpected state cash."
"The rare bit of positive news came Wednesday, when Gov. Robert F. McDonnell announced that Virginia has an unexpectedly large budget surplus of about $220 million. The surplus makes Virginia one of at least 10 states that have reported finishing the past fiscal year in the black, and it provides hope that the recovery is real."
""Economic activity is on a slight uptick in Virginia, which we can embrace and celebrate," McDonnell said. "I think we're tracking in the right direction.""

Meet Wolf's Opponent
June 24, 2010Meet Jeff Barnett; the Democrat nominee who will challenge Rep Frank Wolf for the 10th Congressional District.
In this video, Barnett says that "the biggest regret that I have was that I was not already a member of Congress so I could be on the floor to vote for (Obamacare)."
Barnett therefore stakes himself out as a Pelosi-Reid Democrat. If he regrets not being able to vote for the health care bill, we can only assume that he he regrets not having been able to vote for the runaway deficits implemented by this President.
Congressman Frank Wolf, on the other hand, voted against Obamacare and other Obama-Pelosi-Reid budget-busters such as the "stimulus."
The choice this year is clear: While Jeff Barnett supports Obamacare, Rep Frank Wolf supports responsible reform that prevents increases in government spending and is arrived at in a transparent process. Wolf says "no" to government healthcare.

Ken Cuccinelli v. Obamacare
June 17, 2010Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has taken point on the fight against Obamacare. The United States will be fundamentally changed by this legislation if it is allowed to stand. Our founders created a federal union of states, but Obama and the Democrats want to fundamentally change this. Obamacare allows the federal (soon to be central) government to decide:
1. Who is your doctor
2. What is covered
3. Your level of treatment
Our Attorney General needs our help in the court of public opinion. Take action and write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper voicing your support of what Ken is doing on our behalf. You can email noah@cuccinelli.com for information that can be used to educate the public about this important issue.In addition, call Congressman Frank Wolf. Call your senators. Let your voice be heard.
