Big Government is the Problem, Not the Answer

With the economy continuing to struggle, oil pouring into the Gulf Coast and a budget deficit that crossed $13 trillion, President Obama took the stage yesterday to convince us that an expansion of government is the cure for America’s ills.

The idea that we can tax and spend our way to prosperity has been rejected in Virginia, New Jersey and even Massachusetts. Now it is our turn in Arkansas.

You can be assured, regardless of which candidate wins the Democratic nomination, their nominee will be pro-Big Government, right in line with this Administration. They can’t hide that with their rhetoric, when they have a record that says otherwise. A continuation of the failed tax and spend policies of the Obama Administration is not “change” nor is it “standing up for Arkansas.”

It is the exact opposite of the direction Arkansans want our country to take.

Cut taxes to encourage real, sustainable jobs in the private sector instead of disposable jobs which will disappear when the stimulus money runs out. And invest in our future instead of expanding the scope of government at the expense of the next generation.

We have a long road ahead of us, but this election is too important for us to sit idle. Regardless of who our opponent is June 8th, they will not represent what Arkansas needs. We can win because we are right on the issues. Our message is the right message for Arkansas and the nation. Join me in this campaign, get involved, and help me restore your voice to the
