John Boozman Beat Blanche Lincoln Sign the Petition

Senator Lincoln has ignored Arkansas's voice and continually sided with the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Big Government agenda. Do you want to restore your voice to the U.S. Senate? If so, then I have something you can do: Please sign John Boozman's "Beat Blanche Lincoln" petition today and then share it with your friends.

Our goal is to identify voters by county that are committed to voting against Senator Lincoln and then ask them to recruit their friends. We've set an initial goal of 10,000 signatures.

Will you sign John Boozman petition today? And then ask your friends and family to do so as well? Working together we can restore Arkansas's voice in the US Senate!

Steny Hoyer Permanent Middle Class Tax Cuts Too Expensive VIDEO

The other shoe drops for desperate Dems. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) announced that the House will not pass a budget blueprint this year.

Leader: House Won’t Pass Budget Resolution Boozman says ‘failure to govern’

Since the implementation of current budget rules in 1974, the House of Representatives has never failed to pass a budget resolution – until now. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) today announced that the House of Representatives will not pass a budget blueprint this year.

This “is a failure by the Majority to govern at its most basic level,” U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) said in a speech on the House Floor. During his remarks, Boozman said Washington needs to make difficult financial decisions just like hardworking Arkansas families are forced to do.

The following is a transcript of Boozman’s comments:

Mr. Speaker when hardworking Arkansans receive their paychecks they are forced to make difficult decisions about their finances and how they spend their money. Arkansas families are forced to tighten their belts in this economic climate and change their spending habits and they expect Washington to do the same.

It is the job of Congress to be responsible stewards of taxpayer money, but not passing a budget is far from responsible, it is a failure by the Majority to govern at its most basic level.

The level of discretionary increases and spending in the past year is unsustainable. Failing to produce a budget only places future burdens on our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We need fiscal discipline and a balanced budget that controls the national debt, does not raise taxes and achieves lower deficits. Not passing a budget for the first time in modern history demonstrates how out of touch Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer are with the American people and shows the lack of leadership. We owe it to the American people to do better.

I yield back the balance of my time.

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 fact remains that Americans are not buying it. Big Government is not the solution. It is the problem. 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.

We want our nation to get back to the basics. Balance the budget instead of increasing the debt. 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
