Rubio For Senate Releases New Web Video: “A Political Move”

Miami, FL – With Floridians calling Charlie Crist’s “photo-op” special session a blatant political move meant more to protect the governor’s political career than our beaches, the Rubio for Senate campaign today released a new web video entitled, “A Political Move.” Across the state, Crist’s Washington-style political gimmick is leading to questions about the governor’s motives because ultimately his amendment will do nothing to help Panhandle businesses, keep oil off our beaches or prevent future oil spills.

Miami, FL – Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate today announced that it received more than $860,000 in campaign contributions during the past ten days through its www.StimulusBomb.com campaign and from Sen. Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund. The ten day total is nearly half of what the campaign raised during the entire fourth quarter of 2009.

“I’m encouraged by the support we’ve received this month from people who believe a return to limited government is what will keep America free and prosperous,” said Rubio. “We are pleased with our progress, but also realize we have a long way to go to compete with one of the most prolific fundraisers in political history.”

This effort marked Rubio for Senate’s best fundraising week since the campaign first launched last year. The money raised was more than double what Rubio raised in the second quarter of 2009, and nearly matched the $1 million he raised in the third quarter of 2009. More than 11,000 contributors donated to both the Rubio and Senate Conservatives Fund stimulus campaigns, with donors registering an average contribution of approximately $75.

“Today’s encouraging news would not be possible without Marco’s positive, issues-based message and the growing support of people who support his vision for limited government principles,” said Rubio for Senate spokesman Alex Burgos. “Unfortunately, we are going to need every single penny raised to refute the increasingly desperate and dishonest attacks Charlie Crist has been launching at Marco Rubio on a daily basis.”

Making the announcement, Bush said, “I’ve known Marco Rubio for years and saw what he could do during the six years he spent working alongside my father promoting ideas and reform-based conservatism. He is a rock-solid conservative and the leader Floridians deserve in the U.S. Senate to advocate for limited government and greater personal freedoms.

Marco’s deeply rooted principles and can-do spirit will make him a powerful voice on behalf of those who want to hold Washington accountable for its excesses while offering bold solutions to our nation’s challenges.”

Today’s announcement comes in advance of a Rubio for Senate campaign fundraiser being held tonight in Coral Gables, FL. The event is co-hosted by George P. Bush, as well as his brother, Jeb Bush, Jr., who endorsed Rubio in May 2009.

In welcoming Bush’s endorsement, Rubio said, “George P. Bush is a rising star who is carrying on his family’s great tradition of defending and promoting the Republican ideals we hold dear. As a businessman, family man and public servant, George P. Bush understands firsthand what our state and nation have at stake in the coming election. I am proud to have his support as we work to get America back on a limited government track.”

About George P. Bush: Raised in Miami, FL, George P. Bush is currently a partner at Pennybacker Capital, a real estate private equity firm headquartered in Austin, TX.

Marco Rubio Praises McCollum’s Challenge to Constitutionality of Health Care Reform

Miami, FL – U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio today (01/04/09) issued the following statement in support of Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum’s efforts to challenge the constitutionality of federal health care legislation: “I commend Attorney General McCollum’s pre-emptive effort to clean up the mess federal health care legislation stands to make if it becomes law. In their quest to pass a bill by any means necessary, Democrats have proven there is no price they aren’t willing to pay even if it means violating the U.S. Constitution through the imposition of an individual mandate that would force Floridians to obtain insurance or face penalties.

“As attorneys general and elected officials across the country have pointed out, the government takeover of health care rammed through Congress runs contrary to the freedoms Americans have enjoyed since our founding. This is particularly true in Florida where our state constitution guarantees us ‘the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into [our] private life.’ Accordingly, I support Attorney General McCollum’s effort to question the constitutionality of the health care legislation and his office’s exploration of Florida’s legal options should this legislation eventually become law.

“When he endorsed President Obama’s failed stimulus, Charlie Crist embraced a policy that similarly called for more taxes, more spending and more government intrusion into Floridians’ lives. It also helped Democrats set the course for other government interventions like this health care policy.

“Aided by the support of a few Republicans like Charlie Crist, President Obama and the Democrat Congress have been unrelenting in their push toward big government intrusions in economic policy, energy policy and health care policy. In the face of this relentless onslaught, individual states should take necessary action to protect their citizens’ freedom and limit government by pursuing bold actions to tighten the reins on Washington. State leaders have an obligation to speak clearly and forcefully against what is being done in Washington on health care, and I commend Attorney General McCollum for doing just that.

Marco Rubio Comments on President Obama’s Jobs Summit

Miami, FL – U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio today released the following statement regarding President Obama’s Jobs Summit: “With America’s unemployment at 10.2 percent and Florida’s at a 34-year high, it’s clear the $787 billion stimulus has failed to get Americans back to work as President Obama, the Democrat Congress and Governor Crist promised. Their failed policies have had devastating consequences for the millions of Americans who are out of work.

“Today’s jobs summit reminds us that governing by photo-op and showmanship is no substitute for sound policy. True economic development and job creation begins by empowering small businessmen and women, cutting government red tape, reducing the anxiety Americans feel about runaway Washington spending, and pursuing bold and far-reaching tax reform. Growing government through the stimulus and other liberal initiatives simply cannot replace or compete with the private sector’s limitless potential to create jobs and prosperity.

“If the President, congressional Democrats and their allies are serious about job creation, they should abandon their current path of job-killing government takeovers of health care, cap-and-trade and even another round of wasteful stimulus spending. Instead, they should enact tax policies that encourage private sector investment, work to open new markets for American goods, and salvage what’s left of unused stimulus funds by redirecting them towards the entrepreneurs and risk-takers who built our economy in the first place.”
