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

Carly Fiorina Makes Final Push as Voters Head to Polls in Statewide Primary Election VIDEO

LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA – As voters head to the polls in California’s statewide primary election, U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today made a final push for her campaign to defeat Barbara Boxer.

“Today, we are at what Ronald Reagan once called ‘a time for choosing.’ We must all choose to make a difference in Sacramento and in Washington – not separately, but together,” said Fiorina. “It is only in America that a law school dropout and a receptionist could rise to become the chief executive officer of one of the largest companies in the world. That’s the American Dream I want to protect for my grandchildren; that’s why I’m so honored to have the freedom and the opportunity today to both cast a ballot for change and to run for the United States Senate to defeat Barbara Boxer, a failed career politician.”

In the final days leading up to Election Day, Fiorina has been traveling the state to talk with Californians about the importance of firing Barbara Boxer this November and about the reasons she is the candidate best positioned to do so. Fiorina has crisscrossed the state holding phone banks in the Central Coast, the Central Valley and in Southern California. After casting her vote in the Bay Area, Fiorina will travel to Orange County to join campaign volunteers at a phone bank in Tustin to make get-out-the-vote phone calls to Republican primary voters asking them for their support at the polls today and in November.
