Ohio Republican Party David Pepper Ellen O'Shaughnessy Big Spenders VIDEO

VOTE for Dave Yost and Jon Husted on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Text Transcript:

narrator: "Barack Obama can't spend enough of your money.

Neither can David Pepper. As unemployment doubled, Pepper lobbied for millions in higher taxes, and Pepper used our tax dollars to buy everything from expensive office furniture to a boat.

Then there is Mary Ellen O'Shaughnessy.

She's a career politician who has run for five different offices.

As Ohio lost jobs, O'Shaughnessy used our tax dollars to double her own pay.

Washington spending is bad enough.

Ohio can't afford Pepper and O'Shaughnessy."

Citizen's Against Government Waste's Porker of the Month Debbie Wasserman Schultz! VIDEO

CAGW Names Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz October Porker of the Month

(Washington, D.C.) - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) October Porker of the Month for exaggerating the effect of the failed economic stimulus program, making dubious claims about jobs numbers, and misleading the American people about the true economic picture.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz made the following claim about job creation, “On the pace that we’re on with job creation in the last four months — if we continue on that pace — all the leading economists say it is likely that we will — we will have created more jobs in this year than in the entire Bush presidency.”

According to an October 12, 2010 article in National Review by Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center, “During the Bush presidency, net totalemployment went up by 1.08 million jobs. So far, during the Obama presidency, total employment has been reduced by 3.3 million jobs.”

“Rep. Wasserman Schultz is one of the ‘say-anything’ crowd; she and her ilk never let the facts get in the way of a good story,” said CAGW President Tom Schatz. “Instead of spinning the facts to create a fairy tale of economic recovery, she ought to be working to cut wasteful government spending and decrease the tax and regulatory burdens on American businesses. Maybe the country then can experience a real recovery, not Rep. Wasserman Schultz’s fantasy recovery,” said Schatz.

For making false claims about job creation, and her mendacious attitude toward the facts of our economic crisis, CAGW names Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz its October 2010 Porker of the Month.

Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government. Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers, government officials, and political candidates who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers. ###

Chris Christie not about to keep fiscally strapped New Jersey on the hook for overruns

Governor Chris Christie holds his tenth Town Hall Meeting on his Reform Agenda in Moorestown, N.J. on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010. (Governor's Office/Tim Larsen)

Further burdening New Jerseyans with unaffordable public obligations is as Governor Christie said, “how we got ourselves in to the awful fiscal mess” and is why he must “make the hard decisions” that are necessary to “return our state to fiscal health”… New York Post, “In the long run, New Jersey will be better off for that decision”: “Proving once again that he's de determined to restore fiscal sanity to New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie has stuck to his guns and reaffirmed his initial decision to kill the Hudson River tunnel project. Yes, that will hurt commuters, who've long sought relief from congested rail and road traffic.

But so would a sharp increase in New Jersey's gas tax and other levies that would probably rise sky-high to pay for this bloated project…He understands that government construction projects come with automatic cost inflation. And he's not about to keep fiscally strapped New Jersey on the hook for overruns, which is ultimately what Washington proposes to do. "I cannot place upon the citizens of New Jersey an open-ended letter of credit, and that's what this project represents," he said yesterday. Good for him…In the long run, New Jersey will be better off for that decision.” (“A tunnel too far,” New York Post, 10/28/2010)

Wall Street Journal, Governor Christie affirmed that New Jersey “…must finally recognize its limits”:

"I cannot place upon the citizens of the State of New Jersey an open-ended letter of credit," said Garden State Governor Chris Christie yesterday. Mr. Christie was affirming his decision to cancel a bloated project to build a new railroad tunnel under the Hudson River to New York City. He also affirmed that a government that already taxes its citizens more heavily than any other state in the country and has still racked up more than $100 billion in unfunded liabilities must finally recognize its limits. The proposed tunnel was a joint project of the state of New Jersey, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, with each contributing roughly equal amounts. The catch was that Jersey would pay for any cost overruns…It's hard to blame Mr. Christie for sparing taxpayers from such a fate. (“Christie Gets Off the Train,” Wall Street Journal, 10/28/2010)

Star-Ledger Editorial Board, “Give him this…We are paying for yesterday’s sins”:

“We just can’t afford it,” he said yesterday. Give him this: The state’s gigantic pension and health obligations make this much harder. We are paying for yesterday’s sins. (“Christie to tunnel commuters: Drop dead,” Star-Ledger Editorial Board, 10/28/2010)

Innovation News, "We believe that Governor Chris Christie was right to have terminated the trans-Hudson tunnel project as currently conceived":

“We believe that Governor Chris Christie was right to have terminated the trans-Hudson tunnel project as currently conceived. In its current state, ARC is purely a local commuter rail connection to Manhattan with a terminus adjacent to Penn Station but not even tied into its Amtrak intercity lines. An investment on this scale should be considered in a larger context of the proposed Amtrak's NE Corridor high-speed line. As such, it is properly a project of regional or even national significance and should be funded primarily by the federal government and not by New Jersey taxpayers. As we have noted earlier, if there is one corridor in this country that justifies and deserves true high-speed rail service by virtue of its urban densities, passenger flows, economic activity and sheer size and importance, it's the Boston-to-Washington corridor. More than any other transportation initiative of recent years, the Amtrak concept plan evokes the tradition of what Felix Rohatyn has called America’s "bold endeavors" — a series of grand transportation enterprises that began with the Erie Canal and the transcontinental railroad in the 19th century and continued into the 20th century with the Panama Canal and the Interstate Highway System. The Northeast Corridor High-Speed Rail Line would be a truly worthy 21st century inheritor of that tradition. And the Trans-Hudson Tunnel could be a fitting beginning to this bold venture. We agree with the N.J. Alliance for Action that the $3 billion federal commitment to the ARC tunnel should be redirected to Amtrak for construction of the trans-Hudson tunnel as an integral part and essential first element of Amtrak's plans to develop high-speed rail service in the Northeast Corridor. We further believe, along with Rep John Mica (R-FL), that any future federal high-speed rail assistance should be focused primarily on making the Amtrak vision a reality rather than dissipated among many "high-speed" rail corridors of questionable merit.” ("Governor Christie's Trans-Hudson Tunnel Decision", Innovation News, 10/27/2010) # # #

STATEMENT OF GOV. BARBOUR ON PRELIMINARY OCTOBER REVENUES

“The state’s preliminary revenue collections as of today came in slightly higher than our conservative estimate for the fiscal year. October revenue was 1.87 percent, or $7.3 million, more than we had anticipated.

While I’m pleased to report that we surpassed the estimate, the need to prepare our state for another difficult fiscal year still exists. The economy still is not strong, and the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds dictates that we prepare a Fiscal Year 2012 budget recognizing that Mississippians expect their government to prioritize state spending rather than reach deeper into their pockets.”

Meg Whitman on Jerry Brown admitting he didn't have a plan when he ran for Governor of California and it was all a lie "Again" VIDEO

The Meg Whitman for Governor campaign released a new 30-second statewide television ad titled "Again" focusing on Jerry Brown's CNN interview where he admitted he didn't have a plan when he ran for Governor of California and it was all a lie.

Please see the following statement made by Meg Whitman at an event this morning in Salinas. Whitman's statement came in response to yesterday's news report that former Governor Gray Davis believes Governor Jerry Brown will go to voters with a tax increase if he is re-elected on Tuesday. Gray Davis is Brown's former top advisor and political confidante:

"I saw today that former Governor Gray Davis says that if Jerry Brown is elected, we will have a special election in the spring to ask voters for even higher taxes. Talk about March Madness! More taxes in a recession. And Gray Davis ought to know; he was Jerry Brown's right hand man for years. Voters, you are warned. Jerry Brown will bring more spending, more taxes and more lost jobs to California." -- Meg Whitman, Republican nominee for Governor

Brown's Former Top Advisor Indicated That Jerry Brown Would Present A Tax Increase To Voters Next Year:

"Former Gov. Gray Davis, No Stranger To Special Elections After Being Recalled In 2003, Speculated Wednesday That California Would Face A Special Ballot Issues Election Next Spring." (Kevin Yamamura, "Gray Davis: Expect Another Special Election Next Year," blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2010/10/gov-davis-expect-another-speci, 10/27/10)

"Davis Pointed To Billions In Tax Revenues That Will Expire Next Year, Creating A Deep Hole In The Next Budget. He Said That Would Force A Conversation About Whether To Extend Current, Higher Tax Rates On Income, Sales And Vehicles -- And That Such A Conversation Would Involve The Voters." (Kevin Yamamura, "Gray Davis: Expect Another Special Election Next Year, blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2010/10/gov-davis-expect-another-speci, 10/27/10)

Christine O'Donnell Responds to Gawker on Hannity VIDEO

O'Donnell Campaign Statement on the Universal Condemnation of the Gawker Story
by Christine O'Donnell for US Senate on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 8:45pm

Wilmington, DE – Communications Director Doug Sachtleben stated in response to the universal condemnation of the Gawker story:

"This story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female candidates are forced to deal with. From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine's political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks -- all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race. Even the National Organization for Women gets it, but Christine’s opponent disturbingly does not. As Chris Coons said on September 16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine. Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. Such attacks are truly shameful, but they will not distract us from making our case to Delaware voters -- and keeping the focus on Chris Coons’ record of higher taxes, increased spending, and as he has done again here, breaking his promises to the voters."

The National Organization for Women (NOW) on Thursday condemned the tabloid website Gawker for publishing an anonymous account: NOW issued a statement late Thursday stating that “sexist, misogynist attacks against women have no place in the electoral process, regardless of a particular candidate’s political ideology.”

“NOW repudiates Gawker’s decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment. And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O’Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere,” said NOW president Terry O’Neill.

Congressman John Boehner Weekly Republican Address TEXT PODCAST VIDEO 10/30/10

Podcast of the address: Download MP3 for PODCAST FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT BELOW. Video of the address available for download here. Saturday, October 30, 2010 || MP4 File || MPEG File || MOV File (FULL HD) ||

Washington (Oct 30) - With Americans demanding a new way forward in Washington, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) uses the Weekly Republican Address to outline solutions for ending economic uncertainty, stopping government’s spending binge, and changing the way Congress does business. In the address, Boehner notes that this is a new approach that hasn’t been tried in Washington – by either party – and it is at the core of the Pledge to America, a governing agenda Republicans built by listening to the people.

Leader Boehner recorded the weekly address earlier this week from Ohio, where he ran a small business and saw first-hand how Washington can make it harder for employers and entrepreneurs to meet a payroll and create jobs

Hello. I’m John Boehner.

“Before I served in Congress, I ran a small business here in Ohio, and I saw first-hand how politicians in Washington can make it harder for small employers to meet a payroll and create jobs.

“In the final days of the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama promised to ‘change this country and change the world.’

“Well I don’t know about the world, but here at home, Americans haven’t experienced the change President Obama promised. One in ten of our fellow citizens is out of work. Our national debt has grown by $3 trillion Trust in government has fallen to an all-time low.

“These problems didn’t start under President Obama. But instead of fixing them, his policies have made them worse. A ‘stimulus’ spending spree that created jobs in China and El Salvador, while millions of Americans lost their jobs here. A job-killing national energy tax. A government takeover of health care.

“All these things have combined to create massive uncertainty for small businesses, the engine of job creation in America, while our children face a future clouded by debt.

“Americans are demanding a new way forward in Washington – an approach that neither party has tried.

“It starts with cutting spending instead of increasing it; making government smaller and more accountable; and helping small businesses get back to creating jobs again.

“That’s what Republicans are offering with our Pledge to America, a governing agenda built by listening to the people.

“A generation of fiscal recklessness in Washington has pushed us to the brink. Just to stay afloat, we’re now borrowing 41 cents of every dollars we spend from our kids and grandkids.

“This spending spree threatens our children’s future. It’s also hurting our economy. Americans know it has to stop, and our Pledge to America puts forth a plan to do just that. We’re ready to cut spending to pre-‘stimulus,’ pre-bailout levels, saving taxpayers $100 billion almost immediately. And we’re ready to put in place strict budget caps that limit spending from here on out, to ensure that Washington is no longer on this spending binge.

“We need to stop the coming tax hike. We can’t balance the budget without cutting spending and achieving real economic growth – and we won’t have real economic growth if we raise taxes on small businesses and families.

“There’s a third thing we need to do to help our economy, and that’s change Congress itself. The American people are in charge of this country, and they deserve a Congress that acts like it. Americans should have three days to read all bills before Congress votes on them – something they didn’t get when the ‘stimulus’ was rushed into law. We should put an end to so-called ‘comprehensive’ bills that make it easy to hide wasteful spending projects and job-killing policies. Bills should be written by legislators in committee in plain public view – not written in the Speaker’s office, behind closed doors.

“Across our nation, Americans are looking at President Obama’s policies and asking – ‘where are the jobs?’ To help our economy get back on track, we have to stop all of the coming tax hikes and cut spending – and to cut spending, we need to change Congress itself.

“This is a new way forward that hasn’t been tried in Washington yet. It’s a break from the direction in which President Obama has taken our country. And frankly, it’s also a break from the direction in which Republicans were headed when Americans last entrusted us with the reins of government. The American people are in charge, and they deserve nothing less.

“Together, we can do these things. And in doing so, we can begin the drive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government that honors our Constitution and respects the will of the people.

“These ideas are at the core of our Pledge to America.

“We’ve tried it President Obama’s way. We’ve tried it Washington’s way. It hasn’t worked. It’s time to put the people back in charge.

“Thank you for your time and may God bless the United States of America."

Press Secretary Gibbs on Potential Suspicious Packages

Posted by Jesse Lee on October 29, 2010 at 01:32 PM EDT

A statement from White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs issued moments ago:

Last night, intelligence and law enforcement agencies discovered potential suspicious packages on two planes in transit to the United States. Based on close cooperation among U.S. government agencies and with our foreign allies and partners, authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in East Midlands, United Kingdom and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen. As a result of security precautions triggered by this threat, the additional measures were taken regarding the flights at Newark Liberty and Philadelphia International Airports.

The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 10:35, by John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism. The President directed U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security, to take steps to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and to determine whether these threats are a part of any additional terrorist plotting. The President has received regular updates from his national security team since he was alerted to the threat.

David Schweikert, Harry Mitchell Lie Buster

Rep. Harry Mitchell tells the public that every bill he has introduced has had a Republican cosponsor (Scottsdale, AZ) Congressman Harry Mitchell continues to tell the public that "I haven't introduced a bill in Congress without a Republican co-sponsor."

This would be nice, if it were true.

Three bills had no Republican co-sponsor or no co-sponsor at all: HR 5474, 2/19/2008; HR 5651, 3/14/2008; and HR 4977, 3/25/2010.

In their endorsement of David Schweikert two weeks ago, the Arizona Republic said, “it’s time for a change.” Mitchell voted ‘yes’ for bailouts, ObamaCare, and the failed stimulus. He even sponsored card check. “That puts him at odds with the district.”

“Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District deserves a U.S. Representative that represents us with independence and balance. They also deserve someone who will tirelessly work on their behalf and will never mislead them,” said Schweikert campaign manager Oliver Schwab. “David Schweikert is someone who both understands the mechanics of how to get things done and also has the courage and conviction to take on difficult challenges.”

Charles K. Djou endorsed by local small businesses VIDEO

Honolulu, HI - Congressman Charles K. Djou was joined by local small business owners today to discuss the importance of changing the direction of the current Congress.

Congressman Djou issued the following statement:

"I visit a local business nearly every day and hear a common refrain: businesses, especially small businesses, need certainty that the new year will not bring with it more taxes and regulations that will stifle local job creation.

"I am honored to have been endorsed by organizations such as the National Federation of Independent Businesses and Trust in Small Business. But far more important is the support I have received from local small businesses - because they know I will fight for fiscal responsibility and tax relief that will stimulate economic growth and create jobs."

Congressman Djou was joined by local small business owners today who have endorsed his campaign, including Jack Schneider of JS Services, Debi Halcro of Valenti Print Group, Ted English of The UPS Store, Don Dawson of the Dawson Group, Eliza Talbot of NFIB Hawaii, Harvey King of King and Neel and Marsha Anderson of Surf Prep. These entrepreneurs described their concerns of runaway federal spending and uncertainty surrounding the tax code and regulatory structure.

Anna Little Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?

(HIGHLANDS, October 28) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign's focus on Frank Pallone's recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District as "PalloneCare."

"Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill,'" said Little. "But now that the public has learned more about what's in it, and it's not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he's gone radio silent - why, his campaign web site's 'On the Issues' section doesn't even MENTION health care!"

"Sadly, this is not surprising," said Little. "All we've heard from Frank Pallone is distortions of my views, rather than an explanation for the votes he cast for a failed trillion-dollar stimulus package, a failed cap and trade policy that would raise everyone's electricity bills, and the government takeover of health care.

"Of course, it's perfectly understandable - if I had cast a vote to cut Medicare by $500 billion, reduce patient choice, put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients, and raise taxes, I probably wouldn't want to draw attention to it, either.

"But that's the big difference between Frank Pallone and me - I would never have cast that vote in the first place!

"In five days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.

"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

NRSC Launches New Colorado TV Ad, “Challenges” Monday, October 25, 2010 @ 01:10 PM

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced a new independent expenditure television advertisement in Colorado today, entitled “Challenges,” highlighting Governor Ritter’s appointed U.S. Senator Michael Bennet’s (D-CO) record of rubberstamping President Obama’s reckless spending agenda in Washington.

NRSC Press Secretary Amber Marchand issued the following statement today:

“While our nation suffers from an economic crisis and burdensome unemployment, Coloradans can’t afford appointed Senator Michael Bennet, who has helped his party ram through reckless spending, out-of-control debt, and job-killing tax hikes in Washington. Voters in Colorado deserve a U.S. Senator who will fight for their best interests – not another rubberstamp for President Obama’s costly partisan agenda, which has failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $13.6 trillion.”
