Astounding!
Dear Friend,
It is the 6 month mark of Republican control in the House of Representatives, and their track record is astounding:
- Tax breaks for big oil and millionaires and billionaires
- Affordable health care insurance for themselves and their families, but a vote to repeal health insurance reform for hard-working Americans
- A plan to end Medicare for future retirees
- Cuts to education spending
- Attacks on women’s right to choose and access to family planning.
Within Reach
Dear Friend,
As you might have heard, Democrat Kathy Hochul is within reach of a special election victory in upstate New York over Republican Jane Corwin.
This is especially encouraging news, as the seat has been a Republican stronghold for years and was considered a shoo-in for the Republican nominee. But Hochul’s campaign is rapidly gaining momentum, as recent polls have her in a dead heat with Corwin after voters discovered the Republican's radical stance on key issues.
Speechless!
Dear Friend,
I’m at a loss for words. One hundred days and counting in the majority and the House GOP STILL has not put forward a single jobs bill. Not one vote, not one bill!
After campaigning on a pledge to create more jobs, we finally see that the GOP's priority is anything but job creation. That is why yesterday, I was speechless – literally.
April Fools Day?!?
Dear Friend,
Last November, the GOP campaigned on a promise of jobs and economic growth. So far this congress, they have ignored these promises and have instead pandered to the most extreme elements of their party.
Since taking control of the House in January, they have attacked a woman’s right to choose, proposed increasing taxes on the middle class and shown their true colors on health care by trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act for average Americans, but taking government-subsidized health care for themselves. Like many of you, I am hoping this is one big April Fools’ Day joke.
When it comes to free throws, Crowley is the guy to beat
