Americans were sold a false prophet in 2008, and with the Obama recession they will turn their backs on President Obama in 2012. With 9.2 percent unemployment, and a crushing $14.3 trillion debt – with more spending on the way – America is off course due to the failed liberal policies of the Obama administration. […]
As a reminder of the American people’s long standing wishes, Citizens United plans to send 15,000 signed petitions from our members to the newly formed debt “Super Committee” urging them to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. With 9.2 percent unemployment, Americans cannot afford to have their taxes increased or to give more money to […]
The super committee is a total political ploy. “Super committees” and “blue ribbon commissions” are Washington-speak for “just kick the can down the road to the next generation.” Its mandate to cut an additional $1.5 trillion in debt is laughable when we are staring at a staggering $14.3 trillion debt that continues to grow. It […]
With a “compromise” on the debt standoff possibly happening early this week, it is useful to look back to see how we got here in the first place. The current debt crisis did not happen overnight; its roots can be traced back to when the housing market bubble burst back in 2007. The reckless lending […]
Today, on behalf of over 500,000 members and supporters of Citizens United, I urged all members of Congress to vote against the Budget Control Act of 2011. All votes on this issue will be considered for Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional Ratings. Please see all previous Ratings letters here. Full letter below: Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional […]
The leadership on both sides of the aisle has failed the American people. Today’s plan is an easy way out that could have been hammered out months ago. The “compromise” that has tentatively been reached does not solve the real problem: spending. Read more at Politico here.
In more stunning news that the Obama economy has tanked, the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at an anemic 1.3 percent for the second quarter of the year. In addition, the 1st quarter GDP was revised downward to a paltry 0.4 percent economic growth. These horrible numbers are more evidence that the failed policies […]
The Senate has not produced a budget in over 800 days. Led by Harry Reid, let’s hope the future of the country does not reside with the very group of people who got us into this mess in the first place. It’s like asking Fannie and Freddie to help us out of this. Read more […]
John McCain’s screed on the Senate floor yesterday attacking House Republicans for standing against Speaker Boehner’s debt plan was embarrassing for a Senator whose best days are behind him. Those House freshmen he attacked are doing something John McCain knows little about anymore – fighting for principle. Fighting for principle is something that John McCain […]
Obama needs to watch his base. Not because he can’t win the nomination, but because if they aren’t highly motivated on Election Day 2012, he has little chance of winning re-election. He is beholden to liberal special interest groups, left-wing ideologues, and the union leadership. They may not be able to stop his re-nomination, but […]
Before Sarah Palin, Steve Bannon made a movie about Michele Bachmann. Could it push her over the top in Iowa? One could make a fairly convincing case that Steve Bannon, the filmmaker who brought us the Sarah Palin bio pic “The Undefeated,” has gotten at least as much attention these last few months as Palin […]
