When President Obama made the declaration last week that his stance on same-sex marriage had “evolved” into supporting it, the New York Times called me up to see what the conservative movement thought about Obama’s evolution. I said to the reporter, “Just when you thought the conservative movement couldn’t be any more energized against President […]
Today, on behalf of over 500,000 members and supporters of Citizens United, I urged all members of the Senate to oppose the American Jobs Act of 2011, aka Obama’s “jobs” bill. Our country is desperate for bold leadership and big ideas that will change the failing status quo, this bill fails on both counts and […]

In early September, President Obama finally unveiled his jobs plan: a new $447 “stimulus” package. The President exhorted Congress to “Pass this bill!” but Americans aren’t ready for another round of “stimulus” – we’re still trying to recover from the consequences of the last one, which cost nearly twice as much. In 2009, President Obama […]
If a $787 billion stimulus didn’t work in 2009, why would a $447 billion stimulus work in 2011? Mr. Obama’s dwindling numbers of supporters are giddy that he delivered yet another rousing speech last week, but everyone else is wondering how this stimulus will bring unemployment down and how it will be “paid for.” We’ve […]
With the unemployment rate rising once again to 9.2 percent, only 18,000 jobs created in the month of June, and 400,000 workers losing their jobs for the thirteenth straight week, the question must be asked of the President, “Where are the jobs you promised back in January 2009?” Back then, the Obama Administration predicted that […]
For the thirteenth straight week over 400,000 Americans lost their jobs. The failed economic policies of the Obama Administration have led America down a path where losing over 400,000 jobs a week has become the new normal. President Obama has not led on the economy and refuses to produce a new plan that will create […]
In March, Citizens United released a report entitled “Where Did All That Stimulus Money Actually Go?” The report concluded that the staggering amounts of taxpayer funds spent in each Congressional District garnered so few positive results that it was a disgrace. Just today, it has been reported that more than $24 billion in stimulus money […]
More than two years after the fact, President Obama’s partisan $800 billion “stimulus” bill is still as controversial as it was when it was first signed into law in February 2009. There is little evidence to support that the Obama stimulus plan was anything but a lesson in how to waste almost a trillion dollars […]

This week Amtrak renamed its Wilmington, Delaware train station after Vice President Joe Biden. The newly renovated station received $20 million in stimulus funds and was one of the first projects to receive taxpayer money, at Biden’s urging. As you may recall, after the stimulus passed in 2009, President Obama laughably dubbed Biden “Sheriff Joe” […]
Despite promises of reform from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue over the last two years, the $825 billion stimulus package written without even a fig leaf of bipartisanship contains astronomical sums of pork barrel spending that will do nothing to create jobs for unemployed Americans. A glance at some of the more egregious provisions of […]
