Texas Tea Parties – TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY?

Yes, Bryan has suggested that the current incumbent Henry Cuellar (D-28) could use some “help” this November, and Obama would be just the one to come down and “help”. Now that would cinch the loss for Cuellar and be interesting to boot.

Here’s Bryan talking about the upcoming challenges in a radio interview.

“Bryan is running on on a platform to repeal and replace Obamacare, defeat the job-killing Cap and Tax plan, reduce taxes, cut spending, make regulations smarter, and support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Hat tip to Ms. Turner from the North TX Mid Cities Power to the People – her post details all 70 of the Socialists in the US House, and I’ve excepted then ones from Texas:

These two individuals are up for re election in November. They are members of the House of Representatives from Texas.

Hon. Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30) representing South Dallas
Hon. Sheila Jackson-Lee (TX-18) representing parts of Houston

Both are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, the principal arm in the USA of Socialists International. Yes, that’s the group whose origins go back to formation by and first head by Marx and Lenin.

We’re not talking about the Marx Brothers here, but Karl Marx, the commie. This organization’s creed includes:

Dignified Work
Environmental Justice
Economic Redistribution
Democratic Participation
Community Empowerment
Global Non-Violence
Social Justice.

How well has all that turned out in other countries?

A note from Quico Canseco this morning asks a simple but penetrating question:

“If Obamacare will not raise our taxes, why is the Administration defending the case against Obamacare by twelve states by …… claiming it is a tax???

Excerpt follows:

Throughout the debate over ObamaCare, the Obama administration and members of Congress like Ciro Rodriguez claimed that when the GOVERNMENT MANDATED individual health care coverage for you and your family, that it would not be “a tax”. Now the Administration is being sued for overstepping their Constitutional boundaries by forcing you and your family to use your money to make a purchase.

“In court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement [individual mandate] as an exercise of the government’s ‘power to lay and collect taxes’,” said Robert Pear of the New York Times on July 16th, 2010…..

This is unacceptable.

The Democratic incumbent, Ciro Rodriguez, claims that Obamacare is a good thing because “the CBO says that over the next 8 years, health care will cost us 4.1 trillion dollars”. Ciro was called out and corrected by people in the audience that knew the facts from memory, he threw a little temper tantrum.

And that’s unacceptable, too.

From an email from Francisco Rodriguez R candidate TX-D23:

No one said it better than the current democrat House Budget Chairman John Spratt when in 2006 he stated “If you can’t budget, you can’t govern.”

Ciro Rodriguez and the democrats in Washington have decided that instead of passing a budget that set priorities, starts reducing our federal debt, and focuses on putting your money back in your family’s hands and that of small businesses they are going to continue to throw billions of dollars at wasteful efforts that line the pockets of their special interests. From the failed trillion dollar “stimulus”, that did nothing to improve the economy or promote private sector job growth, to the endless billions spent on bailouts and benefits for Wall Street CEO’s, this Congress has exhibited a reckless disregard on spending, debt, and our children’s future.

Here in Texas at your family’s kitchen table and in the offices of the small businesses that are the driving force of our economy, we have budgets to manage and plan our spending. …Join our team today so that we can change Congress, throw out Nancy Pelosi and send 40 new members to congress.

An email from Bryan says:

Are you for protecting the right to free speech?

Sadly our incumbent Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar is not.

On Thursday Mr. Cuellar voted for the DISCLOSE Act to give speech privileges to labor unions and select interest groups but take them away from other groups such as National Right to Life and 60-Plus, an advocacy group for seniors.

Help fight against Speaker Pelosi and her pawn Mr. Cuellar. Visit www.Bryan-Underwood.com and support the campaign today!

This morning Bill Flores sent an email that notes the following issue with his opponent Chet Edwards. Bill is running for District 17 of Texas.

Congressman Chet Edwards (D-TX) provided one of three deciding votes that allowed legislation to pass which protected Democrats from having to vote for an actual budget. As a member of the House Budget Committee, this is one of his most important responsibilities as a Congressman.

For the first time since 1974 Congress will not be passing an annual budget, missing an opportunity to provide spending discipline, cut the deficit, and rein-in out of control government spending. Instead, on July 1, with the help of Chet Edwards, Congress passed legislation which does not responsibly set spending limits and account for deficit projections.

Chet Edwards has abdicated his responsibilities, rather than show leadership and pass a responsible budget that begins to control deficit spending.

You don’t have to live in district 17 to help Bill Flores defeat Chet Edwards, because we all would benefit from this upstart. Not just the people in D-17.

Here is what Chet Edwards stated about Barack Obama:

• “He’s got the kind of solid judgment that our voters and our citizens want in a Commander in Chief. I think he would do an excellent job.” – 3/3/08 Chet Edwards on MSNBC’s Hardball (0:43 mark)
  
• “He has the experience and the solid judgment to be a great leader for our country.” – 3/3/08 Chet Edwards on MSNBC’s Hardball (1:03 mark)
  
• “I personally believe that Senator Obama is going to do very well in Texas, because his message of real change, not change for change’s sake, but change that will impact in a positive way the daily lives of average working families, that message is resonating.” – 3/3/08 Chet Edwards on MSNBC’s Hardball (1:31 mark)
  
• “He is the best voice for change in our country.” – 2/24/08 Chet Edwards in post-debate spin room (1:31 mark)
