Blog: Democrat Majority Adds Piggy-Back To Troop Funding

Statement

Date: July 5, 2010
Issues: Defense

AP reports "The Democrat majority is treating this troop funding bill like a cash-cow for their election-year wish-list" said Rep. Jerry Lews, R-Calif. Top Democrats such as Obey and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., insist on adding the domestic dollars, viewing the war funding bill as their last, best shot to resuscitate their faltering jobs agenda.

Democrats with super-majorities can't pass their big government/big debt programs, so they piggy-back their pork on the backs of our military while we are at war. This is unconscionable! It's exactly what is wrong with Washington!

A minority of Democrats given power through their majority positions are forcing their unpopular agendas that would never be approved by sneaking them into legitimate bills. They rule through deceit and guile instead of leading the American people with sound arguments and popular support. This is NOT America! And on this day after we celebrated our Declaration of Independence, we must once again declare we will not be ruled by unaccountable tyrants that govern at their whim. We must take back this country from those like Nancy Pelosi and George Miller who only serve their special interests. The good news is WE CAN this November. Our WIN in District 7 will replace Miller with a leader who will lead us in the right direction. Vote Rick Tubbs!
