ANOTHER FAILED OBAMACARE PROMISE FROM SHERROD BROWN Two years after liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown voted for ObamaCare, which he promised would reduce healthcare premiums for millions of people, today a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reveals that the price of healthcare continues to increase. Since the healthcare bill has been signed into law, costs have risen by 9 percent and the average premium has risen by $1,300. They could rise as much as $2,500 according to today’s CBO report. As the CBO reports: The additional enrollees [i.e., those previously projected to enroll in Medicaid, but who will now receive Exchange subsidies in light of the Court’s ruling] are likely to spend more on health care, on average, than those previously expected to purchase insurance through the exchanges because people with lower income generally have somewhat poorer health. As a result, CBO and JCT now estimate that…
Despite Bill Nelson’s Promise, The Cost Of Healthcare Continues To Rise In Florida
ANOTHER FAILED OBAMACARE PROMISE FROM BILL NELSON Two years after liberal Democrat Bill Nelson voted for ObamaCare, which he promised would reduce healthcare costs for millions of people, today a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reveals that the price of healthcare continues to increase.

MoveOn.Org Endorses Madison Liberal Tammy Baldwin
Liberal Fringe Group Attacked CIA Director General David H. Petraeus Baldwin silent on endorsement Madison liberal Tammy Baldwin, who ranks as one of the most far-left members of Congress, has been endorsed by the fringe group MoveOn.Org. MoveOn.Org has been responsible for some of the most despicable political smears ever. Most notably, they ran a full-page ad in the New York Times attacking four-star General David H. Petraeus as “General Betray Us,” an ad that Baldwin supported. As the Huffington Post reports: Progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org came out with more Senate candidate endorsements on Thursday, throwing its large grassroots backing behind Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Reps. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). (Erin Mershon, MoveOn.org Endorses Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, Mazie Hirono For Senate, Huffington Post, 7/19/12) Curiously, a review of Tammy Baldwin’s web site shows she’s not touting her latest endorsement. “This endorsement says more about Tammy…
MoveOn.Org Endorses Sherrod Brown, America’s Most Liberal Senator
Liberal Fringe Group Attacked CIA Director General David H. Petraeus After being tied with Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid and others as the most liberal Senator in America, yesterday MoveOn.Org endorsed Sherrod Brown. Curiously, while the ever-voluble Brown campaign press shop is normally all too happy to trumpet their endorsements, it appears they have been silent on this one. Perhaps that’s because MoveOn.Org has been responsible for some of the most despicable political smears ever. Most notably, they ran a full-page ad in the New York Times attacking four-star General David H. Petraeus as “General Betray Us,” an ad that Sherrod Brown supported. As the Huffington Post reports: Progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org came out with more Senate candidate endorsements on Thursday, throwing its large grassroots backing behind Sen.

ABQ Station Blasts Martin Heinrich’s Extreme Environmental Allies For Their Destructive Ad
Reports That The Sierra Club’s Ad Is A “Wild Hyper-Exaggeration” On Heather Wilson After being the top recipient of radical environmental money in the House of Representatives, Martin Heinrich’s far-left green allies are up with a nasty attack ad that has an Albuquerque station calling the ad a “wild hyper-exaggeration” on Heather Wilson. Given that Heinrich opposed the Keystone XL pipeline, voted for Nancy Pelosi’s job-killing cap-and-trade bill and has supported the EPA’s job-killing regulations on affordable energy, it’s really no surprise these extreme environmental groups are supporting Mr. Heinrich. Yet what’s appalling is their outlandish claim that Heather Wilson poisoned the drinking water for children in New Mexico. As KOB-TV in Albuquerque reports: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO “While nobody has fought harder to advance the anti-energy, job-killing agenda of environmental groups than Congressman Heinrich, it’s truly incomprehensible that these groups think Mr. Heinrich’s opponent poisoned the drinking…
Another Taxpayer Funded Obama-Berkley Solar Plant Shuts Down
Berkley’s Stimulus Wasted Over $6 Million On This Solar Boondoggle American taxpayers are seeing $20 million more of their money washed down the tube via the Obama-Berkley stimulus plan, as an Amonix solar energy plant in North Las Vegas – which has received stimulus dollars – closed their doors after being open for just 14 months. Thanks to President Obama, Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid and embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Amonix received $6 million in federal tax credits and was also the recipient of a $15.6 million grant from the Department of Energy. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports: The Amonix solar manufacturing plant in North Las Vegas, heavily financed under an Obama administration energy initiative, has closed its 214,000-square-foot facility 14 months after it opened. … A designer and manufacturer of concentrated photovoltaic solar power systems, Amonix received $6 million in federal tax credits and a $15.6 million grant…
On Taxes, Martin Heinrich Is More Liberal Than President Barack Obama
FACT CHECK Heinrich Falsely Claims That He’s Fighting For Lower Taxes Liberal Congressman Martin Heinrich today released a false ad claiming that he’s fighting for lower taxes; yet in Washington Heinrich is actually more liberal than President Obama on the issue of taxes, particularly on small businesses, having led the charge to raise them at every possible opportunity. Heinrich joined the President in supporting his $1.76 trillion healthcare bill – which through the individual mandate was one of the largest tax increases ever on the middle class – raised taxes on small businesses by $500 billion and slapped medical device manufacturers with an additional 2.3 percent innovation tax. Heinrich then outdid the President on taxes when he voted against the 2010 tax cut compromise which, had Heinrich and his far-left allies prevailed, would have raised taxes on every single worker and small business in New Mexico. “Martin Heinrich has spent…
Does Tim Kaine Still Believe “Everything Has To Be On The Table” As Massive Defense Cuts Loom Over Virginia?
As DNC Chairman Kaine Backed Obama’s Proposed Defense Cuts In Hampton Roads As President Obama campaigns in Virginia today, where he will be joined on the trail by his former hand-picked DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is asking Kaine whether he will continue to stand with the Obama Administration as massive defense cuts loom over Virginia just as he has done in the past. “As President Obama and Chairman Kaine travel to Norfolk today, at the same time massive defense cuts loom over Virginia’s military bases, it reminds Virginians that Kaine has a record of putting his loyalty to President Obama ahead of Virginia jobs,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh said today. “Given the fact that neither President Obama nor Senate Democrats have yet to put forward a plan on these proposed cuts, Virginians are rightfully left to wonder if Kaine still believes…
Floridians Disapprove Of Bill Nelson’s Medicare-Raiding Healthcare Law
New Poll Shows 52 Percent Of Floridians Oppose ObamaCare Two years ago, liberal U.S. Senator Bill Nelson made President Barack Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare proposal the law of the land and now a new poll reveals that a majority of Floridians oppose this job-killing law. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports that ObamaCare will cut $500 billion from Medicare, raise taxes by over $500 billion and force every American to purchase health insurance. A new poll reveals that 52 percent of Floridians oppose the healthcare overhaul and most voters believe the law will make the healthcare system worse. As the Tampa Bay Times reports: “Only 43 percent of voters statewide support the Affordable Care Act and 52 percent oppose it, with 5 percent undecided. … 50 percent want to see Republicans follow through on their vow to repeal the law, with 43 percent saying it should remain.

Once Again Liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown Puts His Party Before Ohio
Brown Let His Party Boss Block His Research & Development Credit Amendment Liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown once bragged that he could stand up to his party, yet yesterday he buckled when he allowed Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid to block his amendment that would help Ohio’s ailing economy. Rather than voting to keep the debate open on the Small Business Jobs & Tax Relief Act (S. 2237), Brown caved to the political pressure of his Democrat party boss and voted to end debate, which robbed small business owners of a tax deduction for researching new products. Remarkably, Brown once said, “when his party is right, I vote with it; when it’s wrong, I vote against it.” As the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: “‘When my party is right, I vote with it; when it’s wrong, I vote against it,’ said [Sherrod] Brown.” ( Sabrina Eaton, “Ohioans Delight In ‘Contract’ Euphoria,” Plain…
