After Lobbying From White House, Stabenow Gives Obama Key Vote To Help Kill Keystone Pipeline Construction Further burnishing her record as one of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate, and one of President Obama’s most loyal supporters, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow today helped the President continue to block construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline which even top labor unions say would create thousands of new American jobs. “If there was ever an example of Senator Stabenow’s willingness to put her loyalty to President Obama, and his failed energy agenda, ahead of what’s best for Michigan and American jobs, it was this vote,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh said today. “The Keystone pipeline would not only create thousands of new jobs, but it would help reduce our country’s dependence on Middle East oil. Unfortunately, given the choice between President Obama and jobs, Debbie Stabenow again stood…

NRSC: Silence From National Democrats In Maine Senate Race Suggests They’ve Already Cast Their Lot With King
In the wake of Independent former Governor Angus King’s announcement yesterday that he intends to run for the U.S. Senate seat in Maine, Politico reports today that King’s decision has had a “chilling effect” on the potential bid of liberal Democratic Congresswoman Chellie Pingree. But as the NRSC observed yesterday, it’s the silence from national Democrats which speaks volumes. “It’s a remarkable development that the same Democratic party strategists in Washington who proudly recruited such liberal stalwarts as Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin, are effectively shoving Chellie Pingree aside in favor of an Independent candidate who supported George W. Bush in 2000,” NRSC Executive Director Rob Jesmer said today. “The silence by national Democrats in this race, and the fact that there doesn’t appear to be any organized effort to collect signatures for a Pingree Senate candidacy, makes clear that some type of backroom deal appears to have already taken…
Sherrod Brown’s Job-Killing EPA Regulations Will Eliminate 1,000 Ohio Jobs
GenOn Energy Will Close Their Plant In Avon Lake & Niles Due To Burdensome Regulations Yesterday, GenOn Energy announced that due to the Obama Administration’s job-killing regulations – that liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown supports – they will soon be closing their energy plant in Niles and Avon Lake. This will kill nearly 1,000 Ohio jobs and it will also increase energy rates for hard-working families in the Buckeye State. As CBS News reports: “[GenOn Energy], said Wednesday that tough new environmental rules make it unprofitable to operate the plants, which generate a total of 3,140 megawatts of electricity. … Two plants in Ohio and one in New Jersey will also be closed. The company said the timeframes are subject to further review based on market conditions.”(5 Pa. coal-fired power plants to close, CBS News, 03/01/12) Notably, the National Economic Research Associates recently released a study that found unelected bureaucrats…
Kaine’s Support For ObamaCare Ignited Barack Obama’s War On Personal Freedom
ObamaCare Gave The Federal Government The Power To Decide What’s Best For Virginians Nearly two years ago, as head of the Democratic National Committee Tim Kaine played an active role in supporting Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare bill which gave the federal government the power to decide what type of healthcare services that employers, including religious institutions in Virginia, had to pay for, even if it violated their own personal moral beliefs. This intrusive healthcare law is a clear violation of religious freedom as it forces religious institutions and individuals to choose between violating the law and violating their faith, which Kaine continues to support. His position is completely out of step with most Virginians – even going so far as to say he believes health care reform would go down in history as one of the great achievements of President Obama: “Time and again when it comes to issues of…
National Democrats Succeed In Pushing Pingree Aside
8 Days Until Filing Deadline & National Party Mounts No Effort To Field A Viable Democratic Candidate, Further Suggesting Backroom Deal With King One day after top Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would not deny that he’s had recent private conversations with former Maine Governor Angus King, a prominent liberal blogger for the Washington Post reports this morning that Congresswoman Chellie Pingree — “a favorite of national liberals and progressives — has decided not to run for the seat of retiring Olympia Snowe.” Responding to this unsurprising news, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Rob Jesmer reiterated the view today that the fix has been in for national Democrats to privately anoint Independent candidate Angus King as their standard-bearer. “The decision by national Democrats to throw Chellie Pingree and other proud Democratic leaders in Maine aside, in favor of an ‘independent’ who supported President Bush in 2000, makes clear they…
Donnelly’s Vote For ObamaCare Ignited Barack Obama’s War On Personal Freedom
ObamaCare Gave The Federal Government The Power To Decide What’s Best For Hoosiers Nearly two years ago, Congressman Joe Donnelly supported Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare bill which gave the federal government the power to decide what type of healthcare services that employers, including religious institutions in Indiana, had to pay for, even if it violated their own personal moral beliefs. This intrusive healthcare law is a clear violation of religious freedom as it forces religious institutions and individuals to choose between violating the law and violating their faith, which Donnelly continues to support. His position is completely out of step with the people of Indiana. “Congressman Joe Donnelly was instrumental in passing ObamaCare, which not only forces every Hoosier to buy health insurance, but also intrudes into their personal freedoms,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Lance Trover. “When Donnelly had a choice to stand with the people of…

This intrusive healthcare law is a clear violation of religious freedom as it forces religious institutions and individuals to choose between violating the law and violating their faith, which Stabenow continues to support. Her position is completely out of step with most Michiganders. “Time and again when it comes to issues of more government intrusion into our everyday lives – be it the stimulus, ObamaCare, or cap-and-trade – Senator Stabenow chooses President Obama’s side,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Lance Trover. “Senator Stabenow’s push for more government mandates…

This intrusive healthcare law is a clear violation of religious freedom as it forces religious institutions and individuals to choose between violating the law and violating their faith, which McCaskill continues to support. Her position is completely out of step with the Catholic Conference of Missouri, the Archbishop of St. Louis, and most Missourians. “Time and again when it comes to issues of more government intrusion into our everyday lives – be it the stimulus, ObamaCare, or cap-and-trade – Senator McCaskill chooses President Obama’s side,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee…
Bill Nelson’s Vote For ObamaCare Ignited Barack Obama’s War On Personal Freedom
ObamaCare Gave The Federal Government The Power To Decide What’s Best For Floridians Over two years ago, liberal U.S. Senator Bill Nelson supported Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare bill, which gave the federal government the power to decide what type of healthcare services that employers, including religious institutions in Florida, had to pay for, even if it violated their own personal moral beliefs. This intrusive healthcare law is a clear violation of religious freedom as it forces religious institutions and individuals to choose between violating the law and violating their faith. “Liberal U.S. Senator Bill Nelson cast one of the deciding votes for Barack Obama’s healthcare bill, which not only forces every Floridian to buy health insurance, but also mandates that they violate their personal religious beliefs,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “This is just another example of how Obama’s job-killing healthcare law gives the federal government…
