ObamaCare Gave The Federal Government The Power To Decide What’s Best For Ohioans Over two years ago, liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown 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 Ohio, 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 Sherrod Brown cast one of the deciding votes for Barack Obama’s healthcare bill, which not only forces every Ohioan 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…
Baldwin’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 Wisconsinites Nearly two years ago, the most liberal member of the Wisconsin Congressional Delegation, Tammy Baldwin, 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 Wisconsin, 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 Baldwin continues to support. Her position is completely out of step with Wisconsin, as the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel recently detailed that according to 2008 exit polling, 33% of Wisconsin voters are Catholic. It should also not be lost on anyone that Congresswoman Baldwin actually lamented to group of Wisconsinites that she wished ObamaCare had…
Berkley’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 Nevadans Nearly two years ago, liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley supported Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare bill – written by none other than Harry Reid – which gave the federal government the power to decide what type of healthcare services that employers, including religious institutions in Nevada, 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 Congresswoman Shelley Berkley will literally say or do anything to hide the fact that she supported ObamaCare, which not only forces every Nevadan 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…
NRSC Statement On Bob Kerrey’s Flip-Flop Decision To Run For The U.S. Senate
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement in response to reports that Democrat Leader Harry Reid has finally twisted Bob Kerrey’s arm enough to get him to run for the open U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska. “After making a backroom deal to get Nebraska’s senior senator to vote for ObamaCare, it appears Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid has made a deal with an even more liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey. “As Nebraskans reacquaint themselves with Kerrey they will quickly recognize that living in Greenwich Village for so many years tends to change a person. Whether it’s his support for cap-and-trade, his advocacy for a government-run health care system or his desire to raise taxes on Nebraska small businesses, Bob Kerrey is a loyal supporter of the Obama agenda and he’s simply out-of-step with Nebraska.” BACKGROUND … A REVIEW OF LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BOB KERREY’S RECORD Bob…
Cornyn Statement On Olympia Snowe’s Retirement & Maine Senate Race
U.S. Senator John Cornyn, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), today made the following statement regarding U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe’s decision to not seek re-election. “Olympia Snowe has served her beloved state of Maine, and our country, with strong principles and great distinction for many years. As both a friend and a colleague, she will be missed, and I wish both her and her husband Jock all the best as they embark on the next chapter in careers dedicated to public service. “While I would never underestimate the fight ahead in defending any open Senate seat, Republicans remain well-positioned to win back a Senate majority in November. Maine has a proud history of electing independent leaders, including a Republican Governor in 2010, and while this will be a key battleground in the Fall, I am confident it will remain in Republican hands.”
What They Are Saying About Bob Kerrey’s Long Shot Bid For The U.S. Senate
With Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Chuck Hassebrook telling the Associated Press today that he’s “staying in the race, no matter who else enters it,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Communications Director Brian Walsh issued the following statement today regarding liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey’s possible candidacy for the U.S. Senate. “As Harry Reid and his liberal friends in Washington twist Bob Kerrey’s arm, it’s clear even Democrats in Nebraska are increasingly frustrated with this charade. Between Kerrey’s support for Barack Obama’s intrusive government-run healthcare law and his job-killing, cap-and-trade proposal, it’s no wonder that even Kerrey’s fellow Democrats don’t appear to have much confidence in his candidacy.” What Democrats Are Saying … DEMOCRAT CHUCK HASSEBROOK: ”Bob Kerrey is a man of integrity,” Hassebrook said in a statement Monday. “He told me as recently as a few days ago that he would assist my campaign. I gave up my seat on…
NRSC Memo: New York City Resident Bob Kerrey’s Impending Senate Candidacy
From The Desk of Rob Jesmer, Executive Director National Republican Senatorial Committee Earlier today, the Washington Post broke the news that three weeks after New York City resident Bob Kerrey told Nebraskans that he was putting his family first and staying in his beloved Greenwich Village home, he has had a sudden change of heart and has decided to run for the U.S. Senate. Given how important this seat is for the liberal Democrat Party’s chances to hold their Senate majority, one wonders what type of backroom deal-making might have taken place between Kerrey and Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid in recent days. Nebraskans remember full well the lengths Reid went to secure Ben Nelson’s vote for ObamaCare by authoring the infamous Cornhusker Kickback, so one can only imagine the conversations that took place with his power perch as Senate Majority Leader hanging in the balance. With Politico reporting that…
Senator Brown & HHS Secretary Sebelius Bring Their Job-Killing ObamaCare Tour To Columbus
Last Fall Nearly 60 Percent Of Franklin County Rejected Their Job-Killing Healthcare Law Today, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown will bring their ObamaCare tour to Columbus, where nearly 60 percent of Franklin County rejected their intrusive, job-killing healthcare law. Additionally, White Castle – whose headquarters are also based in Columbus – has recently stated that Brown’s healthcare law will eat up more than half of its income. Meanwhile in Lorain County, Invacare has stated that the medical device tax in ObamaCare could cause them to stop hiring new workers. “When liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown rubberstamped Barack Obama’s government-run healthcare bill into law it didn’t just cut $550 billion from Medicare, but it also hit Ohio’s medical device companies with a job-killing tax,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “With 469,000 unemployed Ohioans, it’s clear the Buckeye State…
Obama & Nelson Bring Their Campaign To Miami, While Floridians Continue To Suffer From Democrats’ Failed Energy Polices
Obama & Nelson Have Consistently Ignored Common Sense Energy Solutions With the average price of gasoline at $3.61 a gallon, President Barack Obama – who will be joined by his liberal ally U.S. Senator Bill Nelson – is coming to Miami where they will use the looming energy crisis to campaign for their failed energy policy agenda. Obama will undoubtedly call for energy independence but it will just be empty campaign rhetoric because while in Washington, he and Senator Nelson have been focused on job-killing energy initiatives like cap-and-trade, instead of common sense solutions that will increase our domestic supply of energy. Notably, under Barack Obama’s watch, Floridians are now paying an additional $30 to fill up their gas tanks. “Under the failed economic leadership of Barack Obama and Bill Nelson, Floridians have seen their gas prices rise by $1.78 a gallon in just the last three years,” said National…
Sherrod Brown Ties Barbara Boxer As One Of The Most Liberal Senators In America
If there was any remaining doubt that Sherrod Brown’s record is to the far left of most Ohioans, new rankings out today from National Journal should lay that to rest. For the past three decades, National Journal has rated members of Congress based on selected roll-call votes from the previous year to create an ideological scale for Congress. And once again, Sherrod Brown’s voting record has placed him among the most liberal members of the United States Senate, tying him in fact with far-left California Senator Barbara Boxer. Notably, PolitiFact Ohio recently reported that for the three years that Barack Obama has been in the White House, Brown has voted with him a whopping 95 percent of the time. “It once again speaks volumes of just how far out of step Sherrod Brown is with most Ohioans when he’s battling with San Francisco’s Barbara Boxer for…
