What You May Have Missed Last Night…. Despite warnings from virtually every major business organization in the country that it would adversely impact job growth, U.S. Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) once again voted in lockstep with President Obama last night in support of a permanent new tax on Nebraska job creators. “At a time when our country is still working to get our economy back on track, it speaks volumes about Ben Nelson’s misplaced priorities that he would vote for a permanent new tax hike on Nebraska’s job creators,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh said today. “Just as with the $825 billion stimulus and the trillion dollar health care bill, Ben Nelson would rather stand with President Obama, than stand up for Nebraska.” The Senate last night voted on two separate proposals, both with the common goal of extending the payroll tax cut by one more year…

FEC Refuses To Legitimize Ben Nelson Campaign Ad Scheme
Democrat FEC Commissioner Calls Scheme A “Fully Coordinated Communication” In a 3-3 vote, the Federal Election Commission today refused to legitimize the campaign ad scheme being used by Senator Ben Nelson and national Democrats, and even one Democrat FEC Commissioner said it’s impossible to see this scheme as anything other than an effort to circumvent federal campaign finance limits. As the New York Times first reported last month: “A new series of political advertisements on behalf of an embattled Nebraska senator could open the door to a flood of similar ads financed by outside groups and even businesses working directly with political candidates — a sharp departure from past practice.” Today’s FEC’s vote came after the GOP group, American Crossroads, petitioned the Commission seeking permission to engage in the same activity as Senator Nelson and his Democrat friends in Washington. To date, national Democrats have spent at least $1.25 million…
Congresswoman Berkley Makes A Quick Buck From Nevadans Who Have Lost Their Home
Seven-Term Congresswoman Has Made Over $80,000 From Flipping Foreclosed Homes For over 50 months, Nevada has been the foreclosure capital of the country and now it’s been reported that for some of those Nevadans who were unable to stay in their homes, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s husband has been busy gobbling up those houses and flipping them for a profit. Berkley’s husband has already made over $80,000 from flipping two foreclosed homes and while the Congresswoman claims she is divorced from the transactions, her pocket book certainly isn’t separated from these sales. As Jon Ralston reports: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO Notably, it was just three months ago that the New York Times reported that Berkley’s cause is often her husband’s gain, because she used her position to help him secure a $738,000-a-year contract with University Medical Center and has pushed for legislation that would financially benefit his business….
Obama Set To Bring His Campaign To Casey’s Hometown, While Casey Ducks – Again
But Back In Washington Casey Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda As President Barack Obama returns to Pennsylvania, one person missing from his entourage is Scranton’s own Bob Casey who is one of Obama’s fiercest supporters. As we all remember when the President was campaigning for his first term Casey was one of the first people to endorse him – which the President thanked him for – and he also brought Obama to Glider Diner in Scranton to meet with Pennsylvanians. Then once Obama got elected Casey proceeded to vote with him 98 percent of the time, which includes rubberstamping his failed $825 billion stimulus – which never ‘created or saved’ 100,000 Pennsylvania jobs – and his job-killing $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill into law. “As President Obama travels to Senator Casey’s hometown, Pennsylvanians will always remember that whether it was his early endorsement in ’08, his…
Obama-Stabenow Healthcare Law Already Destroying Michigan Jobs
Tax Hikes Lead to Elimination Of Over 1,000 Jobs At Just One Kalamazoo Orthopedic Company Even as Michigan grapples with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country at 10.6 percent, it’s unfortunately about to get worse for Michigan workers and small businesses as a result of the massive health care bill rammed into law last year by Senate Democrats, including Michigan’s junior Senator Debbie Stabenow. Stryker, an orthopedic company from Kalamazoo, became the latest American company to announce layoffs because of the new tax hikes included in the Obama-Stabenow health care law. Given that the Wolverine State is home to over 1,600 medical device companies, this surely won’t be the last company that will be forced to reduce its workforce to pay for this job-killing tax. As the Kalamazoo Gazette reports: “Stryker Corp.’s plans to cut its worldwide workforce by 5 percent by the end of 2012 and…
BioOhio Reminds Ohioans That Brown’s Support For ObamaCare Will Soon Kill Medical Device Jobs In Ohio
Buckeye State Is Home To Over 1,900 Medical Device Companies Who Employ 22,000 Ohioans Earlier this month, Tony Dennis the CEO of BioOhio penned a column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer where he expressed his frustrations with President Obama and Senator Sherrod Brown for passing a $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill that is partially financed by a 2.3 percent tax increase on medical device companies, because it thwarts innovation and job growth. What’s remarkable is that Sherrod Brown told his party boss Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that the medical device tax in ObamaCare would kill jobs in Ohio, yet he still voted for it. POLITICO: “In a preview of a major fight to come, 10 Democratic senators [including Sherrod Brown] — a mix of liberals and moderates — are protesting an annual $4 billion tax on the medical device industry as a killer of jobs and research. They…
