It’s Been 1,000 Days Since Nelson & His Democrat Colleagues Have Passed A Budget It’s been 1,000 days since liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson and his Democrat colleagues who control the Senate have passed a budget and today the National Republican Senatorial Committee has unveiled a new web video reminding Floridians that Nelson has failed to perform the most basic function of a U.S. Senator. Additionally, the web ad highlights the fact that during his U.S. Senate campaign in 2006, Nelson campaigned against the reckless spending in Washington and expressed a strong commitment to restoring fiscal discipline to our country, which he has failed to uphold. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE NRSC’S LATEST WEB VIDEO Notably, it only took 410 days to build the Empire State Building, yet Nelson still needs more time to pass a budget that will rein in his reckless spending habits that are bankrupting our…

Obama Set To Bring His Campaign To Disney World, While Bill Nelson Ducks
Back In Washington Nelson Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda Today, President Barack Obama will return to Florida where he is scheduled to visit the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. One notable person missing from this magical trip is U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. Nelson’s absence stems from the fact that he’s supported President Obama’s failed agenda over 97 percent of time – including his failed $825 billion stimulus and $2.5 trillion government-run healthcare bill – which has suddenly imperiled his re-elect. In a desperate attempt to revive his sagging poll numbers, Nelson has suddenly become increasingly critical of the President, blaming him “for creating a toxic political environment for Democrats nationwide.” “President Obama and Senator Nelson’s big government policies haven’t been that magical for Floridians because not only did their $825 billion stimulus fail to ‘create or save’ 206,000 jobs, but their government-run healthcare law raided…
WAIVER DENIED: Obama Administration Denies Florida’s Waiver From Bill Nelson’s $2.5 Trillion Healthcare Law
Legislation Will Cost Floridians Nearly $13 Billion In Additional Medicaid Expenses Two years ago, after admitting to Floridians that ObamaCare would slash $500 billion from Medicare, liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson provided President Barack Obama with the 60th and final vote for his job-killing healthcare bill, which saddled the Sunshine State with nearly $13 billion in additional Medicaid expenses. Faced with the possibility of insurers leaving the state, the Sunshine State applied for a waiver from fully implementing the ominous $2.5 trillion law. Unfortunately, the un-elected bureaucrats at Health and Human Services (HHS) rejected their request. As The Hill reports: “The Obama administration on Thursday rejected Florida’s request for a waiver from Democrats’ healthcare law. Florida is the fifth state whose insurers have been denied an exemption from the medical loss ratio provision that requires them to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care or…
Bill Nelson Tries To Cover Up His Partisan Record By Supporting The “No Labels” Movement
HYPOCRISY ALERT Nelson Has Voted With President Obama Over 97 Percent Of The Time Yesterday, in an attempt to mislead Floridians from his lockstep support of President Obama’s failed agenda, liberal United States Senator Bill Nelson announced he was supporting the “no-labels” movement. Given that Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda – which includes the failed $825 billion stimulus and government-run healthcare – over 97 percent of this time, it’s clear Nelson is trying to cover up his long, liberal record in Congress. “Bill Nelson has supported Barack Obama’s job-killing agenda over 97 percent of the time and this latest move by Nelson is a political stunt aimed at distracting Floridians from his fiercely partisan record,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.

Bill Nelson & The Senate Democrats Double-Down On Their Massive Tax Hike On Florida Job Creators
Last Thursday, a bipartisan group of Senators rejected Bill Nelson’s payroll tax relief extension, because this temporary tax cut slapped a permanent tax hike on small business owners across the Sunshine State. Unfortunately, Nelson remains stubbornly committed to raising taxes, because today he and his party offered a “revised” payroll tax cut extension, but again it hits Florida’s job creators with a massive tax increase. This all comes on the heels of a letter from virtually every major business organization – including the Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses – warning Nelson and his Senate Democrat colleagues that any tax increase would adversely impact job growth. As the Associated Press reports: “A Democratic aide also says the Democrats’ revamped payroll tax cut plan will contain a modified set of proposals to offset its cost to the Treasury. It will retain a tax on income exceeding $1…
Bill Nelson Voted For A Massive Tax Hike On Florida Job Creators
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 Bill Nelson (D-FL) once again voted in lockstep with President Obama last night in support of a permanent new tax on Florida job creators. “At a time when our country is still working to get our economy back on track, it speaks volumes about Bill Nelson’s misplaced priorities that he would vote for a permanent new tax hike on Florida’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, Bill Nelson would rather stand with President Obama, than stand up for Florida.” The Senate last night voted on two separate proposals, both with the common goal of extending the payroll tax cut by one more year…
Deficit Super Committee Dies Amid Bill Nelson’s Addiction To Higher Taxes & More Spending
Senate Democrats Sought $1.3 Trillion In New Tax Hikes & $300 Billion In New Stimulus Spending, Instead of Serious Spending Cut Proposals In response to this evening’s announcement by the deficit reduction Super Committee that they were unable to reach any bipartisan agreement, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) said the failure of leadership by Senate Democrats, and their addiction to higher taxes and more wasteful Washington spending, will be a defining issue in next year’s U.S. Senate campaign in Florida. “After years of reckless government spending, unemployment mired at 9 percent and a $15 trillion debt that grows daily, the negotiations of the last few weeks have been a remarkable commentary on the misplaced priorities of Bill Nelson and his fellow liberal Democrats. “Voters should rightfully wonder why Senator Nelson and his fellow Democrats didn’t show the same zeal for actually solving our nation’s problems as they did for…
NRSC Statement On Bill Nelson’s Latest Fiscal Legacy – A $15 Trillion Debt
Republicans Release New Video Highlighting Nelson’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Bill Nelson came to the U.S. Senate in January 2001, the federal debt stood at $5.7 trillion; a figure which took over 200 years for our country to reach. Yet, just ten years later, and particularly over the last three years, as Nelson has rubber-stamped every major spending initiative proposed by President Obama, the federal debt has now hit the once-unfathomable mark of $15 trillion – a 163 percent increase and more than $48,000 for every American man, woman and child. To mark the United States Treasury reaching the $15 trillion debt mark today and to highlight the massive spending by Senator Bill Nelson and President Obama that has led to this point, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new web video – “$15,000,000,000,000…Siriously” “As a candidate for the Senate in 2000 and 2006, Bill Nelson…
As Supreme Court Prepares To Weigh In, Floridians Reminded That Bill Nelson Voted To Keep ObamaCare
Top Court To Examine Obama-Nelson ‘Individual Mandate’ As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on President Barack Obama’s massive health care overhaul, Florida voters are reminded that U.S. Senator Bill Nelson voted earlier this year to keep the measure, known as ObamaCare, as the law of the land. The Associated Press reports: The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear arguments next March over President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul – a case that could shake the political landscape just as voters are about to decide if Obama deserves another term. The decision to hear arguments in the spring allows plenty of time for a decision in late June, just over four months before Election Day. This sets up an election-year showdown over the White House’s main domestic policy achievement. The justices announced they will hear more than five hours of arguments, an extraordinarily long session, from lawyers…
Once Again, Bill Nelson Stands Behind Obama Spending Agenda, Instead of Standing With Florida Job Creators
Votes For Yet Another Massive Stimulus Bill, Despite Opposition From Major Small Business Groups Even as virtually every major small business group expressed their concern that a new, permanent tax on America’s job creators would “significantly impair” job creation, Senator Bill Nelson once again voted in lockstep with President Obama today in support of yet another round of massive government stimulus spending. “Bill Nelson has never met one of President Obama’s big government spending bills that he didn’t like, and today’s vote is just another example of his reckless spending record,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “It also represents a defining difference in next year’s election – Bill Nelson believes it’s the federal government which creates jobs, through higher taxes and more debt, while Republicans believe government should get its foot off the backs of America’s small businesses so that they can create jobs and…
