 Liberal Madison Congresswoman Supports Cap-And-Trade & Higher Taxes The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad – “Even” – which continues highlighting why liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin is too extreme for voters in Wisconsin.     CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO “Tammy Baldwin is too extreme for Wisconsin, because she supported a $3.9 trillion tax increase that not even Nancy Pelosi could support,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.  “Between her support for more spending, higher taxes and a bigger national debt, it’s clear Rep. Baldwin is far too liberal for the Badger State.”     BACKGROUND …   Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s $3.9 Trillion Tax Increase Progressive Budget Was Even Too Liberal For Nancy Pelosi Baldwin Voted For The Congressional Progressive Caucus Substitute Amendment To The Ryan Budget Called “The People’s Budget.” “Grijalva, D-Ariz., substitute amendment that would allow $3.986 trillion in new budget authority for…

Baldwin Voted Against Funding Our Troops And Against Projects For Our Veterans After being in Washington for 14 years where she’s voted against our troops, voted against projects for our veterans while voting to insult a four-star general, today liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin heads to Appleton where she’ll try and run from her appalling record. Baldwin has partnered with members of the radical Liberal Progressive Caucus where they worked to defund our troops while in combat.  While this was occurring, Baldwin was also supportive of a nasty smear by MoveOn.Org that called General David H. Petraeus, General Betray-Us. Baldwin is also on record supporting President Obama’s $500 billion in cuts to the Defense Department.  If these cuts are enacted it will weaken our military and destroy over 36,000 jobs in the Badger State. Additionally, Baldwin has voted against legislation that provided medical services and extended care facilities for our…

Baldwin & Obama’s Polices Have Added Over $5 Trillion To The National Debt After ramming their $1.76 trillion healthcare bill and their failed $825 billion stimulus through Washington, today President Barack Obama and liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin will hold a rally in Madison reminding voters of just how much money their far-left policies are costing Americans. Tammy Baldwin was a strong supporter of President Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, which she promised would ‘create or save’ 67,000 Wisconsin jobs, yet since this bill was passed the Badger State has lost over 50,000 jobs. Baldwin also supported the President’s $1.76 trillion healthcare bill – which took $716 billion from seniors on Medicare, including $9.4 billion in Wisconsin – and even claimed that the healthcare bill didn’t go far enough. These programs along with their other liberal initiatives have forced President Obama and liberal Congresswoman Baldwin to raise the debt ceiling at least…

Congresswoman Baldwin Supported ObamaCare And The Failed $825 Billion Stimulus After ramming through President Obama’s failed $825 billion stimulus and his $1.76 trillion job-killing healthcare law – which she claimed didn’t go far enough – it’s no wonder that Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin is the most liberal politician the State of Wisconsin has seen in 40 years. Baldwin was a fierce supporter of the $825 billion stimulus, claiming the legislation would ‘create or save’ 67,000 jobs, but since this bill Wisconsin has lost over 50,000 jobs.  And the stimulus was riddled with waste, as money was spent on studying exotic ants and how monkeys react to cocaine. Notably, since Baldwin has been in Washington our national debt has increased by over $10 trillion. “Tammy Baldwin’s record of higher taxes and more spending – which includes supporting a $1.76 trillion government takeover of our healthcare and the failed $825 billion stimulus – is…

Since Baldwin’s Costly Health Care Law Was Passed Premiums Have Increased WASHINGTON — While she was advocating for her $1.76 trillion, job-killing healthcare law, liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin time after time promised that ObamaCare would lower the cost of healthcare, yet today a new report reveals Americans are now paying more for their health care. As the Washington Post reports: “Spending for private health insurance surged by 4.6 percent in 2011…That growth rate is faster than the rest of the economy and higher than the previous year, which had 3.8 percent growth.  Average spending on a private insurance patient rose to $4,547 in 2011, compared with $4,349 in 2010.  That statistic suggests that a recent downturn in health-care spending may have been a temporary product of the recession rather than a more permanent change, as some health-care economists have hoped.”  (Sarah Kliff, Health insurance costs grew slowly for two years. Now, they’re speeding up,Washington…

Baldwin Supported The Liberal Progressive Caucus’ FY 2012, FY 2010 and FY 2009 Budget After supporting some of the most radical tax-and-spend budgets ever in Washington, last week liberal Madison Congresswoman claimed that she’s fiscally responsible. Yet Baldwin has been a staunch supporter of the liberal Progressive Caucus’ budget proposals.  In 2011, she voted for their $3.9 trillion budget that increased spending and raised taxes on every working Wisconsinites because it attempted to wipe out the ’01 and ’03 Congressional tax cuts.   Additionally, she’s on record supporting their FY 2010 and FY 2009 budgets, which too raised taxes and increased spending. Notably, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has reported that Baldwin has the most liberal voting record of any Wisconsin lawmaker in the last 40 years. “It’s sad that liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin has gone to such lengths to deceive voters about her reckless spending habits,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.  “These misleading statements prove…

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is asking liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin today to tell Wisconsinites whether or not she shares President Obama’s view that the serious problems we have seen on the economy and the recent turmoil in the Middle East are just “bumps in the road.” Speaking on CBS’ 60 Minutes last night about the current problems in the Middle East, President Obama said: “I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road…” (CBS’s “60 Minutes,” 9/23/12) These are the same words he used about our economic problems in a speech last year: “There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks, Toledo, OH, 6/3/11) “It’s typical of President Obama and the Democrat leadership to dismiss serious problems as being ‘bumps in the road’.  While they might just be inconvenient to them,…

Report Also Reminds Wisconsin Voters That ObamaCare Didn’t Go Far Enough For Extreme Liberal Baldwin  Over two years ago, liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin supported President Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare bill which forced every Wisconsinite to purchase health insurance and yesterday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released a report on how devastating this tax is for middle-class families. According to the report, nearly 6 million Americans – most of whom are middle class individuals – will be forced to pay the ObamaCare tax penalty for not purchasing healthcare.  Additionally, this tax is expected to cost each individual approximately $1,200. As the Associated Press reports: “Nearly 6 million Americans – most of them in the middle class – will face a tax penalty for not carrying medical coverage once President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law is fully in place, congressional budget analysts said Wednesday. … And the budget office analysis found that…

Last week, liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin claimed that she’s fighting for seniors, yet two years ago she voted for ObamaCare which raided $716 billion from Medicare. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that at least $200 billion will be cut from Medicare Advantage, $150 billion from hospitals, nursing homes and hospices and $40 billion from home healthcare. Additionally, President Obama’s campaign has even bragged about how they cut billions of dollars from Medicare. As CBS News reports: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO Notably, Congresswoman Baldwin once said that she doesn’t believe ObamaCare went far enough and was a supporter of a more radical single-payer healthcare plan. “Liberal Madison Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin claims she’s fighting for seniors, yet her vote for government-run healthcare cut Medicare by $716 billion from seniors who depend on Medicare,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.  “With a record like that, it’s clear Baldwin would rather put…

Years Of Reckless Spending Now Driving Country Off A Fiscal Cliff WASHINGTON – Last month the top Senate Democratic leaders who are overseeing Tammy Baldwin’s campaign for Senate made clear that they were willing to allow the country to go over a “fiscal cliff” unless their demands for massive tax hikes were met. But today, a new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) made clear that as a result of the Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend policies, we are already headed in that direction.  The report shows that the economy would go into a recession and unemployment would increase if the Democrats’ proposed small business tax hike and massive defense cuts are put into effect. “Today’s report is just the latest evidence that the failed economic policies trumpeted by Tammy Baldwin and President Obama are driving our country over a fiscal cliff,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Lance Trover said today.  “From the reckless spending…
