S. House Seat in response.&lt;br /&gt;We will stay a great nation with the help of immigrants, but only if they are legal immigrants. As such we must work to secure our borders, enforce employer sanctions and reject any effort to give welfare to those here illegally.  We should make it more difficult for people here illegally to transfer money out of the country. Amnesty is not an answer to the illegal immigrants here now. It only encourages others to sneak in, hoping they will be put at the head of the line in front of others who are legally going through the process, stated Urquhart.&lt;br /&gt;Campaign Communications Director David Anderson blasted the recent Carney statements as out of touch with Delaware values.&lt;br /&gt;John Carney is running distorted negative ads falsely declaring Glen Urquhart an extremist.  Now we know why.  He is hiding his own extremism.  His support of amnesty is the first example we will cite.&lt;br /&gt;In an interview with the state’s most widely read newspaper, Democrat John Carney endorsed a guest worker program as a door way to amnesty. http://www.delawareonline.com/section/videonetwork?bctid=644269801001 At 28:42 in the clip, career politician John Carney started rightfully pointed out that the Guest worker program he is touting is a path way to “amnesty”.   John Carney’s disregard for the rule of law is an extreme position that should give anyone pause before casting a ballot, said Anderson.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End&lt;br /&gt;http://www.glen4liberty.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8343772121588970688-6198301572839421004?l=battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/feeds/6198301572839421004/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8343772121588970688&amp;postID=6198301572839421004" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8343772121588970688/posts/default/6198301572839421004?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8343772121588970688/posts/default/6198301572839421004?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/2010/10/delaware-democrat-supports-amnesty-for.html" title="Delaware Democrat Supports Amnesty for Illegals" /><author><name>David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="24" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_7P5mSyMyFvE/SAztow-ZfQI/AAAAAAAAAAM/alJGYfq4ZQw/S220/Picture+016.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0cER3w4fip7ImA9Wx5UGU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343772121588970688.post-6496107837734293247</id><published>2010-10-24T02:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-10-24T02:23:26.236-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-10-24T02:23:26.236-05:00</app:edited><title>It is time for Courage, Fellow Patriots.</title><content type="html">"The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding," Justice Louis D. Brandeis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever believed it was time to stand up for Americanism, believe it now.   Free enterprise, free political expression, freedom of religion, and a free and independent America are at stake in this election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that American freedom has not been under such an assault since the height of the Cold War.  What is worse is that the threat is not from agents overseas, but our own leaders.  It is not from those who mean us harm, but those who mean us well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyperbole, No.  Let me make my case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Regime in Washington has taken every turn to shackle the American economy.  The appointed admitted Marxists and Maoists to the highest positions not requiring confirmation.  They are trying to impose new restrictions on the Chesapeake watershed which could devastate the Delaware economy.  They are pushing new EPA rules on carbon dioxide which would give dangerous unconstitutional power to the EPA to run every aspect of American life in an effort to scare Congress into some form of Cap and Trade.  Cap and Trade would cost 2.3 million jobs and each family $1769 to make their rich cronies billions upon billions.  They are pushing a tax bill which would cost Delawareans 20,ooo jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are working overtime to dismantle America's nuclear deterrent while at the same time eliminating the missile shield which was the result of two decades of work and innovation.  We are a weaker nation and more vulnerable than anytime since Jimmy Carter and maybe Peril Harbor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The courts are being packed with ACLU types who have unleashed a religious cleansing.  We are on the verge of a secular/religious apartheid. The courts are trying to wipe America clear of any tradition of based upon faith.  They assault the definition of marriage, they assault the right to post the Ten commandments, they assault the right to have a cross at  a Veteran's cemetery, they assault the military's ability to maintain order and discipline in the middle of a war.  Courts threatened to jail Americans for praying over a meal.  Nativity scenes are challenged at Christmas. The mere criticism of the distortion of the so called separation of church and state is treated like a crime against the state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have raided the middle class to bailout their billionaire friends.  We are stuck with the highest sustained unemployment since the Great Depression.  The national debt is skyrocketing.  We are no longer loaning it to ourselves.  What foreign powers are not loaning us, we are printing.  We have replaced monetary policy with the insanity that bankrupts nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the rule of law itself is under assault.  The regime in Washington is trying to find backdoor ways to give amnesty to illegals and our own Amnesty John Carney has just declared his intent to back them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our values are under assault, our economy is undermined, and the rule of law is undervalued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends it is time to get motivated.  We need to fight for our country, our liberty, and our children.  We need to tell our friends and our families that they need to get off the fence and in the trenches.  This election is not about personalities.  It is about survival.  We can no longer afford the luxury of Coons, Carney, Flowers, Korn, or your local go along Democrat.  The day to make a difference is November 2.  If you are going to throw your vote away, stay home.  If you are going to be serious, then you will vote for candidates who support the Constitution over those who would undermine it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. --Justice Louis Brandice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   My fellow patriots, where ever you are join with me in showing that courage necessary to secure that gift of liberty.  Let the ring of freedom be heard loudly across America.  Let it be heard so loudly that it will be an hundred years before the clanging of the chains of socialism is ever heard again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget the odds.  The Voice of Truth says trust, believe, and work for victory.

This Friday October 15, I WANT YOUR MONEY – the highly anticipated, hilarious Obama exposé that everyone is talking about - will open in movie theaters nationwide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you’re tired of Obama’s big-government-tax-and-spend policies, YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!  I WANT YOUR MONEY is a controversial new film about the competing economic visions championed by Presidents Reagan and Obama –  a duel of speeches, wit, animation and narrative that leaves audiences laughing, cheering, yelling . . . and engages them in the national conversation about the mounting national debt, and why it matters.  After all, &lt;b&gt;IT’S YOUR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I screened this movie and then participated in two advanced showings of the film to two very different audiences. One in Washington, D.C and one in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains.  The movie resonated with both audiences and it will resonate with a majority of people except for liberal elites.  Although a documentary, the movie is interspersed with animated cartoons which allows the viewer time to absorb the material and to have a laugh while points are illustrated. Without these cartoons the movie would indeed be shorter, peoples blood pressure would be elevated, and their minds would have been overtaxed with the reality of the present situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also hope in this movie as the truth is shared about socialism which is destructive to individual freedoms and the well being of people. The words of Ronald Reagan share how capitalism, individual freedom and choice raises the economic well being of all people at all income levels. Audiences will find finds themselves cheering at the end movie when the "Gipper" takes on Barack Obama. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take your family and friends to this movie.  While the November elections are upon us, this movie will help prepare people for conversations with their elected officials after the elections.  It is time to hold them accountable at all levels be it Federal, State, County or City.  Remember, it is "your money," your family and friends' money and the money of future generations that the government is taking and wasting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I Want Your Money includes insightful interviews with Newt Gingrich, Steve Forbes, Ed Meese, Mike Huckabee, John Stossel, Michael Reagan, Congressmen Tom McClintock, Thad McCotter and former California governor Pete Wilson, among many others, EXPLAINING CLEARLY WHY OBAMA’S PLAN HAS FAILED, AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO RECOVER.&lt;br /&gt;

However, conservatives are not resting but are out there on all fronts in Arkansas working to see that this occurs.  The latest NYT status report for Congress:&lt;br /&gt;

However, Ray McKinney won the Republican primary over several opponents including having a run-off. With McKinney in the race, &lt;a href="http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/house/georgia/12"rel="nofollow" target="new"&gt;&lt;b style="color: black;"&gt;the NY Times&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as of this note has the district leaning democrat instead of solidly democrat.  While McKinney has considerably less money, his message seems to be resonating among voters.  In addition to his campaign staff, McKinney has in his arsenal of dedicated workers a young political activist, Ali Akbar, a young conservative activist who is respected by other conservative activist.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gagop12.com/" rel="nofollow" target="new"&gt;&lt;b style="color: maroon;"&gt;Ray McKinney for Congress (GA-12):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It’s so good to be among my fellow Republicans today. Like you, I’m here today because of my deep love for this country. Like you, I believe our nation is on the wrong track, and there must be a change in Washington, starting with the House of Representatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After two years of total Democratic rule, the debt has climbed into the trillions, real unemployment is approaching 20 percent, and we are facing a real prospect of a double dip recession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We need a change of leadership in Congress, and that change can start right here in the twelfth district by defeating Democrat incumbent John Barrow this November.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have just completed a primary election. I know that a number of you supported one of the other excellent candidates. All four of us had the same goals: reduce spending, stop tax increases, protect life and adhere to constitutional principles that guarantee liberty and individual rights. As we move into the general election season, we must work together to achieve those goals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know we have a long, difficult road ahead of us. John Barrow has a lot of money. We do not. As a six year incumbent, John Barrow has pretty good name i.d. I’m not nearly as well known. But John Barrow has one big negative: his liberal voting record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barrow says he’s a conservative “blue dog” Democrat, and on the campaign trail he says he’s for spending cuts. But his actions in Washington tell another story. Barrow is a big spender and a job killer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some examples: He voted for legislation raising taxes and extending unemployment benefits without adhering to “pay as you go” rules. It added over $50 billion to the deficit. It also imposed a 24 cent tax on each barrel of oil – that’s 500 million dollars a year. He voted for a resolution allowing congress to spend money for the next fiscal year without passing an actual budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can’t forget the one trillion dollars in so-called stimulus spending, the bailouts of GM and Chrysler, and the 700 billion dollar bank bailout. He voted for the financial institutions reform law which makes bank bailouts permanent. It also imposes taxes on banks which they pass on to the consumers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s not enough for us to point out John Barrow’s job killing voting record. Voters must have a positive alternative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s why I have developed a plan to restore the economy and create jobs. It includes: repealing and replacing Obamacare, immediately cutting spending by 1.3 trillion dollars, restoring the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, making the repeal of the death tax permanent, easing regulations that hinder small businesses, and removing the barriers to domestic energy development, including nuclear power and oil drilling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe the voters of the twelfth district are ready for solutions that work. But I need your help. I need you to help spread the word. Others will talk today about things we can do on the grassroots level… making phone calls, going door to door, writing letters to the editor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
John Barrow has money on his side, I have you, the people, on my side. And that will propel us into victory this November.&lt;br /&gt;

The vote took place at the RNC’s Summer Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are excited to be holding our 2012 Convention in Tampa Bay. The Site Selection Committee worked incredibly hard to find and present the best city to our Members, and I am very pleased with the decision made today to ratify this selection,” said RNC Chairman Michael Steele. “As we begin our planning efforts, we have been beyond impressed by the community’s hospitality and warm welcome, and I am confident that this will be a true team effort as we move towards 2012.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“From the start of this process Chairman Steele and the Site Selection Committee have focused on what would be the best business deal for the RNC, the Convention, and the city.  Tampa has easily met all of these challenges and more, and we are thrilled to bring the Republican Convention to Florida,” said Holly Hughes, Site Selection Chairman. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2012 Republican National Convention will be held the week of August 27th.  In downtown Tampa, the St Pete Times Forum will serve as the Convention venue, and the Tampa Convention Center being used for the Media Workspace. It is expected that the convention will bring 45,000 people to the region in the 5 day period.  It is also projected that the region will see over 150 million dollars in revenue during the convention week. &lt;br /&gt;

Why did Florida Republican voters not support Gov. Charlie Crist for their party's nomination?  Maybe it was because they understood the real problems associated with Jim Greer and Crist.  They may have been nice enough not to have hang out the dirty laundry, but they knew which people were creating it.  Obviously, based on polling numbers, they didn't want to be associate with Crist any longer.  Crist has now gone  Independent and he kept the money donated by Republicans donors and the Florida Republican Party!  Wonder how much came from his buddy Jim Greer?&lt;br /&gt;

If you need information about assisting Christine O'Donnell, please e-mail me:  &lt;a href="mailto:TalkTop65@aol.com"&gt;TalkTop65@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi friends and fellow conservatives. I would like to encourage everyone to make a monetary contribution to help Christine O'Donnell succeed in beating a RINO in the Delaware primary election. She is a candidate for Joe Biden's US Senate seat. I realize you don't live in Delaware, however her election to the Senate is critical in order for us to take our country back. Christine is a Constitutional Conservative. Delaware's primary is September 14th, only weeks before the general election. She is in a tight race against a liberal RINO and she needs our support. Please send as large or small of a donation that you can afford. I am confident she can win the general election if she can beat the RINO Mike Castle that she is up against. I can't over emphasize the importance of her winning Joe Biden's Senate seat. This would send a signal to Washington every bit as big as the signal sent by Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. Below is her site where you can make a contribution and help in other ways if you desire. Thank you for your support.

Wish I could have been there; there was a great list of speakers.  But one of the people that caught their attention was Pastor Stephen Broden who did the opening prayer for the event.  Broden is the Republican conservative candidate for Congress in Texas’ 30th District against socialist Eddie Bernice Johnson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Duane and Jim caught up with Pastor Broden and asked him about Michael Steele’s assertion that black Americans didn’t have a reason to vote for Republicans.  Duane recorded the question and Broden's response which you will find revealing and on target.  Michale Steele is not on the right track but Stephen Broden and numerous other conservative blacks are on the right track and waiting for Steele to join them.  Please view &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOhyK1uRV0" target="new"&gt;&lt;b style="color: black;"&gt;the video&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In summary, to quote Broden, &lt;b&gt;“Michael Steele, you are wrong!”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

His goal now is to become the most liberal Republican in the Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cap-and-trade? Mike Castle is for it. Repeal of Obama's health care monstrosity? Castle is against it. Huge Obama spending bills? Castle is for them. More money for the UN? Castle loves the idea. Bailouts for reckless banks? Castle thinks they're a capital idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the words of &lt;a href="http://christine2010.com/"&gt;Christine&lt;/a&gt;, "the last thing the Senate needs is one more liberal." She calls liberals "post-Americans." That doesn't mean they're anti-U.S. . . . just that they believe America is no big deal, just another nation in the alphabet that runs from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christine may be the most unlikely candidate in a generation to run for the US Senate. She's not, unlike Castle, a millionaire. She doesn't live, unlike Castle, in a mansion. She lives in a townhouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She's not, unlike Castle, a career politician -- he was first elected in 1966, well before Christine was born. He's part of the "old Delaware" aristocracy, where she's the Irish-Italian offspring (one of six kids) from a blue-collar family. He's a member of the dwindling GOP establishment, where she's as antiestablishment as they come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said in one of my recent pieces about her, she's a "love-thy-neighbor-period" type of Christian. She's a conservative who believes that capitalists (especially those on Wall Street) are sometimes their own worst enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can Christine really win in a Blue state like Delaware, one that reelected Joe Biden in an almost Pavlovian way? Let me ask another question: was there any possibility an unknown like Scott Brown could win in Deep-Blue Massachusetts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, Christine ran a "sacrificial lamb" campaign against Joe Biden (also running for "his" Senate seat). He outspent her 42-to-1. But she ending up getting 140,500 votes, 35,000 more than any Republican candidate had garnered against Biden in his previous five races. The MSM ignored her, but the voters didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christine certainly can win if we part with some hard-earned cash necessary to get her message out. She can win if bloggers and online communicators let everyone know -- today -- that she deserves to win, just as you did with Scott Brown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she can win if people sacrifice their hard-earned vacation time to go to Delaware, as many of you did in Massachusetts. An army of volunteers can overcome her opponent Castle's Mt. Everest of cash. He has the special interest groups -- all of them. Christine has us, you and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Castle got his cash from special interests, including Wall Street banks and law firms who do their bidding. Christine will spend one-fifth as much money as Castle, but will do so five times more wisely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm asking every activist in America to "adopt" this good woman. Her race will be the most-exciting -- and eventually the most-talked-about in the country. She is in every way the real deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm asking you to make sacrifices of time and money for &lt;a href="http://christine2010.com/"&gt;Christine O'Donnell&lt;/a&gt;. That's the same thing as asking you to make sacrifices for the country she loves -- and we love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can sent $10, please do so. If you can send $20 or even $50, please fire away. &lt;a href="https://secure.donortownsquare.com/SSL/donate.aspx?sgst=-1&amp;amp;amt=50&amp;amp;ai=670&amp;amp;qs=WHT"&gt;https://secure.donortownsquare.com/SSL/donate.aspx?sgst=-1&amp;amp;amt=50&amp;amp;ai=670&amp;amp;qs=WHT&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Note: See my regular columns on the Delaware race and other important ones at: &lt;a href="http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Christine O'Donnell, Michael Castle, Joseph Biden, Donations to Christine O'Donnell, Michele Bachmann, CPAC&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8343772121588970688-6628767516096375732?l=battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/feeds/6628767516096375732/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8343772121588970688&amp;postID=6628767516096375732" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8343772121588970688/posts/default/6628767516096375732?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8343772121588970688/posts/default/6628767516096375732?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/2010/04/christine-odonnell-americas-favorite.html" title="Christine O'Donnell: America's Favorite Daughter" /><author><name>Stephen R.

Written and Performed by Joel Pollak (R)&lt;br /&gt;
Nominee for Congress - 9th District, Illinois&lt;br /&gt;
Chicago Tax Day Tea Party - April 15, 2010&lt;/center&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;On a cold night in Boston, three ships in the dock&lt;br /&gt;
With their valuable cargo still waiting to stock&lt;br /&gt;
But the colonists wont pay the duty on tea&lt;br /&gt;
And the governor wont let the ships out to sea&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chorus:&lt;br /&gt;
Sing - hey, hey, what do we say?&lt;br /&gt;
American freedom is here to stay!&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, hey, what do we say?&lt;br /&gt;
Don't tax our freedom away!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now the Crown has been adding new fees by the score&lt;br /&gt;
And the people don't think they can bear any more&lt;br /&gt;
Yet they don't have a vote, so they don't have a say&lt;br /&gt;
And they're starting to talk about breaking away&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Chorus)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width="20"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Now the people have gathered round the Old Meeting House&lt;br /&gt;
If the governor listens, they'll still hear him out&lt;br /&gt;
But Sam Adams, he reads the report with a frown&lt;br /&gt;
So the people decide that the tea must do down&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Chorus)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So they don their disguises and clamber aboard&lt;br /&gt;
And the governors tea is soon tossed overboard&lt;br /&gt;
And the news spreads throughout the thirteen colonies&lt;br /&gt;
That our country's new motto is Don't Tread On Me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Chorus)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now today we have gathered--young, old, black, and white&lt;br /&gt;
And we've all got the vote, so we don't need to fight&lt;br /&gt;
But if Washington taxes our future away&lt;br /&gt;
Then well throw them all out on Election Day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Chorus)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In just over a year, Democrats in Washington have proposed trillions of dollars in new taxes on American Families -- and passed hundreds of billions in new taxes to pay for their government takeover of our health care.
