[StBernard] Obama's Dependable Vote

[Westley Annis]

This past week, it was widely reported that President Obama and Congressional liberals have talked one their most dependable southern votes, Charlie Melancon, into challenging me for the United States Senate.

President Obama and the Congressional liberals have overwhelming control of the U.S. House of Representatives. And they are on the verge of filibuster-proof, unchecked power in the U.S. Senate that would force their radical agenda upon us all. But I am standing in the way of that.

I’ve been called "one of the biggest thorns in the Obama Administration's side." I’ve been an outspoken opponent of President Obama's requests for more taxpayer-funded bailouts, his $800 billion stimulus, and Obama’s bloated budget. 

In contrast, President Obama’s close ally Charlie Melancon voted with him on every one of these crucial issues. Melancon endorsed Obama in 2008, voted in lock step for Obama’s $800 billion stimulus plan, and supported his horrendous budget which will double our national debt in five years and triple it in ten. Melancon even voted for the $700 billion Wall Street Bailout twice.

There couldn’t be a clearer contrast in voting records for Louisiana voters to decide on next fall. But I need your help now to begin to get that message out. Please contribute to my campaign now in time for our next finance report due June 30. <http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=dsJKK0OKImLZJhJ&s=aoLFLOOsHaJIITOxFpF&m=koJMKROwHaJPH> 

Thank you for standing by me - for standing up for Louisiana - as we fight for our future.
