Tuesday's primary results from our neighboring states of Indiana and West Virginia points to good news for our race in Ohio this November! Richard Mourdock harnessed the grassroots energy to defeat a six-term incumbent U.S. Senator - a storyline that parallels our race here in Ohio. And, a shocking 41% of West Virginia Democratic primary voters rejected Barack Obama on the ballot! These voters are the same type of church-going, conservative-minded folks that live in the "swing voter" region we are targeting in Southeastern Ohio. As a Marine Corps veteran who served two tours in Iraq, I have the discipline and drive to carry our constitutional conservative banner forward for victory this November. All I need are the resources to carry our message forward. That's why I am writing you today. I need your help. Our left-wing opponent Sherrod Brown is a darling of Harry Reid and Barack Obama. He was dubbed by National Journal as the "Most Liberal" U.S. Senator for two years in a row - alongside Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an avowed Socialist! He is backed by millions of dollars from big-money liberal special interests and unions that will stop at nothing to block the election of a young, unwavering conservative leader like me. Sherrod Brown is the very definition of what is wrong with Washington - from voting to increase our taxes to casting the deciding vote for Obamacare - something he did only after objecting that it wasn't liberal enough! Brown's record is totally out of step with your values and mine. He's been more interested in working to help President Obama with his radical agenda than in helping the people of Ohio. Ohio is always a major battleground state, every presidential year. The Obama team has highlighted Ohio, and is going to pour an incredible amount of money into the state. Sherrod Brown is in trouble and he knows it. That's why he is bringing in money from left-wing groups across America - in the most recent quarter he raised 2.4 million dollars! That's why I need your help. The Left understands just how important this race is. I hope conservatives like you do too. Not only could control of the entire Senate come down to this seat here in Ohio, but if I win, it means Barack Obama loses Ohio and the White House itself. Every dollar that goes into my campaign won't just go to defeat Sherrod Brown, it'll go to help our Republican team defeat President Obama too. In the Marine corps, that's what we call a "force multiplier." I am proud to have received the endorsement of staunch conservatives like Senator Jim DeMint and the Club for Growth. As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, and a U.S. Marine, I have a deep and abiding love of this country. So as I lace up my boots for the next phase of my campaign, I need to know I can count on strong supporters like you to stand with me in the grueling months ahead. With your help today, I will keep reaching out to voters throughout Ohio and lay the groundwork for a winning U.S. Senate campaign this November. This is going to be the biggest Senate race in America. I can win this seat - but not without your help. Can I count on you today? Josh Mandel Republican Nominee, United States Senate, Ohio |
On April 30 -- just two weeks away -- the Obama Labor Board's radical
"ambush" election procedure is set to go in effect...
...unless concerned citizens like you demand Congress stands up to the
out-of-control federal agency.
S.J. Res. 36, a Joint Resolution of Disapproval, would stop these new
"ambush" election rules -- the latest backdoor scheme by the Obama
Labor Board to undermine Congressional authority and grant Big Labor the power
it sought from the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill.
It's vital you contact your U.S. Senators and Representative immediately and
urge them to support the Joint Resolution of Disapproval to prevent
implementation of the National Labor Relations Board's "ambush"
election rules.
Sen. Maria Cantwell: (202)

Sen. Patty Murray: (202)

Rep. Dave Reichert: (202)

Before you call, let me remind you what's at stake.
You see, this rule change diminishes employees' ability to make a
fully-informed decision by reducing time in which the union certification
election process occurs from the current average of 38 days to as little as one
week.
When making such an important decision as to whether or not they want a union's
so-called "representation," American workers should not only be
protected from the intimidation so often employed by union bosses but must also
be afforded the time necessary to make a fully-informed decision.
Unless S.J. Res 36 passes, union bosses could browbeat workers with one-sided
propaganda while workers would be denied sufficient time to organize in
opposition to the union.
Worse, allowing the new rules will likely result in additional harassment
and intimidation for hundreds of thousands of American workers.
The NLRB's proposal to adopt these rules sparked a record-breaking outcry from
Americans like you last summer.
Over 65,000 comments poured into the NLRB -- the vast majority against the
proposed rules -- but the former union lawyers on the NLRB were desperate to
ram it through anyway.
The final rule is set to take effect on April 30 -- so time is running out!
That's why it's vital you contact your Senators and Representative
IMMEDIATELY and urge them to support S.J. Res. 36.
Sen. Maria Cantwell: (202)
224-3441
Sen. Patty Murray: (202)
224-2621
Rep. Dave Reichert: (202)
225-7761
Congress, responding to the grassroots pressure from concerned citizens like
you, recognized the danger presented to American workers by Big Labor's Card
Check scheme and rightfully refused to pass it.
But after years of backroom deals expanding Big Labor's power over workers,
Congress has an opportunity to send a message to the Obama Administration --
and the American people -- that enough is enough.
The Obama Labor Board has gone far beyond its authority in serving Big Labor's
agenda.
Congress must stop the runaway NLRB and its assaults on workers and businesses
in this country.
That is why I hope you will call your Senators and Representative right away
and urge them to support S.J. Res. 36, which would use the Congressional Review
Act to stop the union bosses and their allies on the Obama Labor Board, before
it's too late.
Sen. Maria Cantwell: (202)
224-3441
Sen. Patty Murray: (202)
224-2621
Rep. Dave Reichert: (202)
225-7761
The final rule is set to take effect on April 30, so there's not a moment to
lose.
And after you've called your elected officials, please chip in with a contribution of $10
or more today to help support the Committee's programs.
Please, act right away.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
None of 'em will publicly admit it, of course, because the bulk of Donks want, indeed lust after, an entitlements-triggered fiscal/economic apocalypse as the long-awaited crisis of sufficient magnitude for their tin god to exploit to finally, forcibly, formally overthrow what's left of constitutional, republican (small "r") government and establish a Marxist-Alinskyist Nirvana in its place.
I don't know that I believe just shy of a quarter of the Senate Dem caucus is really anywhere near on the same page as the guy who hurls enfeebled grandmothers off cliffs for kicks in his spare time. But then, there are a like number of them who are from "red" states and hanging on to their seats by their fingernails, too. A little faux bipartisanship might be just what their ailing re-election bids need.

Gretta Van Sustren is no Megyn Kelly; but then neither is DWS. And, OBTW, I think I've finally got a peg for the animatronic Donk lying points spouter: zombified Tiny Tim. Glad I can check THAT one off my bucket list.
Oh, one more thing: Here she assures Gretta that there'll be a Senate budget. Now if she can assure me that that VW bus full of cheerleaders scenario will actually happen to me, the ol' bucket list will be just about complete.
My problem would be (1) Dirty Harry would be driving it and (2) they'd all look like DWS. Which, I suppose, would be slightly better than the reverse.
Another box for President Check-The-Box to check:
Before taking up their own budget plan for next year, House Republicans pushed a version of President Obama's $3.6 trillion budget to the floor for a vote, and it was it was unanimously defeated, 414-0.
Republicans have opposed Obama's budget all year, criticizing its tax increases on the wealthy and saying it lacks sufficient spending cuts. ...
GOP lawmakers forced the vote on Obama's plan as a tactical move aiming at embarrassing Democrats. The Democrats have defended Obama's budget priorities, but they largely voted "no" Wednesday night.
Republicans said Democrats were afraid to vote for Obama's proposed tax increases and extra spending for energy and welfare. Democrats said Republicans had forced a vote on a version of Obama's budget that contained only its numbers, not the policies he would use to achieve them.
I'd wager the White House didn't even notice.
And why would they? Both last year's and this year's budget Regime submissions were political, not fiscal, documents, designed for no other purpose than to gin up enthusiasm in the Li'l President's tepid lunatic fringe base in advance of a highly difficult re-election bid by pandering to the nutters' unquenchable lust for Donk-empowering economic calamity and national collapse (aka "going Greek") with trillion-dollar annual deficits as far as the eye can see. It's the other side of the same reason coin from why Dirty Harry Reid's Senate Democrat majority hasn't produced a budget of its own in three years; last cycle, this one, and 2014, Dems had/have/will have many more seats at risk than the GOP (a product of big Donk gains in 2006 and 2008) in swing and "red" states, and accordingly public votes in favor of Red Barry's risible mega-debt storms are not ones vulnerable Democrat senators want to make. And if forced to, they'll vote no (like last year's 97-0 skunking) while voting yes in their black, sinister hearts. Just like House Dems did last night.
Ultimately this is all about marking time until the November election. Dem control of the Senate is not long for this world in any case, but if B.O. does get his second term, let's just say it will be very interesting to see what kind of budget he submits to a unified Republican Congress a year from now - if he submits one at all.
UPDATE: Ryan does Debbie - resoundingly:.
After you watch the video you'll
be fully aware of just how important an up-or-down vote on the National Right
to Work Act will be.
If you and I force Congress to go on record for or against the National Right
to Work Act, we'll be able to mobilize against the enemies of worker freedom
this November.
But the last thing the union bosses want is for us to expose their cronies
in Congress to the nearly 80% of Americans who support the Right to Work.
That's why they'll pull out the big guns to stop any up-or-down vote from
happening.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
Remember when Republicans used to dream of having the awesome power a congressional majority in the GOP's hands? Watch House Goverment Oversight Committee Chairman and anti-Obama crusader Darrel Issa's interview, and heed the lesson it teaches: It's not about what part of government we or the Dems control, it's about what we (and they) are willing to do with it.
Posting about this old bat sure is a delightful palate-cleanser when she's gavel-less:
Perhaps no one else in the Democrat Party is so genuously dim-witted as Crazy Nancy. She appears blissfully unaware of how moronic she sounds pretty much every time she opens her piehole. She's so earnestly convinced of what isn't so and so faithfully ignorant in extolling O-Care's non-existent virtues with zealous turd-in-every-pocket fervor that you have no difficulty believing that she's clueless about what the rest of us discovered about that obscenity from her corrupt, despicable passage of it.
OTOH, her knowledge of the founding documents seems almost without parallel. Good thing she didn't quit after the ass-kicking she brought down on House Donks last cycle, or my co-host slot on Constitution Radio might have been in jeopardy....
