The Hidden Big Tax-And-Spend Records Of 30 So Called "Fiscal Conservative" Freshmen Members Of Congress!

A letter from: the National Tax Limitation Committee

"Dear Conservative Friend,

Are you sick and tired of "fiscal conservatives" in Congress promising to CUT government spending... and then spending like a bunch of drunken Democrats?

So am I -- but what's even worse is that dozens of these supposed "fiscal conservatives" WERE Democrats, who were elected to replace Republicans that had turned into big-government big-spenders!

When voters went to the polls in November 2006 and chastened a number of Republican House Members by electing Democrats to replace them, many thought, "There's not a dime's worth of difference."

They had been told by House Democrat campaign leader Rahm Emanuel, and others, that the "new" Democrats were fiscally reliable "moderates" who could be counted on to control government spending and restore financial order in Washington.

The National Tax Limitation Committee (NTLC) decided to TEST this claim by calculating the scores of the new Democrats on their fiscal-issue votes thus far in the 110th Congress, and to compare them with the 109th Congress voting records of the Republicans they replaced. (NTLC, which has scored Congress on taxpayer issues for over 22 years, has the longest-standing congressional scorecard of any conservative taxpayer organization in America.)

NTLC used its standard selection process, choosing votes that fairly represent the attitude and commitment of the Members toward taxpayer issues and fiscal restraint generally.

The "jury" has returned its "verdict" -- and it is clear that voters have been HOODWINKED and are the victims of a grand political hoax! The new Democrats have solidly endorsed the policies of Nancy Pelosi and the other liberal House leaders. Not only have most new Democrats abandoned any semblance of fiscal responsibility... Congress and people across the nation have also suffered the loss of the cumulative pro-taxpayer voting records of those Republicans they have displaced.

The 30 congressional districts that switched from Republican representation to Democrat as a result of the November '06 election have given Democrats clear control of the House and a death grip on tax and spending policy. And guess what? The new Members have NOT voted like moderates, but have emulated the old-line liberals, with many new Members garnering "ZERO" scores and most earning "F" grades! (Click Here to see the scores.)

Perhaps most damaging to the Nation is the fact that the cumulative pro-taxpayer score of the replaced Republicans was a total of 1982 points during the 109th Congress, while the cumulative pro-taxpayer scores of the replacement Democrats thus far in the 110th Congress has been a meager 170 points -- a ratio favoring the Republicans of more than TEN TO ONE!

It is clear that there has been far more than a "dime's worth of difference" to our Nation's fiscal future in the wake of the November '06 congressional massacre!

So what do we DO about this?

Isn't it time to TELL THE TRUTH about how to best protect taxpayer interests in future congressional elections?

The National Tax Limitation Committee is taking on this job -- we're EXPOSING 30 so-called "centrist" Democrats who ran as fiscal conservatives in 2006, but have since voted like tax-and-spend liberals!

These are the most important House seats in the country -- these districts have a history of sending pro-taxpayer Representatives to Congress, but now they have some of the nation's biggest taxers and spenders!

You may remember in 2006, when House Democrat campaign leader Congressman Rahm Emanuel and others campaigned on the theme that the "new" Democrats were fiscally reliable moderates who could be counted on to control government spending and restore financial order in Washington.

Many fiscally conservative voters, tired of special interest earmarks and reckless spending of the reigning GOP leadership, voted for what seemed like "change."

Thirty of these "fiscal conservative" Democrats replaced Republicans in 2006. They provided the necessary votes to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

Now, after nearly two years in power, the NTLC decided to see if the votes of the Dirty Thirty matched their promises. It was a shocking eye-opener!

Our scorecard proves that these "Dirty Thirty" are telling their fiscally conservative constituents one thing, then voting just the OPPOSITE in Washington, DC!

WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS ANY MORE... So we're going to tell the TRUE STORY to the entire nation!

We will buy ads EXPOSING the Dirty 30 in their key districts!

We will educate Taxpayers on the TRUE deceitful "Dirty Thirty" and how they voted when they got to Washington!

We will identify, organize, and inform taxpayers through mail, phone and internet -- to help spread the TRUTH!

But we need YOUR help to do it.

You and I must rip the lid off this scam and warn the fiscally conservative taxpayers in these key districts before they return the "Dirty Thirty" to Washington to squander billions more of your tax dollars!

The taxpayers in these districts are fiscally conservative. They have elected solid fiscal conservatives in the past. But today, these voters are being told their new Representatives are "budget hawks" -- when the Congressional Record proves this just isn't true.

Thank you for your support of REAL fiscal conservatism.

Sincerely,

Lew Uhler, Founder and President
National Tax Limitation Committee"
