Congressman Joe Walsh Opens Fox Lake Office — 3 Comments

  1. Joe-
    I am amazed to see you abandon your Tea Party roots already in voting against the amendement prohibiting PLA’s. PLA’s are a known waste of taxpayer dollars. From your campaign website

    Principle 7 – The burden of debt is as destructive to human freedom as subjugation by conquest.

    Since the end of last year, our Federal Government has gone on a spending spree unlike anything seen in human history. President Bush started the ball rolling with the TARP program and President Obama doubled down with his pork-laden omnibus spending bill and the wasteful stimulus package. All the while, our deficits mounted and we continue to pile on more and more debt. If something isn’t done soon, we’ll literally be bankrupting our kids and grandkids and robbing them of all the opportunities that this country has offered to us. President Reagan defined the anti-free-market actions of the federal government as follows: The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

    It is time to return our Federal Government to its first purposes. Thomas Jefferson is reputed to have said, “The best government is that which governs least.” In Washington today, however, the government is trying to regulate, control, or tax every aspect of our lives. I want to go to Congress to put a huge “STOP” sign up in front of this runaway train of government spending.

    PLA”s are set asides for 13% of the construction workforce. You think that is opening competition for government spending?

    It takes courage to back your own convictions. You will expose your weakness if you keep voting against your campaign promises. The voters are tired of liars and self serving representation.

    The same issue will be coming up for a vote in the next few weeks under House Bill 735. Please let me know your intentions so we can advise your constituents. They will need to know that it only took 30 days for you to give up to special interests.

    If you are going to vote like Melissa Bean, why did you run for office?

  2. WHY DOESN’T THE TEA PARTY GET IN STEP WITH THE REST OF THE PEOPLE AND VOTE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR ENTIRE REPUPLIC?
    THE FIRST LEGISLATION ON BUDGET AND DEFICIT JOE WALSH SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS WAS CONSIDERED “THE WORST THEY HAVE EVER SEEN.”

  3. Joe’s spiffy new office sharply contrasts with the sad state in which he leaves his family. Preaching fiscal conservatism and prescribing a course for our economy he has been sued by several for nonpayment and lost his house in foreclosure. Preaching family values and espousing anti- choice, he fathered children whom he owes some amount of child support(which he has not paid) and took vacations and campaigned on cash that could have fed them. If this is family values, you can have them! People-saying something does not make it true. Facts are facts. He is a hypocrite but scarier to me are those that voted for him over a class act like Melissa Bean. He won by a skinny haircut but when the 49% of us that didn’t vote for him ask him to modify his harsh rhetoric he replies that ” I proudly represent you.” Joe, you do not so please stop saying that you do. Ps- The budget wrangling is already slowing the economy and we will and can, blame you.
