Andy Barr For Congress, KY Sixth District

Dear Friend:

These are difficult times for the American people.  The unemployment rate continues to exceed 9 percent.  Over 14 million Americans remain unemployed.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now 1.7 million fewer jobs in America than there were when Congressman Ben Chandler voted for the failed trillion dollar stimulus.  

Years of reckless overspending has produced the first ever downgrade in the nation’s credit rating.  And just last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked 6.41 percent, suffering its worst five-day sell-off since October 2008.  

In short, the Obama-Chandler agenda of massive spending, huge debt, burdensome regulations and higher taxes hasn’t worked.  In fact, it’s making the economy worse.

Now the President is proposing more of the same—another half trillion dollar stimulus coupled with $1.5 trillion in new taxes on the American people.

Everywhere across the nation, people are rising up, objecting to Washington’s overreach and making their voices heard.  Unfortunately, these are voices Ben Chandler repeatedly ignores.

Chandler has continuously voted for the failed policies of Barack Obama.  He voted for the failed trillion dollar stimulus—the same stimulus that gave over $500 million of your tax money to the now bankrupt Solyndra.  He voted for cap and trade, legislation that would cost Kentuckians over 35,000 jobs.  And he voted to save the unconstitutional Obamacare, which Kentuckians overwhelmingly oppose.  

While our nation desperately needs jobs, bureaucrats from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) attack Boeing, prohibiting this great American company from building a plant in a right to work state.  Meanwhile, Chandler enables the bureaucrats, voting against a bill that would prohibit the NLRB from ordering any employer to relocate, shut down, or transfer employment under any circumstance.  

Despite all of Chandler’s incessant double-talk, he continues to vote against private sector job growth while raising money from unions, trial lawyers and liberal special interest groups to fuel his war chest.  He will not stop promoting his big government, anti-growth agenda until we send him home.

There are only five days left until our next financial reporting deadline.  Please go to andybarrforcongress.com today and help me put a stop to the Obama-Chandler job-killing agenda by contributing
$25, $50, $100, $250 or any amount you can afford. I promise to continue to campaign tirelessly for you as we fight to make Washington more accountable to the American people.
 
Thank you for your continued support and for joining our cause for jobs, growth and economic freedom.
Sincerely,

Andy Barr
