We have a big spender in the White House. We have a big spending Congress. How do we put the breaks on these people? We start by looking for good people to replace them.
Gerry Connolly is our congressman. A gentleman little known to us at the time contested with him to represent us. Connolly smeared his reputation, but that gentleman kept fighting, and he has not given up. That is the kind of determination it will take to win our country back from those who would hock it to the Red Chinese.
Here is the email Keith Fimian sent out announcing his renewed campaign.
Last year I campaigned for Congress on the platform of fiscal responsibility, opposition to corruption and the need to get our economy moving. Those issues are even more critical today.
Consider how Congress has gone out-of-control on spending:
- A staggering one year Federal budget of $3.6 trillion, nearly half of which ($1.7 trillion) is financed by debt.
- $787 billion stimulus law that has done nothing to slow unemployment or spur economic growth.
- A cap-and-trade boondoggle that contains massive taxes that will hit Northern Virginia families.
The numbers are mind numbing. And that doesn’t even include the trillion dollar health care bill being debated!
This Congress has blown through spending records without even reading the bills they are voting on! And this spending has not slowed the growth in unemployment. Rather, it’s creating economic insecurity. Northern Virginia families are hurting and Congress has no answer but more spending.
I had hoped that Gerry Connolly would learn from his mistakes. He drove Fairfax County’s budget into a $648 million ditch of red ink. Then he moved across the Potomac and has continued being a rubber stamp for runaway wasteful spending in the trillions.
We have to say NO to the politicians and special interests who are pushing our nation into bankruptcy. We need to encourage, not burden, small businesses so they can hire people and help our economy grow again.
Because Gerry Connolly has proven he is incapable of addressing the challenges Northern Virginia families face, I have decided to run once again for the 11th Congressional District.
The hard truth is America faces enormous challenges. We are mortgaging our grandchildren’s future with this spending and massive debt. It jeopardizes our jobs, economy, retirement, homes – our entire way of life.
I’ve created jobs. I’ve tackled tough budgets. In Congress I will put the brakes on the spending, curb the special interests and focus on getting our economy moving again so our children and grandchildren will have an America as great as the one we inherited. I ask for your support.
Hopefully, Republican Party candidates running for the House of Delegates and statewide offices will join forces with fiscal conservatives such as Keith Fimian. If we want to take our country back, we must first begin near at home.
