Watch What the Left Hand is Doing

Author: [MOC4L] Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson Tracker
Watch that left hand, and the other side of the the mouth
Some very interesting information put together by Missourian veteran Terry Kinder about our 8th district Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson. I have found that the facts that are known about Emerson’s voting record are few and far between here in the 8th district. Have the Republican’s been telling you about Emerson’s voting record? No. Have the Democrats? Why would they, Emerson votes with the Dems and Pelosi and Reed more than any other Missouri Republican in Congress.
Does the media tell you the truth?
Emerson brings back millions in pork for the towns and special interests in the 8th district. She is one of the top ear markers in Congress.
This is very problematic for media to expose things like that and then sell newspapers and advertising. They find it is best just to go along to get along. It’s a cushy situation. Don’t make anyone mad, everybody gets their money and their ”favors” and the American taxpayer and your grandchildren get stuck with the tab. This is what is wrong in America. No one is speaking out, it’s always the other districts Congress person that is the problem, not yours.
My solutions? Get back the constitution. No bailouts. No cap and trade. No government takeover of healthcare. Uphold our second amendment gun rights. Protect the unborn, Pro Life. No more ”free trade” that has destroyed our jobs. Stop Spending so much money! Look out for the people that produce in America and help create a better environment for jobs and production. I don’t promise more spending. I do promise to do everything in my power to shrink government back into it’s constitutional constraints.
My 33 years of running my own private business in the 8th district give me the experience to know what is takes to keep jobs and create jobs here in Missouri. I know as an employer for many years the challenges small business owners and farmers face.
If you like the status quo just delete this. If you see something happening in America that is not good and want to restore our freedoms and our great country, just read the information on the Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson Tracker site.
I don’t have the million dollar campaign war chest by sucking up to every special interest I can. I want to represent you, the hard working forgotten working people in America. I won’t sell my soul to the special interests and labor unions.
I believe that when you realize how serious I am about this that you will want to help my campaign. I want to represent the farmers, seniors, teachers, factory workers, and the common men and women just like me that still long for freedom and prosperity for us and our families.
I believe we are about to lose our country that we know and love. Obama and company are fundamentally transforming our country… and not for the best. I believe we can take it back, but it is rapidly slipping away now. We must take back Congress in 2010! Put me there to fight for you! Put me there to fight for and uphold our Constitution!
The good book says “my people perish for lack of knowledge.” Read… and learn. The country you save may be your own.

John McCain Admits Bailout Was a Mistake
This is why we have to elect people that have clue about how socialism and capitalism works.
Let’s see, give the bankers and insurance companies 700 BILLION DOLLARS because they failed!?! Thousands send faxes, emails, and make phone calls to try to stop Congress from doing it… We need to vote them ALL OUT — each and every one that voted FOR the wall street bailout, if we can. These are not the people we need to rebuild this country and take it back from the socialists!
My opponent, Representative JoAnn Emerson VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT, CASH FOR CLUNKERS, unbalanced budgets, NAIS FUNDING has all come through her AG Committee, TAX INCREASES, JOB DESTROYING TRADE AGREEMENTS, funding out of control regulatory agencies, and on and on!
Don’t be fooled again!
Most people are not aware of these facts, please pass this on to your friends. In my meetings around the district, I am finding even Republican committee people are not aware of these votes…

Dave Eberhart wrote an interesting article about Sen. John McCain’s appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” this weekend and revealed that he now regrets the Wall Street bailout.
McCain dropped a bombshell when revealing his thoughts on the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) that, among other things, green-lighted the federal government to bailout the floundering financial sector.
“What we’ve done, unfortunately, is we bailed out Wall Street, now they’re making billions, they’re making the deals, they’re giving the bonuses, and because they were too big to fail, we pumped – I don’t know, we still haven’t had a full accounting – into those major financial corporations and told financial institutions.”
In 2008 McCain voted for the TARP bailout, but now revealed his disappointment in how the bailout went down.
“We told them they were too big to fail,” McCain told King. “We told the guy on Central Avenue that just shut down his storefront that he’s too small to save. There’s something terribly wrong with that picture, and we were off on the wrong foot by bailing out these financial institutions instead of addressing the housing crisis. And Americans have figured it out and they’re very, very unhappy.”

Voters Just Don’t Know the Truth
This is obvious from the comment posted in response to The Daily Journal’s article: “Another challenger enters 8th District race” by g’s thoughts:
“Congresswoman Emerson DID NOT vote in favor of the Wall St. bailout. I would hope a congressional candidate would have their facts straight and not base their campain on half truths in an attempt to get the uninformed vote.”

Emerson Voted FOR the Banker Bailout Twice
I am finding out that most voters in the 8th district have no idea of these votes. As a matter of fact, I have discussed these votes with protesters carrying ”NO MORE BAILOUT” signs and they have no idea that these votes were cast and have said that Rep. Emerson would never have voted for a bailout.
Respectfully, they are wrong…
Sadly, the media is not reporting this and there have been no corrections from others that I have seen so far. I am forced to be the one to correct the record. Hopefully, many of you will help in the future to educate the voters of the truth.
Rep. Emerson has voted for the Banker Bailout [twice], Cash for Clunkers, Free trade deals that are destroying our JOBS here in America and on and on.
Please do everything you can to get this information out. If you can put a letter to the editor in your paper about it or send it to your email list that will be a huge help.
I consider these votes by anyone in either party to go against everything our country stands for. In America, we have a free market system and we should not shovel money to special interests, Big Bankers and Insurance companies!
These are not conservative or constitutional votes my friends!
You have a choice, a Representative that chooses to vote with the liberal agenda, or a person that will follow our constitution for a change…
Thanks for your help in setting the record straight!
