Rep. Jo Ann Emerson’s 2011 voting record. One of the worst in the Republican house!

Friends,
Here is a rundown of the voting record of Rep. Jo Ann Emerson. These votes are in 2011! I keep hearing we need to keep calling and writing so that Rep. Emerson will vote more conservatively. The record speaks for itself. The fact is she is one of the most liberal Republican representatives in Washington and Heritage Action’s scorecard proves it!

Where did you see ANY of these votes in our media here in the 8th district? I wish they would report the record. Most voters are unaware of how they are truly being represented. We must get control of our spending. Rep. Emerson has voted for TARP twice. Cash for Clunkers twice. Voted to bailout the Union Pension funds with YOUR tax dollars, and voted to kill and research embryo’s with YOUR tax dollars! I will continue to expose this big government/big spending record. You will have a choice in the upcoming August primary. I sincerely ask for your support. Let’s stop this and send Washington a strong message, we have had enough. Time to balance the books. Please send this record to your friends and contacts. I need your to help get the message out.

Sincerely,
Bob Parker

Republican candidate for Congress in 2012
Missouri’s 8th district

Take America Back!!

The facts below are found on Heritage Action Scorecard, part of the Heritage Foundation.

With each vote cast in Congress, freedom either advances or recedes. Heritage Action’s new legislative scorecard allows Americans to see whether their Members of Congress are fighting for freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society. The scorecard is comprehensive, covering the full spectrum of conservatism, and includes legislative action on issues both large and small.
Heritage Action’s legislative scorecard isn’t graded on a curve;  it is tough and we don’t apologize. After all, we are conservatives, not tenured university professors. [From Heritage Action scorecard] see:

I must say that running this campaign has been a challenge and we just have 3 months left to get out our message. To take on an incumbent of 14 years is a huge undertaking. I am a Tea Party style of candidate. I plainly say that BOTH parties are to blame for our problems. They have not followed the US Constitution and this has led to our huge problems we now face. Believe me, the last thing the big government Republican party bosses want is for me to win this race! The last thing the Democrats want is for me to win this race! We must cut spending, cut taxes, and cut regulations and return to a limited Federal Government just as our Constitution sets forth.

I have never shared what I am about to share, but I want you to know my heart, and my passion. I have watched for years as our government has ”gone global.” Our leaders have been putting Americans second and the interests of others first in many cases. I have seen our rural communities struggle and shrink, becoming more and more dependent on government handouts and ”programs” and ”grants”. We have shipped our jobs overseas and borrowed and printed money to take up the slack. Our leaders have failed us. We have been sold out. I am a Christian and I have not given up. I believe that God is raising up leaders from across this great nation to take our country back. Will you join me?

My faith is the number one thing in my life and has been since I became a Christian at age 18. That event transformed my life and instilled the values in me that helped me to succeed in life, and to speak out against injustice and oppression. I have stood on principal many times and have not backed down. I have no intention of doing that in Washington DC either. I want to fight for our God given freedoms, our right to life, our second amendment rights, property rights, and all the rest, before it is too late.

We have seen the growth of government at the expense of the private sector for years now. Do people realize that government does not produce anything? It just takes from those that are producing and gives to those that aren’t. That is why our founders wanted to keep government small. They understood this. Our leaders today don’t. Reagan’s quote of “government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem,” has never been more true.

Friends, we are losing our country right before our very eyes now. I am calling for you to help me take our country back. I am calling on you to join with my campaign to fight this battle for our very principals and values that have made America so great. I have been speaking around the 8th district for 10 months now. My map has more than 60 pins in it marking the places I have spoken or done radio shows. I have done a lot with a little. We can and must win this race in the 8th district. We must remove the Bailout, Job killing free trade, Clunker, earmark, embryo killing incumbent that has helped to cause the massive problems we now face.

Did you know Emerson voted for the repeal of Glass/Stegall that led to the current banking crisis? Did you know that Emerson was the LAST Republican to sign onto the bill to audit the federal reserve? Did you know Emerson has taken over $700,000 from the bankers the last few years? Did you know that in the last election about 80% of her funding has come from OUTSIDE the 8th district? Did you know that Emerson is married to Ronald Gladney, a union attorney and lobbyist? Did you know that she is one of the top abusers of Earmarks in all of Congress? Did you know many of these earmarks directly profit the Unions? Did you know she is rated #9 WORST on the RINO chart in the ENTIRE Republican house according to the National Review because of her voting record? Did you know in a recent survey by the Missouri Sovereignty Project Emerson rated a 2 and I rated a 43, the higher the score the better you rank. I was by far the highest ranked in the survey out of 22 Missouri candidates. No one talks about the constitution and Missouri Sovereignty more than me.

Finally, I need your financial help to educate voters in the 8th district about who I am, and who I am running against. I desperately your help right now to print campaign materials and signs, not to mention any advertising. In most campaigns the special interests fund them and the candidates tell you what you want to hear and then go to Washington and work for the special interests. That is not how my campaign works. I depend on people like you for funds. Can you send me $20 bucks? Can you send more? I have raised over $12,000 so far and have about $3,500 on hand now. I need to print 4×8 signs, 100 signs will cost $3,000. I have hundreds of letters to send out now, not to mention advertising and radio ads and newspaper ads. As you can see, we need money. We must educate the voters about who I am, and who their Congresswoman is and how she has been voting.

Please send a generous donation to our campaign to take this country back.

Please pray for our country and also for me and my family. Pray that God will keep us safe, and that we will prevail in the August 3, 2010 primary race, and then in the general election in November against Tommy Sowers, who loves Obamacare and is proudly saying it will be a good thing for America! I say, REPEAL IT!

Because America and your freedom are too precious to lose,
