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

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:

Parker states, ”The massive debt being accumulated in Washington is out of control. I would not have voted to raise the debt limit or approved of the 2011 Obama budget that funds Obamacare — as our current Representative has done. Enough is enough, America can do better!”

Parker put over 26,000 miles on his F150 Ford truck in the 2010 election and plans on logging many more miles in the upcoming Republican primary against Rep. Jo Ann Emerson. Parker is a rancher from Texas County. His website is www.electbobparker.com and he can also be found on facebook.

Republican Bob Parker standing by his Ford truck that he put 26,000 miles on during the 2010 campaign for Congess. He is getting ready to hit the campaign trail again in 2012.

Parker, who has been endorsed by the Tea Party, has spoken at many events across Southern Missouri with his message of cutting spending and restoring fiscal sanity back in Washington.

Parker explains “Enough is enough. America can do better. It seems the Washington professionals in both parties are just too ingrained with the special interests and refuse to listen to the people. As a businessman I know we are being regulated and trade dealed to death. It seems no one is really working for the little guy anymore. I want to stand up for what is good and right for America. We must have free markets. Let’s stop the bailouts and balance the budget and get to work putting America back to work.”

On Saturday June 26, 2010 concerned Americans will gather at 12:00 noon for a peaceful rally beside the South East River Campus parking lot by the North side of Highway 34/74 just west of the Emerson Memorial Bridge in Cape Girardeau. This bridge, a symbol of the greatness of America, unites the east and west in the very heart of America.

After a brief rally, patriotic American’s will walk across the Emerson bridge in a show of solidarity for freedom and calling for a return to Constitutional government in our nation. American’s that believe in the Constitution, as well as candidates are welcome.

Please bring your signs, American flags, and friends to proclaim that we will rise up in the upcoming elections and take our country back!

Bob Parker, event organizer and Candidate for Congress in Missouri’s 8th district explains, “It is time for Americans that are concerned about the direction of our country to join together. ‘We the People’ must rise up and take our country back by voting in the upcoming August 3rd primary and the November 2nd general election. America is at a crossroads, we must take America back to the principals of limited government and individual freedom.”

[Emerson/Gladney's picture is on the front middle. It's blurry, but it's her]

Rep. Jo Ann Emerson/Gladney is married to Ronald C. Gladney, who works for SEIU and AFL-CIO as a registered lobbyist! Please send this all across the 8th district so people can see that THEIR representative is still supporting these outrageous bailouts!

• Cash for Clunkers twice!
• Embryonic stem cell research twice!
• Free trade CAFTA that has destroyed our jobs.
