Your butcher, baker, dry cleaner, dentist, auto repairman, sandwich maker, pizza maker, ice cream shop owner, hair dresser, cell phone dealer, hardware store owner, chiropractor, hamburger maker, coffee shop owner, etc.

What would happen if you woke up one morning and the doors to these businesses were closed? You might think this would never happen. If Congress and U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean keep up their big government spending and tax hikes, this scenario could actually occur.

Small businesses now are fearful of more government regulations and higher taxes when Obama’s health care mandates and his cap and trade energy regulations take effect beginning in 2011.

Melissa Bean is against keeping the Bush tax cuts permanent that will expire at the end of 2010. The taxes of small business owners will rise to 39.6 percent, thus making these owners very cautious about hiring and creating new jobs.

When you have a headache, you take an aspirin. People in the 8th Congressional District have a huge headache – namely Melissa Bean. But don’s worry. There is a solution – Joe Walsh! Electing him on Nov. 2 is the best remedy for helping small businesses and getting our economy on the road to recovery.

Joe Walsh wants to repeal the Obama health care mandates and keep the Bush tax cuts permanent. He is totally against all of these big government bailouts that hurt small businessmen and prevent job growth.

Let’s keep these small business doors open! Next time you bite into that juicy hamburger, sip your cafe latte or text your friends on your cell phone, remember how these small business owners are suffering during this recession. Remember there is a remedy for this Obama/Bean headache – Joe Walsh.

Every day, the government is getting involved in parts of our lives that it didn’t used to and spending money it doesn’t have. This has gotten most of us pretty fed up, frustrated, scared, confused, and yes, angry. We’re not a “fringe group” as the media would have you believe. The vast majority of us has had enough with this change and is beginning to do something about it...

I want to help give a political voice to this anger and passion because I am part of it – I, too, am fed up, frustrated, scared, confused, and angry and I’m running for Congress to do something about it.  <READ MORE>

Sincerely,



(Grayslake, IL) – Critics of President Obama’s nearly $1 trillion stimulus program have pointed out that the stimulus has failed to create jobs while wasting taxpayer money. A new analysis of stimulus spending in Illinois’ 8th Congressional District supports that criticism.

According to the Obama Administration’s “Recovery.gov” website, during the past 18 months the stimulus bill has spent more than $226 million in the 8th district to fund 244 projects, while only creating 169.46 jobs.

Joe Walsh, the Republican nominee for the 8th district, commented, “If you do the math, you see that the Administration has spent more than $1.3 million per stimulus job! While American families and small businesses are struggling and making tough choices, Washington is wasting their money.”

Walsh continued, “The stimulus has failed. According to the Obama Administration, this bill created fewer than 10 jobs per month in our district – 80% of those were government jobs. Sadly, this stimulus is a bailout for state and local government that was never designed to help the private sector grow the economy and create jobs.”

Joe Walsh’s opponent, Rep. Melissa Bean, voted for the stimulus bill.

In a February 13, 2009 press release, Rep. Bean promised the stimulus bill would create jobs, saying: “This bold action is necessary to preserve and create jobs and spending.” Bean stated taxpayer money would be spent in the right place, saying the bill “puts money where it matters.” In a January 28, 2009 press release, Bean touted the recovery.gov website, saying it constituted a new measure “of accountability and transparency [to] track every dollar of spending….”

Walsh commented on Bean’s empty promises, “Melissa Bean promised the stimulus bill would create jobs. It didn’t. She promised our money would be well spent. It wasn’t.”

Walsh continued, “My campaign represents the voices of millions of Americans who believe we need new leadership in Washington. With the support of the people of the 8th district, we are going to win this campaign. When we do, we can begin to enact policies to promote private sector job creation – instead of pumping millions of taxpayer dollars into more government jobs.”
