Hold Dems accountable for actions with vote

Throw out the Democrats for not listening to us, for spending us into debt, ruining our economy and risking our national security. This is a call to get out and vote against progressive policies driving this county toward ruin. We have seen a collapse of our financial system as the government drove greed, incompetence and failure. Government agencies funded and continue to fund irresponsible behavior cheered on by ideologues, left-wing politicians and the media.
The Democratic Party in control of Congress denigrates average Americans who have stood up and said we disagree. They hide in secret, creating thousand-page bills that no one has read, written by staffers who no one knows or holds accountable. Democrats failed to produce a budget but are willing to spend and spend some more even though the American people are yelling “stop it.” Democrats passed a health care bill that does not control costs, violates our liberties and brings ruin to our health care system.
Democrats promote illegal immigration.
The Democrats left Washington without addressing the economy, leaving millions without jobs or addressing the spiraling debt. Democrats have left all of you to face the largest tax increase in history on Jan. 1.
I am not promoting Republicans. If the Republicans do not listen, we will throw them out next time. Now it is time to teach Washington a lesson and vote the Democrats out of power for their failures. Vote Republican.
