Theresa Barratt wrote a smart letter to the editor responding to Gerry Connolly’s distortions regarding Keith’s social security plan. Read below:
Keith Fimian “turns his back on seniors”? So says Congressman Gerry Connolly’s press release, but that’s not so.
Keith Fimian wants to protect the benefits due our seniors and keep Social Security solvent. When elected, he will try to save it by putting a stop to Congress raiding the Social Security trust fund to finance out-of-control spending and insure that the Congress keeps its contract with Americans.
Keith believes we need a commission, similar to the one in the 1980s, of elected officials, experts and stakeholders to have a seat at the table and a voice in the reform. Not a Republican solution, not a Democrat solution and definitely not a career politician solution. Please don’t be fooled by baseless charges. Keith Fimian has a strong commitment to serve everyone and a businessman’s background to know how best to spend our tax dollars.
Today is the deadline for Americans to file their taxes. Thousands of pages of complex code, billions of hours, and hundreds of billions of dollars later, the Federal government takes far too large of a bite out of the earnings of millions and millions of Americans. Join Keith's campaign to fix Washington by donating today.
Gerry Connolly shares a big part of the responsibility for what is going on in Washington. He has voted with Speaker Pelosi 97% of the time, and he hasn’t missed a chance to support her tax increases. That amounts to $670 billion in new taxes, including $316 billion on the middle class.
22,000 more initial jobless claims than the previous week. Connolly's answer: new taxes and nearly a trillion in spending
Keith Fimian, Republican candidate for Congress (VA-11) issued the following statement in response to Gerry Connolly’s support for President Obama’s health care legislation and efforts to force bill through Congress while the economy worsens
“With the news that initial unemployment claims have surged 12 percent nationally in the past two weeks, residents of the 11th District are asking why Gerry Connolly is still more focused on ramming a trillion dollar healthcare bill through Congress by any means necessary, rather than working to enact policies to put Americans back to work and get our economy moving again,” Fimian said.
