2010 GOP Victories

Across the nation and throughout Missouri, millions of Americans stood up for freedom and against Barack Obama’s big government policies. In race after race and state after state, overwhelming Republican victories serve as both a repudiation of the Democrats failed agenda and a call to return to responsible, common-sense solutions that will create jobs, jumpstart the economy, and rein in a national debt that is threatening our future.

After months of secret backroom deals and arm-twisting, Nancy Pelosi pressured enough Democrats into forcing massive, costly, and ineffective government-run health care onto an unwilling nation.

Cap-and-trade

Cap-and-trade is a massive hidden energy tax that will crush Missouri families, farmers, and businesses. In fact, the Wall Street Journal called it the “biggest tax in American history.”
