FISHER CALLS ON CONGRESS TO STOP THE INSANITY

H.R. 1586 Rewards Fiscal Mismanagement, Special Interests

(Salisbury) – Republican small businessman and Eastern Shore native Rob Fisher released the following statement on passage of H.R. 1586:

"Today Congress voted to waste billions more taxpayer dollars in a brazen attempt to score political points in an election year. I am appalled but not surprised that Nancy Pelosi, Frank Kratovil and the Democrat Congress are yet again pandering to special interests at the expense of the American Taxpayer.

At a time when Americans are imploring their elected representatives to stand up and lead us out of this economic turmoil, Pelosi and Kratovil continue to turn a deaf ear to the will of the people. They insist on pursuing a job-killing agenda that threatens to leave us in financial ruin in order to reward the special interests that got them elected.

H.R. 1586 is a blatant payoff to unions and a bailout for states that have grossly mismanaged taxpayer dollars. Taxpayers want to know: When will the madness end? The American people deserve accountability and are demanding action that benefits everyone, not just big Democrat contributors. This legislation contains no accountability and does nothing to improve the financial well-being of the thousands of residents in Maryland’s First District that are struggling to provide for their families.

Instead of bailing out unions and rewarding irresponsible governing, Pelosi and Kratovil should be working to improve the lives of every American. As schools are preparing to open, thousands of Marylanders are worried about providing clothes and supplies for their children and yet Pelosi and Kratovil are more concerned about PAC dollars and political payoffs. The people of Maryland’s First District deserve better. It’s time we elected a representative who will stop the insanity and bring common-sense leadership back to Congress."
