Failure to Lead 2.0
Written by on March 08, 2010, 11:05 PM
Once again, our Congressman Jason Altmire, the self-styled “expert on health care” has offered nothing but equivocation and political posturing, refusing this past weekend on Fox News Sunday to disclose whether he would vote for the Senate Bill that Pelosi and Obama are now pushing. This bill, as passed by the Senate last December is loaded down with obscene special deals for favored constituencies, including the “Louisiana Purchase” and the special deal for Nebraska.
NOT included in this legislation are already existing protections against taxpayer funding of abortion, which are supported by 70% of Americans. These protections have been in place for decades, and pro-abortion advocates are using the Senate Bill to attempt to force American Taxpayers to fund a practice of which they overwhelmingly disapprove. Congressman Altmire claims to be Pro-Life, yet over and over again his votes do not match his words.
Western Pennsylvania deserves better. We deserve someone who is not afraid to lead and who will put the interests of the people over the interests of Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. I look forward to taking on that challenge.
