Spotlight on Missouri's 4th District (SPIKE IKE!)

There is a lot of talk that Ike Skelton can't be spiked from office this November.  People say Ike is too powerful (Chair of the House Armed Services Committee), too senior (34 years in Congress), too rich (raising big money) ... and that we should not waste our time and resources on defeating him.  This same defeatist rhetoric was said about Jack Brooks (TX-9) in 1994.

Who is Jack Brooks?  Brooks was the was the most senior Representative to have ever lost a general election.  He served Texas for more than 40 years.  At the time of his defeat, he was powerful (Chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary after having served as Chair of the House Committee on Government Operations), very senior (40 years in Congress), and very, very rich (known as one of the richest men in Congress, having acquired a number of banks and other businesses during his years in office).  Interestingly, he was in the motorcade carrying President John F. Kennedy when Kennedy was assassinated and famously photographed aboard Air Force One when Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as President.

If the powerful, senior, rich, and famously photographed Jack Brooks could be defeated in 1994, then Ike Skelton can surely be defeated in 2010.

VOTE THEM OUT!!!

We have identified 50 congresspersons in the United States House of Representatives who must be voted out of office on November 2nd because they furthered the radical left wing agenda in 2009 against the interests of their constituents.  We identified these congresspersons based solely on their 2009 voting records and the historical voting patterns of the congressional districts they represent.

These 50 earned a place on our list because ... 

(1) they voted for at least 2 of 3 bad bills (Stimulus, Cap-and-Trade, and Obamacare) last year, and 
(2) they represent a district where McCain received at least 45% of the vote in 2008.  A few others (Bean, Driehaus, Foster, Kildee, and McNerney) made the list even though their district bucked historical trend by only supporting McCain with 43 or 44% of the vote (below our 45% threshold)

In Honor of Super Bowl XLIV ... Some Tough Talk From "Must Go" Baron Hill (IN-9th)

In honor of Super Bowl XLIV, we want to remind folks about "Must Go" Baron Hill from Indiana's 9th Congressional District (voted yes to every bill bill, including the one last week to increase the national debt ceiling by $1.9 trillion, while representing a district that gave McCain 59%).

Let's hope the voters deliver this Congressman a "remember me" hit in November like New Orleans Saints Defensive Coordinator Greg Williams promises to deliver to Peyton Manning tonight.
