The Democrats picked up quite a few seats in the House of Representatives this past election. In fact, they gained 20 seats this year, giving them 255 seats while the Republicans hold only 175. They also gained six seats in the U.S. Senate, giving them 57 seats total – only three seats away from a filibuster-proof supermajority. And we all know what happened in the race for President.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi now have an incredible amount of power, and I’ve heard some pretty scary things about how they plan to use it. Let’s start with the Fairness Doctrine. This legislation would allow the government to tell us how much of a certain political viewpoint can be expressed in the media. Personally, I don’t think we should sacrifice free speech for “fairness.” Then there is card check. This initiative would take away the right of a employee to vote in private on whether or not they want to join a union. Who knows the kinds of problems this could bring.
Whether or not you’re fired up about this election, a vote for Paul Carmouche is a vote for this agenda.
