PHOENIX, AZ – With Congress on a week long break, Randy Pullen, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, suggested to Arizona’s two freshmen members of Congress that they stop with the useless political rhetoric from the DCCC playbook and start actually doing their jobs and pass meaningful legislation when they return to Washington.
“Gabrielle Giffords and Harry Mitchell may have joined their fellow Washington Democrats in supporting the liberal fringe of their party, but they have done little to address the real issues facing Arizona and America,” Pullen said. “The American people have made their opinions quite clear: the Democrat-led Congress has the lowest ratings in the history of congressional polls. The Democrats’ have done little since taking power other than engage in political rhetoric and partisan attacks. Unfortunately, the victims are the people who elected them.”
Since taking control of Congress in January, Democrats have worked overtime to appease their far left constituencies. They:
• Promised to address and fix the rising gas prices, but have done nothing to address the problem. Since Democrats took over Congress, gas prices have gone up, not down.
• Tried to force and early retreat from Iraq and delayed funding to our troops.
• Supported the addition of pork spending on non-combat related items to the Iraq funding bill.
• Supported stripping away privacy rights and the right to a secret ballot in the union formation process.
• According to the NRCC, Gabrielle Giffords has voted with liberal Speaker Nancy Pelosi an astounding 96% of the time, while Harry Mitchell votes with her 90% of the time.
“With all the bad Democrat legislation and support for Nancy Pelosi and her extreme liberal agenda, Arizonans and Americans are much better off when Giffords and Mitchell are on vacation and away from Washington,” quipped Pullen.
