Former Republican State Party Chairman Jim Rappaport has announced his support for Marty Lamb for Congress (Marty is running against Jim McGovern in the Third Congressional District in Massachusetts). <\/p>\n
According to the press release from Marty Lamb’s campaign:<\/p>\n
\n“We need more business leaders serving in Congress. That’s why I am supporting Marty Lamb. He is the only candidate, Republican or Democrat, running who has signed the front of a paycheck and created jobs. Marty knows first-hand the burdens the federal government places on small businesses and how mandates are job killers,” said Rappaport.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Speaking of the actions of our current Congressional leaders, Marty Lamb stated:<\/p>\n
\n“As a small business owner, I never sign a contract before knowing what is in it. But yet Congress passed the national health care mandate without fully understand its costs or impact on our economy. That’s wrong,” said Lamb. “At a minimum taxpayer will have to fund $1 trillion to pay for Obamacare. Where is the money gong to come from? Taxpayers? China?”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Marty Lamb’s plan on spending (called the Lamb Chop Plan) includes items that all American taxpayers are concerned about:<\/p>\n
\n1. Instituting a balanced budget amendment
2. Passing a Line Item Veto
3. Limiting government spending to rate of inflation (TABOR)
4. Hiring freeze for all non-essential employees
5. Paying off the national debt
6. Moratorium on new entitlements
7. Establishing a Sunset Committee
8. Ending off-budget expenditures
9. Prohibiting bailouts
10. Taking back unspent TARP funds<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nI need to mention that I have been working for Marty Lamb’s campaign since he began gathering signatures. I have never worked on a political campaign before, but I felt as if it was time to get involved and to support people who understood how small business works. I have been very impressed by the people I have met who are also working on the campaign and the fact that I am not the only person who has not been involved in a campaign before. Marty Lamb’s campaign is truly ‘grass roots’, and I believe he has a good chance of defeating Jim McGovern in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
