Democrats Have Two Decade History Blocking American Oil
Tragically, America sends over $700 billion every year to foreign countries – mostly in the Middle East – for our oil needs. Few people realize that just over 20 years ago, in 1985, 75 percent of the crude oil used in the United States refineries came from American oil fields – and only 25 percent came from abroad. Today, 70 percent comes from foreign sources, and only 30 percent is from domestic sources.

AP: Budget Deficit Twice as Big as Last Year's
"The AP reports that the budget deficit is about to double while under the new Democrat control. It’s no surprise.

Iraq War Update
Our media has not been reporting much of the successes over in Iraq lately. There are many important things the American people deserve to hear about our progress. You can count on the bad and discouraging news to be reported, but when it comes to any of our Nation’s success in Iraq the media fails to deliver. It is important you be informed about the progress of our soldiers in Iraq. Yes, it is not easy, but there has been a surge of recent results that Americans have the right to know about. In a recent column by Charles Krauthammer he cites what the media has neglected...

Another Government Program Made Bigger, and Less Accountable
Last week, the House Democrats passed H.R. 5749, Emergency Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 2008. This bill extends the unemployment benefits beyond the already 26 weeks of compensation payments. It also removed the 20-week work requirement meaning the extension of these benefits applies to those individuals who may have been working for merely two weeks. On top of all that, the Democrats violated their own pay-go rules by not paying for this new benefit...
