Saxby OUT, Rogers IN?
Rumors are flying that Georgia State Senator Chip Rogers has been approached to challenge US Senator Saxby Chambliss in the Republican primary. It makes a lot of sense. Chip Rogers would bring the Republican Party back to its conservative roots. The difference between Chip and Saxby is night and day!
Immigration and Trade
Saxby Chambliss strongly supports an immigration policy that unfairly pits tax payer-subsidized immigrant labor against hard working American families.
Saxby also does the bidding of his globalist, corporate masters by falsely claiming we need more unfair trade, more outsourcing (to countries like China and India), and more immigration to:
- Feed a labor shortage (How can there be a labor shortage if wages are falling?)
- “Do the jobs Americans won’t do” (Americans have always done our nation’s work—for a reasonable wage.)
In truth the purpose of his immigration and trade votes is to drive down wages on behalf of his corporate campaign donors.
Chip Rogers has been a strong and consistent leader, fighting on behalf of American workers and tax payers for the enforcement of immigration laws and to secure our borders.
Out of Control Spending
Saxby Chambliss has not found a pork bill he did not like: from the Highway Bill with its Bridge to Nowhere to the Energy Bill that gave billions to oil companies away while gas prices soar. Saxby’s irresponsible spending has put America close to $9 trillion in the red. The General Accounting office has warned Saxby that his addiction to pork spending will bankrupt our country.
Chip Rogers has been very outspoken against Washington’s pork spending and has earned a reputation as a conservative spender in Georgia’s statehouse.
Education
Saxby Chambliss is a strong supporter of the scandal-ridden, pork-filled No Child Left Behind legislation. Any honest school administrator will tell you this Big Government program has failed our kids and driven school expenses way up. The only winners are corporate lobbyists (who buy support for the program though campaign donations).
Chip Rogers strongly supports locally-not federally-run schools.
Wake Up the Republican Party
If you support a return to real Conservative values, please:
- Let Georgia’s GOP leadership know you support leaders we can trust to support our interests, not the big-money lobbyists. Tell them you support Chip Rogers over Saxby Chambliss for the US senate. [info@gagop.org]
- Forward this email to your friends
- Write or call Chip Rogers to encourage him to challenge Chambliss [chip.rogers@senate.ga.gov -or- (770)516-0543 ]
UPDATE I: Click here to read the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s comments about this story.
UPDATE II: Chip Rogers responds (via Atlanta Business Chronicle).
Nancy Shaefer is lucky to have the seat she has in GA. I hope she does abandon it to run against Saxby, then we can be done with her at every legislative level.
Eagle Forum – Gary Bauer – Focus on the Family – conservatives – heartland people trust her, even her enemies salute her.
That’s some pretty high praise! However, I would still like to know where Chip Rogers stands on Gay Marriage.
James, re your post #52:
I wouldn’t lump Eagle Forum with either Gary Bauer or Focus on the Family. Eagle Forum is the Phyllis Schlafly organization and they are true blue pro America.
Gary Bauer and Focus on the Family have neo-con tendencies with their support of Israel over what’s good for America and the world.
James, while I’m against officially sanctioning Homosexual unions, I do believe we have bigger fish to fry!
John, re your support of Roger Hines in your post #44:
I agree with you. Roger Hines is one solid individual! I would support Roger also.
But with that said, I should point out that Roger supported the wrong candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Roger went with Ralph Reed, who I believe is near-evil, an establishment neo-con. While I liked and voted for Casey Cagle, my vote was more “againt Reed”. I would love to see Roger come out and say he was wrong about Reed.
And if anyone thinks I was too harsh in an earlier posting re Chip Rogers: Please understand I think the world of Chip and what he is doing. But I want to stay as focused as possible as to what is happening to our nation and who is weak and selling us out. While I know Isakson (and like him) and have met Chambliss, I’m gravely concerned re our nation. Isn’t that all that count?! Isakson and Chambliss have shown they are weak and must go!
