My Top 3 Issues
Just How Bad Is Melissa Bean?
You're A Democrat - You Be The Judge!
Here is her record on a wide range of key issues. Ask yourself this question:
"Does she truly represent my values as a member of the Democratic Party?"
Many loyal Democrats do not realize how bad her record is. See for yourself.
When she first ran for office in 2002, before the invasion, she came out in support of the war. Public opinion was about 80% in favor of the war at that time.
Since taking office in 2005, she has voted every time to keep giving Bush a blank check for the occupation, and has voted against every bill to end the war.
She cast the deciding vote for CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement), putting big corporations over workers, the environment, and human rights.
She votes for every "free trade" bill, pocketing bundles of cash for her campaigns.
She voted for an unfair bankruptcy "reform" bill that can turn hard-working families into indentured servants to banks, credit card companies, and other big lenders.
She voted for the Bush tax cuts for wealthy campaign contributors, and for killing the tax on large estates, contributing to record deficits and gutting key programs.
She voted against "net neutrality" -- she wants big business to control the Internet.
She voted for the "Patriot Act" renewal, with its secret search and seizure powers.
She voted for the Military Commissions Act that allows secret arrest, secret trials, and no habeas corpus rights, for anyone the administration chooses to single out.
She voted for a Flag Desecration Amendment that undermines freedom of speech.
She voted for the Terry Schiavo bill that intruded on family privacy and the courts.
She voted for the Bush/Cheney energy bill written in secret by industry lobbyists.
She gave billions in taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies, which reaped billions in record-breaking profits while motorists saw gas prices shoot up to record highs.
She voted for an Association Health Plans bill that would have undercut state law protections for consumers, overriding them with lower uniform federal standards.
The big insurance companies supported it. Citizen watchdog groups opposed it.
She voted for the Sensenbrenner Bill that would punish undocumented immigrants with criminal felony prosecution, while wasting billions on a giant boondoggle wall.
She voted for the Real ID Act, which requires a national identity card for everyone.
She voted for every bloated Pentagon budget proposed by the Bush administration, running up record deficits while cutting back funds for social programs at home.
She is even pushing a crazed plan to spend billions on arming civilian airliners with non-existing missle defense systems as her pet project for defense contractors.
These are not the votes of someone who puts people over profits. These are not Democratic votes. Randi will give you true Democratic representation. She will put people first in everything she does.
Melissa Bean "is proud to run on her record of accomplishment" -- Brian Herman, spokesperson.
