Rep. Allen West,R-FL;RedCounty.com
Greetings to our constituents,fellow Floridians,and all Americans,here we are for another weekly update. There is only one word that describes the past week:appalling.
It was appalling to hear the President of the United States truly threaten our nation’s senior citizens and Military Veterans/Retirees. Furthermore,the blatant lie that 80% of Americans want their taxes raised is beyond unconscionable.
I believe we are headed towards the ultimate ideological clash in America. There is a widening chasm which has developed between those who believe in principled fiscal policies and those desiring the socialist bureaucratic nanny-state. An unfortunate aspect to this is the complicity of a mainstream media which does not report facts,but rather ideological bias. This clash will determine the future and legacy of our Constitutional Republic.
I know who wins in the end,but it is going to be one heck of a fight.
This week the House GOP shall vote on a plan that will enable us to protect the full faith and credit of the United States but also tackle the long-term fiscal viability of our nation. The plan is summarized by the concept of “Cut,Cap,and Balance.” Our Congressional office issued a statement on Friday which explains the legislation,of which I am an original cosponsor –you can click here to view.
Neither I nor any other reasonable person wants to see the United States default on its debt interest payments and threaten a potential rise in our interest rates. I do not want to see my country devolve into the European situation played out in Portugal,Italy,Ireland,Greece,or Spain (PIIGS). However,now is the time to get our fiscal house in order by implementing spending control measures which will begin to turn around our economic ship of state…
The problem is,there is no confidence and certainty in the fiscal vision emanating from Washington D.C. and hence revenues and receipts are down. We are not setting the conditions or creating an environment for economic and job growth. For all of you,that is what has to change,and that is where I am committed to seeing change and not the empty rhetorical doublespeak of 2008.
I suppose the President forgot that 47% of wage earning households in America do not pay federal income taxes.
In the area of foreign policy,the United States has officially recognized the Libyan rebels as the “legitimate” government of Libya. Now,I am just a simple fella from down South,but I recall a previous Democrat President recognizing a bunch of undefined ideological zealots called the Taliban…and we all see how that ended up!
The voices of the American people who want sound fiscal,taxation,and regulatory policy need to be heard this week. I am issuing a “call to action” – let the White House,Nancy Pelosi,and Harry Reid hear how you feel. Are there REALLY 80% of Americans who want higher taxes?
I must confess,when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker,I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
