Job Application

By Bob Giuda, on Jul 20, 2010

On September 14th, the first step of a two-part “national hiring process” will take place. Voters will go to the polls in our statewide primary to select the candidates that will represent them in the general election. On September 14th, you will choose the candidate to champion the things you believe are vital to our nation’s future.

At a time when we are at war, when the legislative process is broken, when spending and taxation are rising at unsustainable levels, our country needs people in Congress who will make the tough calls on wasteful, needless  and harmful legislation and spending. The best way to determine whether someone can make those calls is with a proven record of performance that is consistent with the things we believe. I am the only candidate in this race with that record.

At a recent speech, I asked the crowd, “Which candidates do you want managing your finances, laying requirements on the operation of your business, and determining the future for your family? Because they will.”

The Road Ahead

By Bob Giuda, on Jul 9, 2010

It is said that “Truth is the first casualty of war.”

America is on the brink of economic ruin, and her fundamental principles are under a concerted assault by this administration and Congress. America’s Strategic National Priorities – Fiscal Policy, Energy Policy, Foreign Policy and Congressional Ethics Reform – are not being addressed.

Here’s why I call these four areas “Strategic National Priorities.”

  1. The interest on our national debt (a debt which will grow by 1.4 TRILLION dollars next year) is piling up at A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY.
  2. Our dependency on foreign oil delivers A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY to OPEC.
  3. Our war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq ring up at HALF A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY, not including the cost of thousands killed, wounded and maimed in unimaginably terrible ways. I know about our casualties. I have visited Walter Reed and wept with these incredible heroes – men and women shattered in the service of our country.
  4. Payoffs, kickbacks, bribery, coercion, and intimidation – with ObamaCare as the penultimate example – are normal tactics in the conduct of business in Congress. The atmosphere of corruption has destroyed the trust of the American people in government.

More on Obama-Care

By Bob Giuda, on Jul 6, 2010

There seems to be some confusion regarding my position on Obama-care.  Let me clear the air.  

As I have stated in writing and in numerous speeches, Obama-care is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed in our nation’s history.  I will support any repeal effort if elected to the US House.  

Repeal for repeal’s sake, however, gets us nowhere.  We need a longer-term strategy to ensure we actually accomplish something.  The fact is, we simply do not have the votes in the US House and Senate to make a repeal effort successful and will not have the votes in 2011.
