BARON HILL ALREADY BREAKING CAMPAIGN PROMISES



The Clear Cut Evidence
Killing Jobs



"By bringing Baron Hill back to Congress, Hoosiers will know that they'll have a tireless advocate for attracting new industry to Indiana. This will help existing small businesses grow and expand." www.baron2006.com Hill voted against the interests of America's small businesses and their ability to create jobs and provide affordable health care to their workers. (House Roll Call 17)

Hill cast a vote which would not only cripple the American mining industry, but also send American jobs overseas, increase America's dependence on foreign resources and undoubtedly endanger America's economic and national security. (House Roll Call 1032)

Tax Hiker



"Baron Hill has always been careful with your tax dollars and supported tax cuts to give more money back to middle class Indiana families." www.baron2006.com

Hill won't be seen as a friend of the taxpayer this fall after he voted for a record-shattering $3 trillion dollar budget that increases taxes on Americans by $683 billion (House Roll Call 382).


Hill voted against providing tax relief for over 20 million Americans, choosing the sham plan of raising taxes in order to cut taxes over putting more money in the pockets of hard-working Americans. (House Roll Call 1183)

Hill had the opportunity to pass an AMT patch free of tax increases, but voted with his Democrat leaders to kill it (House Roll Call 1152). Hill then voted in lock-step with his Democrat leaders to kill a clean AMT patch, instead voting for burdening tax increases that will negatively impact the competitiveness of U.S. businesses and the American economy (House Roll Call 1153).
Hill showed a commitment to raising taxes immediately after being sworn-in: His first vote elected Pelosi Speaker and his second vote made it easier to impose massive tax hikes on the American people. (House Roll Call 4)

Hill voted to impose another massive tax increase at the expense of America's hard-working farmers, threatening the jobs of more than 5 million American workers. (House Roll Call 746)

In yet another example of Hill's commitment to increase taxes on hard-working Americans, Hill voted to allow yet another tax increase on homeowners. (House Roll Call 947)

Hill refused to permanently repeal the onerous Death Tax, in effect voting for a $1.35 trillion tax hike. Hill's vote seriously jeopardizes family-owned business and farms, and destroys any hope for hard-working families to pass their livelihood onto future generations. (House Roll Call 959)

Hill voted for a down payment on the "Mother of All Tax Hikes" when he supported the Democrats' package for $72 billion in tax increases. (House Roll Call 1081)

Making College Affordable



"At a time when millions of American families are struggling to pay tuition bills, and millions more are being shut out of college all together because they cannot afford it... our rubber stamp Congress have made higher education even less accessible," Hill said. www.baron2006.com Hill voted against increasing college access and affordability for middle- to low-income students, against providing greater resources for Pell Grants, and against deficit reduction on behalf of taxpayers. (House Roll Call 31)









 

   

OUT OF TOUCH WITH INDIANA
 

Hill proved his loyalty to the trial lawyer lobby again when he rejected a proposal to protect firefighters who assist families in their community with the proper installation of child safety seats from frivolous lawsuits (House Roll Call 159).


By blatantly blocking the renewal of the critical terrorist surveillance program, Hill prolonged the Democrats' payback to trial lawyers who are filing frivolous lawsuits against the telecom companies who fulfilled their patriotic duty by aiding the government in terrorist surveillances in the aftermath of 9/11. (House Roll Call 73)


Hill voted in lock-step with his liberal Democrat leaders to kill a motion that would have permanently eliminated the onerous marriage penalty and extended the $1,000 child tax credit. (House Roll Call 83)

Hill voted in lock-step with the liberal Democrat leadership to fund duplicitous pet projects over critical human intelligence. (House Roll Call 117)

Hill alienated himself from not only the bipartisan group of U.S. Senators who strongly support the Protect America Act, but also the American public as a whole, and he supported a sham FISA bill in hopes of finding political cover from voters who are tired of his bobbing and weaving on the issue of national security. (House Roll Call 145)

Hill voted to jeopardize our national security when he sided with her democrat leadership to weaken our nation's intelligence laws and to reopen the terrorist loophole. (House Roll Call 1119)
Hill voted for a bill that is widely perceived as a giveaway to the trial lawyer lobby, allowing for an open-ended commitment for frivolous lawsuits in the workplace. (House Roll Call 768)

Hill and his Democrat leadership in Washington left town on Veterans Day weekend without passing a vital veterans' housing, healthcare and benefits bill.

The number one priority of Congress should be to protect the American people, but unfortunately, Baron Hill is proving he cannot be trusted with this responsibility as he continues to play politics with our national security. Hill voted in lock-step with her liberal Democrat leadership to weaken our nation's intelligence laws and to reopen the terrorist loophole. (House Roll Call 1120).

Hill failed to protect children in school when he voted against a motion which would have provided funding for schools to cover the fees to do background checks on teachers across the country. (House Roll Call 685)

Hill can't seem to help himself when it comes to paying back Big Labor. This time, Hill voted to defeat a motion to restore $2 million to the office responsible for investigating union corruption. (House Roll Call 642)

Hill voted to defy military commanders on the ground and cut off funds for the troops in harm's way. Hill's vote allowed for a two month funding allowance that would accelerate the Democrat slow bleed strategy. (House Roll Call 333)

Hill voted to turn over United States homeland security protections to the United Nations. (House Roll Call 14)

Voted to allow convicted felons to receive student loan benefits. (House Roll Call 29)

In a stunning payback to Big Labor for delivering hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions and a Democrat victory on Election Day, Baron Hill voted to strip away a worker's democratic right to a private ballot. (House Roll Call 118)


By voting for the Democrats $124 billion supplemental spending bill, Hill voted for legislation "stuffed full of pork," according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonprofit, nonpartisan government watchdog group. (House Roll Call 186)

In his first opportunity to put partisan politics aside for the sake of cleaning up the mess in Washington, Baron Hill went back on his word by voting to give John Murtha a pass on a significant ethical breach. Murtha threatened to cut off earmarks for not ONE, but TWO members of Congress who voted against a Murtha-sponsored project that has been deemed wasteful and a "boondoggle."
When he had another chance to take a stand against corrupt behavior, Baron Hill voted behind-the-scenes to allow FBI bribery suspect Congressman William Jeffersonto sit on the Homeland Security panel and have access to top US secrets.
