SERIOUS ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY?
Chris Carney, who currently serves on the Homeland Security Committee, has publicly stated on his campaign website that "America needs to be serious about our homeland security." www.carneyforcongress.com
Yet, When he had a chance to take a stand against corrupt behavior, Carney voted behind-the-scenes to allow FBI bribery suspect Congressman William Jefferson to sit on the Homeland Security panel and have access to top US secrets.

| Wrong On Energy |
|
|
|
|
"Our over-dependence on fossil fuels puts our national security and our economic security on the line. America needs a long-term, sustainable energy plan."

 |
Carney and his Democrat leaders have failed to reveal their
secret "commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices." In the
face of a slowing economy and soaring cost of living, Carney and his fellow
Democrats rejected a call to force Speaker Pelosi to tell the American people
how she plans to relieve their pain at the pump (House Roll Call 211).
Carney voted for $6.5 billion in new taxes on American energy producers. Voted for higher energy prices for American consumers. Voted to stifle domestic energy production. And voted to increase America's dependence on foreign sources of energy. (House Roll Call 40)
Carney voted against a measure which would have required that
all energy bills be certified to prevent higher energy prices for
consumers. Carney also voted to allow for a
reduction of domestic energy supplies and an increase in foreign energy dependence. (House Roll Call 578) | |
| Killing Jobs |
| |
|
|
|
"Small businesses are the growth engine of the American economy. Out of control healthcare costs are strangling the entrepreneurial spirit of American business."
www.carneyforcongress.com |
|
Carney 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)
Carney 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) | |
| For Tax Hikes |
|
|
|
|
"Chris will fight for tax cuts that provide real relief for our working families."

Chris Carney 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).
Carney voted for the largest tax increase ever, supporting a devastating $683 billion tax increase, tens of billions of dollars in new wasteful Washington spending and rejecting any reform to solve our nation's entitlement crisis. (House Roll Call 141)
Carney 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)
Voted to raid the wallets of the middle class, saddling taxpayers with a $400 billion tax hike -- the largest tax increase in American history. Voted to reinstate the marriage penalty, resurrect the death tax, and eliminate the child tax credit. (House Roll Call 212)
Carney 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)
Also within the first 15 days of Democrat-control of Congress, he sided with his liberal leadership, voting for a $6.5 billion tax hike -- the first tax increase in 13 years. (House Roll Call 40)
As the Wall Street Journal put it: "This is a lengthy, complicated bill, but the central idea is simple: Raise taxes..." (1/16/07)
Carney lined up once again with the Democrat Leadership to make it easier to raise taxes on the American people. He voted against a motion which would have prevented the IRS from implementing or collecting any new tax increases that the Democrats try to pass. (House Roll Call 605)
Carney 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)
Carney voted to impose a hefty tax increase on tobacco, which will severely burden low-income families and tobacco farmers. (House Roll Call 787)
In yet another example of Carney's commitment to increase taxes on hard-working Americans, Carney voted to allow yet another tax increase on homeowners. (House Roll Call 947)
Carney refused to permanently repeal the onerous Death Tax, in effect voting for a $1.35 trillion tax hike. Carney 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)
Carney 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) | |
