"We are engaged in a global war on terror...We must be prepared to respond to threats from anywhere in the world..."
US Fed News, 9/11/2007
|
 |
Boyda continued to abdicate her duty to protect the American people and instead play political games by voting repeatedly to block a vote on the Senate's bipartisan Protect America Act. (House Roll Call 116)
Boyda alienated herself 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 she supported a sham FISA bill in hopes of finding political cover from voters who are tired of her bobbing and weaving on the issue of national security. (House Roll Call 145)
Boyda completely abandoned her responsibility to ensure that our intelligence officials have all of the necessary tools to provide for our national security by allowing the terrorist surveillance program to expire, leaving Americans' security in serious jeopardy. (House Roll Call 48 and 53)
By blatantly blocking the renewal of the critical terrorist surveillance program, Boyda 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)
Boyda voted to jeopardize our national security when she sided with Pelosi's Democrat leadership to weaken our nation's intelligence laws and to reopen the terrorist loophole. (House Roll Call 1119)
This summer, Republicans were able to force a vote to close the terrorist loophole, but Boyda voted for the Democrats' FISA legislation which reverses this course and endangers our nation's security. (House Roll Call 1120) | |
Pork Spending

Boyda voted in lock-step with the liberal Democrat leadership to fund duplicitous pet projects over critical human intelligence. (House Roll Call 117)
Boyda voted to allow up to 54 secret earmarks to be airdropped into appropriations bills at the last minute, adding a half a trillion dollars in increased spending to these already massive bills. (House Roll Call 1044, 1061 and 1098)
Boyda voted to allow hidden earmarks to be tucked into the Democrats' SCHIP bill, despite her promise to be part of the "most open Congress in history." (House Roll Call 902) | |
| Killing Jobs |
| |
|
|
|
"Our independent businesses are hurting badly from high taxes and impossibly high healthcare costs. We must find ways of helping our Kansas small business with taxes and healthcare costs."

Boyda 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)
Boyda voted to impose a hefty tax increase on tobacco, which will severely burden low-income families and tobacco farmers. (House Roll Call 787)
Boyda refused to permanently repeal the onerous Death Tax, in effect voting for a $1.35 trillion tax hike. Boyda'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)
Boyda 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) | |
| Veterans' Issues |
| |
|
|

|
|

| No Access to Healthcare |
| |
|
|
|
"Today, one in six Americans lack health insurance, and millions more are uninsured & we need to improve the efficiency of America's Health care."

| Wrong On Energy |
|
|
|
|
"America has needed sound energy policy since the crisis of the 1970s and needs to reduce dependence on foreign oil."
|
|
Rep. Nancy Boyda (KS-02) and her 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, Boyda and her 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).
Boyda voted in lock-step with her Washington leaders for the Democrats' "No Energy" bill, killing jobs and increasing dependence on foreign energy. (House Roll Call 1140)

Rep. Nancy Boyda (KS-02) won?t be seen as a friend of the taxpayer this fall
after she voted for a record-shattering $3 trillion dollar budget that increases
taxes on Americans by $683 billion (House Roll Call 382).
Boyda 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)
 Boyda voted in lock-step with her 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)
Boyda 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)
Boyda voted to give federal handouts to illegal immigrants by voting to gut the requirements in the State Children's Health Insurance Program law, which requires states to verify citizenship before providing health benefits. (House Roll Call 787)
Boyda put partisan politics above the needs of troops and commanders on the ground by voting for a Democrat-sponsored bill mandating extension of troop deployments overseas. (House Roll Call 795)
In yet another example of Boyda's commitment to increase taxes on hard-working Americans, Boyda voted to allow yet another tax increase on homeowners. (House Roll Call 947)
Boyda voted to allow wasteful and unnecessary spending in order to add the word "safety" to the 41 year-old Federal Railroad Administration, wasting taxpayer dollars on administrative costs associated with changing the name of the agency. (House Roll Call 979)
Boyda voted to kill a measure to protect state marriage laws from being changed in a courtroom by trial lawyers. (House Roll Call 1056)
Boyda voted for a down payment on the "Mother of All Tax Hikes" when she supported the Democrats' package for $72 billion in tax increases. (House Roll Call 1081)
Boyda and her 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, Nancy Boyda is proving she cannot be trusted with this responsibility as she continues to play politics with our national security. Boyda 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).
Boyda and the Democrat leaders of the so-called, self-proclaimed "most open Congress in history," have closed the door on any possibility for amendments or debate on a series of appropriations bills. As a result, 54 never before seen earmarks were stealthily placed into various appropriations bills at the expense of important funding for our troops, our veterans and hard working Americans.
Boyda voted yet again in lock-step with the Democrat leadership to block a motion aimed at protecting housing for America's homeless and disabled veterans. (House Roll Call 714)
 Boyda failed to protect children in school when she 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)
Boyda can't seem to help herself when it comes to paying back Big Labor. This time, Boyda voted to defeat a motion to restore $2 million to the office responsible for investigating union corruption. (House Roll Call 642)
Boyda lined up once again with the Democrat Leadership to make it easier to raise taxes on the American people. She 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)
Boyda 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)
Boyda voted against full funding for the construction of the border fence as mandated by Congress. (House Roll Call 490)Boyda voted to defy military commanders on the ground and cut off funds for the troops in harm's way. Boyda's vote to ration funding for the troops allowed for a two month funding allowance that would accelerate the Democrat slow bleed strategy. (House Roll Call 333)
Disregarding an important component of the Civil Rights Act, Nancy Boyda voted against legislation that would fully protect the rights of faith-based organizations that administer Head Start programs. (House Roll Call 284)

Boyda voted against a measure that would have eliminated taxpayer-funded small business grants for convicted felons including sex offenders, kidnappers and others. (House Roll Call 224)
Within the first 15 days of Democrat-control of Congress, Boyda sided with her 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)
Delivering another big win for Big Labor, and another punch against working Americans, Nancy Boyda also voted to expand the scope of Davis-Bacon for the first time in over a decade, imposing a potentially bankrupting mandate on small business owners. (House Roll Call 135)
Ignoring widespread criticism from the American Legion and major news publications from across the country, she made it clear that she believes politicians in Washington can better execute the military's mission than the commanders on the ground.
Boyda voted to turn over United States homeland security protections to the United Nations. (House Roll Call 14)
Boyda voted to restrict seniors' access to life-saving drugs as well as access to their neighborhood community pharmacist. (House Roll Call 22)
