PATRICK MURPHY ALREADY BREAKING PROMISES



The Clear Cut Evidence
No Access to Healthcare



"Patrick believes that access to quality health care is a basic human right, and that it's long past time that the United States joined every other industrialized nation in ensuring health care security for all Americans." www.murphy06.net

Murphy voted to cut Medicare benefits for seniors, ration government-run healthcare and raise taxes to pay for the massive bureaucratic expansion.  (House Roll Call 787)
 
Voted to restrict seniors' access to life-saving drugs as well as access to their neighborhood community pharmacist. (House Roll Call 22)
 

Murphy voted against providing affordable health care to uninsured working families. (House Roll Call 10)

Deserting Troops



"I will do everything in my power to ensure that our troops, our veterans and their families receive all of the support and benefits that they have so bravely earned."

Patrick Murphy voted to adjourn the US House of Representatives for a two week Thanksgiving recess, blatantly neglecting to pass a critical housing, health care and benefits bill for our nation's veterans and troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. (House Roll Call 1113)
 
Murphy 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)
 
Murphy voted for the Pelosi-Murtha "slow bleed" scheme to choke-off funding for American troops in harm's way. (House Roll Call 186)
Corruption Hypocrite



"Patrick Murphy's plan for ethics reform cleans up the corrupt system in Washington and brings government back to the people."
www.murphy06.net

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

 

In his first opportunity to put partisan politics aside for the sake of cleaning up the mess in Washington, Patrick Murphy 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." (House Roll Call 402)
 
In a stunning payback to Big Labor for delivering hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions and a Democrat victory on Election Day, Patrick Murphy voted to strip away a worker's democratic right to a private ballot. (House Roll Call 118)
 

When he had another chance to take a stand against corrupt behavior, Murphy 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.
