Lincoln Davis Conservative....... Not By His Record

Three things about Lincoln Davis everyone needs to know before early voting begins.

Rep. Lincoln Davis lately claims himself to be an “independent conservative.”

The truth is Lincoln Davis is a loyal supporter of Nancy Pelosi’s radical liberal agenda voting with her 94.9% of the time according to the Washington Post Voting Database.

Rep. Lincoln Davis n a recent ad states, “Now we must reduce the debt and support small businesses that create jobs...”

The truth is Rep. Davis’ consistent support for the Obama-Pelosi agenda, including a vote for the Obama Budget that increases the debt and raises taxes on small business, demonstrates the level of hypocrisy his campaign has reached. He has along with pelosi and obama increased the National Debt, increased the deficit and raised taxes on small business owners along with creating more and more expensive paperwork requirements.

Rep Lincoln Davis says “we must stop bad trade deals that cost us jobs.”

The truth is with his support of the Obama Stimulus, Rep. Davis has already done more than his fair share of destroying the job market here in America. That law has failed in every measure to grow the economy and has actually shipped jobs overseas.

When you vote remember that a vote for Lincoln Davis is a vote for the obama and pelosi agenda.

What Happened At Southside?

It seems there was a fire at Southside Elementary School last week that wasn't "significant enough" to evacuate the children. It seems that it was "significant enough" for the Fire Department to respond to it, so why was there no drill or evacuation of the building? Was there someone at the school with the qualifications to determine that there was never any danger for any student or school personnel? Why hasn't there been anything about this on the radio?
Is this another of those "little" things that if they are ignored they don't exist? Would this not have been a perfect time for a fire drill where the children and staff could have experienced evacuation under real circumstances? Oh well, maybe the next fire will be "insignificant" also.
