PRESS RELEASE – Tea Party of Louisiana Drafts

JEFF LANDRY to run for Congressional Reelection Seat

January 19, 2012 For Immediate Release

BATON ROUGE - The Tea Party of Louisiana (TPoL) drafts Congressman Jeff Landry to run for reelection and pledges its support for Jeff to once again be the Congressman from the 3^rd District of Louisiana.

TPoL spokesman Bob Reid stated, “We feel that Jeff Landry offers the best opportunity to voice our opposition to the status quo in Washington, and that he is clearly the best advocate for reducing the size of government, reviving our economy, and restoring the power to We the People. We have drafted Jeff because he will continue to represent the best interests of Louisiana not the self-appointed “ruling class” in Washington. Jeff does not engage in Washington gimmicks like the politicians who recently voted to disapprove of the current debt increase after they voted to give the President the authority to raise it in August. Rather, Jeff stands up for fiscal responsibility and always fights for our future generations, without worrying about the next election."

Reid went on to say, “Jeff Landry speaks for us on many issues like fighting to repeal ‘Obamacare,’ reducing the size of government, fighting deficits & wasteful spending, ending bailouts & stimulus plans, opposing ‘Cap & Trade’ type legislation & taxes, getting the government off the backs of small business, and out of the lives of everyday citizens. We need more Americans & Congressmen like Jeff Landry to step up and help restore America to its Constitutional roots in our joint efforts to help bring about a Government governed by the people.”

“Our country is at a very critical point in time. Pivotal decisions will be made by the next Congress that could change the course of our nation’s history and this election may be one of the most important our country has ever held. Jeff Landry has clearly demonstrated he is the people’s choice and we need him to represent us in Washington,” Reid concluded.

TPoL is a non-profit, non-partisan group with members all across the state. TPoL is dedicated to working to restore constitutionally based, limited government at the federal, state and local levels.

August 8, 2011 PRESS RELEASE - For Immediate Release

REID for Tea Party of Louisiana: Don't Be Fooled — Debt Deal Means

More Spending, More Debt and More Taxes

“Now that the deal to reduce the government deficit has passed,” says Bob Reid, spokesman for the Tea Party of Louisiana (TPoL), “the American people are still going to get more spending to the tune of $10 Trillion over the next 10 years; more Debt increasing the current debt of $14.3 Trillion to $16.7 Trillion for 2012 with more to come as the government is now borrowing 43 cents for every dollar it spends; and tax increases with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts (i.e. a direct tax hike on Americans to the tune of $ 5 trillion or more debt of $ 5 trillion). “

“There’s certainly a lot of blame to go around” added Reid, “but the media is responsible for not explaining in simple terms to the American public what the Congressional Budget Office and these politicians are trying to make complex with their accounting and ‘baseline budgeting’ terminology and ‘make believe’ cuts!”

“Anyone wanting to tell you there are significant spending cuts in this piece of legislation is not telling the truth. An example of real cuts would have been to just freeze the current government spending level to this year’s level for the next ten years and you would have had a real $15 trillion in savings of future government planned increased spending with a corresponding reduction in deficits. No, this legislation does absolutely nothing to affect the rate of government growth; in fact it funds the Obama left-wing agenda that the American people unmistakably vetoed in last November’s elections. Nothing in this legislation is making government smaller at all!” Reid emphasized.

“In fact,” added Reid, “I believe this deal will help continue the economic decline in America and will give Obama the perfect argument to call for more spending and government programs to create even more government jobs and union-type stimulus ‘infrastructure’ jobs. We’ve now seen what the bond rating agencies’ verdict has been; they told us we had to cut $4 trillion in federal spending or face a credit downgrade, and when we presented them with a plan which fell well short of that number we reaped the consequences.”

“There are no cuts in spending now or next year and no reduction in the size of government. The Tea Party’s only victory has been to heighten public awareness of just how bad our debt problem really is. We cannot rely on the mainstream media to accurately provide the bottom line effects of policies and legislation, so it is up to the Tea Party and Republican Conservatives to continue to inform and support candidates and legislation for real fiscal reform because, our children’s future is at stake,” concluded Bob Reid.

Government Gone Wild!!! See and hear for yourself how much money

these Bureaucrats are making off our tax dollars! You will understand

clearly why the politicians will not talk about real spending cuts

and shrinking government.
