Tolls across NJ Are Going Up 50%! Why?
Grab your wallet! On January 1, 2012 tolls will be going up 50% on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway! This drastic toll hike is a new tax created by Jon Corzine on the way out the door to fund the ARC Tunnel into New York City. Gov. Christie canceled the ARC Tunnel project, but the toll hike is still taking effect!
A bill was passed in the Senate last February to stop the job-destroying tax, but Assembly Leader Joseph Cryan (D-20) stopped the bill without it even making it to the floor for a vote. Assemblyman Cryan reportedly wanted the money to fund more government make-work jobs - at your expense! Now, already overtaxed New Jerseyans will also be paying some of the highest tolls in the nation!

In order to push through his radical agenda, President Obama has abused his executive power and used the long arm of regulatory agencies like the EPA and the FCC to bypass Congress and the stated will of the people. At the same time, the Obama Administration has squandered hundreds of millions of dollars on “green” energy schemes like the failed loan guarantee to now bankrupt solar manufacturer, Solyndra, which has left taxpayers on the hook for more than half a billion dollars!
The $535M Solyndra Solar Scam!
California-based solar panel manufacturer Solyndra was headed for bankruptcy -- yet, the Obama Administration gave them a $535M guarantee loan anyway. Why? Because wealthy Obama donors had ties to the company. But now the company has gone belly up, costing 1,100 people their jobs and leaving taxpayers holding the bag! CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE

The NLRB Ignores Congress to Push Forced Unionization!
Big Labor bosses tried to get Congress to pass card check which would have taken away a worker’s right to a secret ballot when voting on whether to unionize. But that hasn’t stopped President Obama. The President is stacking the National Labor Relations Board with SEIU lawyers to accomplish what he and his union cronies couldn’t in Congress: forced unionization. CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE

The FCC’s Illegal Push to Regulate the Internet!
While the rest of the economy stagnates, the Internet has been an oasis of innovation and job growth. But President Obama and his cronies at the FCC, led by Chairman Julius Genachowski, are determined to take it over. That’s why last year, on a 3-2 vote, they jammed through new rules allowing this renegade bureaucracy to begin regulating the Internet...all without the consent of Congress! CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE

Obama’s EPA Rams through Global Warming Regulations!
President Obama’s idea of a cap-and-trade scheme was soundly rejected by the American people. The Senate never even brought it to a vote. Yet, that hasn’t stopped the Obama Administration. Through the EPA, they are manipulating a 1970 law to back door cap-and-trade --- forcing you and me to pay the price in the way of higher electricity prices and higher food prices!
