It's time to once again expose John Gard for the pathetic liar that he is. His latest ad blasted Steve Kagen for voting 8 times against more oil drilling. However, when implored to back up his claim, his campaign published this on his website. A few minutes of research shows just how pathetic John Gard is.
Roll call 553 - Conaway amendment - had nothing to do with a broad lift of the offshore drilling moratorium and part of the Interior appropriations bill. LIE!
Roll call 391 - Procedural vote on the reauthorization of Amtrak. Nothing about oil even mentioned. LIE!
Roll call 578 - Seeks to add a new title to the bill which spells out requirements for an effective date based upon certification related to domestic energy policy. Nothing to do with new restrictions on oil exploration. LIE!!
Roll call 405 - the NASA reauthorization act. LIE!!!
Roll call 577 - An amendment to prohibit use of funds in the bill to PREPARE OR PUBLISH FINAL REGULATIONS regarding a commercial leasing program for oil shale resources on PUBLIC LANDS or to conduct an oil shale lease sale. Passed with the help of 27 Republicans. I will give Gard the benefit of the doubt on this one. However, why can't the shale development be done on land not owned by the government? It just shows that Gard doesn't give a rip about our national parks and forests.
Roll Call 52 - motion to adjourn on Feb 13 - not even close on this one Gard. Liar!!! I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one but no votes were even taken on 7/25/2008 so you lied again.
Roll Call 547 - Providing for consideration of H.R. 1338, the Paycheck Fairness Act. Not even close on this one either! Lie!!!!
Roll Call 526 - Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 5501) to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 to provide assistance to foreign countries to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, and for other purposes. LIES LIES AND MORE LIES!!
All I really have to say is WOW!!! John Gard is a complete idiot with no knowledge of the legislative process. He is INCAPABLE OF TELLING THE TRUTH!!!! I don't know what else to say other than that we need to send Steve Kagen back to the House. Even with only 2 years of experience as a legislator, Kagen has already demonstrated that he is more intelligent, more honest, and more connected to the citizens of northeast Wisconsin. In this election, the choice is a no-brainer.
