Mike Pence thinks you're Stupid

Message

Mike Pence has released a new online video who's purpose is obvious - he wants to portray himself to sixth district residents as a vision of what he wants people to think he is. His aim is to get voters to think about the image he presents to them, rather than looking at the truth.

Pence is proud of his eight year tenure in congress during the Bush years. The citizens of Indiana's sixth congressional district overwhelmingly agree with the rest of our great nation in expressing our relief at the nearing end of George Bush's reign. Good riddance, and on to finer and better government. A government that fits the original intent of it's founders - fair and equal representation of it's citizenry. ALL of it's citizenry, no matter their religious beliefs or lack thereof, their skin color, their personal values, or their socio-economic status! We've had enough deception, enough lies, enough of being sheep led by the wolves! Our people are ready to be REPRESENTED, rather than LED!

Compare this video from Mike Pence that he DOES NOT want you to see. The video is long, but at 4 minutes and 21 seconds into the link, Pence gives a clearly deceptive response. In his video release he wants us to think that he has integrity, but not telling the truth about where your campaign contributions come from is not integrity, at least not as Barry Welsh defines it as a pastor.

Look for yourselves and make your own decisions:

Mike Pence - "Congressman NO"

Alaskan Republicans may be losing "Senator No", but we need look no further than our own 6th Congressional District to find our own Hoosier version. . .

Indiana's 6th Congressional District:


Recent House Votes
Foreclosure Prevention Act - Vote Passed (272-152, 11 Not Voting)

The House passed this housing-recovery package.

Rep. Mike Pence voted NO......send e-mail or see bio

Mike Pence doesn't care if you lose your home or not.


Consumer Energy Supply Act - Vote Failed (268-157, 10 Not Voting)

The House failed to attain the two-thirds margin needed to pass this bill to release 10 percent of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Rep. Mike Pence voted NO......send e-mail or see bio

Mike Pence doesn't care what you pay at the pump. But he will fight hard for the interests of big oil.


National Highway Bridge Reconstruction and Inspection Act - Vote Passed (367-55, 12 Not Voting)

The House passed this bill that would help states and the Federal Highway Administration create a uniform inspection system for bridges and highways.

Rep. Mike Pence voted NO......send e-mail or see bio

Mike Pence isn't concerned about the safety of our bridges and highways.


In addition, Pence was one of 40 to vote against the GI Bill because the benefits to veterans was "too generous."

He voted against the Farm Bill then came back to the district and took credit for the Farm Bill!!

He voted against renewing Medicare Benefits.

Let's show Mike Pence that we do care about these issues by casting our votes for Barry Welsh!

A Message from Barry Welsh

An open letter to Congressman Mike Pence and the taxpayers of Indiana,

I am Barry Welsh, and I will be in a rematch with Congressman Pence in
2008 for the Indiana 6th District seat in The U.S. House of
Representatives. As a representative, the votes cast and bills
brought forward impact everyone across the nation, not just those in
the voting district, therefore I bring forth the question of Iraq.

Those that followed the 2006 6th District race know I had enough then,
and that position has not changed. The Iraq War and Occupation has
cost the tax payers of Indiana's 6th District over 725 Million
Dollars, which is in addition to the immeasurable price paid in loss
by our brave troops. If that 725 million dollars were in this
district instead of in Iraq, the property tax might not have been
forced to skyrocket, but as it is, the fewer dollars that come back to
the state from the federal level, the more dollars the state must
raise on it's own.

This country should have remained focused on Afghanistan and capturing
Osama Bin Laden, and that focus should have remained clear, but
instead this country was lead into Iraq, and it is time to put the
focus back upon Osama Bin Laden, where it should have been since
9/11/01.

The British withdrew from Basra and violence dropped, it is not a hard
lesson to learn.
The excuses for staying in Iraq are running out, as is the patience of
'We the People'.

The question is simple; Congressman Pence, what date will you set to
end your support of the Occupation of Iraq? The people deserve to
know when you have had enough. If the answer is 'never', the people
deserve to know that as well.

Sincerely,

Barry Welsh
2008 Indiana Democratic Congressional Candidate
