Liberal Tom Cole's Constitutional Conservative Opponent

Tom Cole has been labeled a liberal do to his liberal voting record. Recently he has sent out a series of advertisements on television and radio calling for there to be less spending, and a congress that listens to the people. Well Representative Cole didn't listen to the people when they asked for him to vote against TARP, or when they said that they do not want funds to go to the number one provider of abortions in the U.S., Planned Parenthood. So why should we believe that Tom Cole is sincere? We shouldn’t!

Tom Cole has a true conservative opponent who will act on the "promises" that Tom Cole continues to tout, but fails to follow through with. RJ Harris is a constitutional conservative republican and he WILL fight for our individual liberty and state sovereignty. On July 27th the vote is clear:

Tom Cole – More of the Same Big Government Progressivism
RJ Harris – Constitutional Conservative Representation with Transparency

Nancy Pelosi Challenger, John Dennis, Endorses Tom Cole's Opponent RJ Harris

“RJ is a unique candidate in the Republican Liberty Movement in that he is a serviceman, he has done two tours of duty in Iraq, he is currently being called up again, and he actually understands what it means to put your life on the line to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution.” John Dennis, Republican Challenger to Nancy Pelosi

You may watch John Dennis’ endorsement on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKkNby7nYdI


RJ Harris has provided an endorsement for John Dennis as well.

"I am pleased to announce my endorsement for fellow Liberty Candidate and Constitutional Conservative Republican John Dennis against Democrat bailout voter Nancy Pelosi for California's 8th U.S. Congressional District. John has proven his commitment to restoring the Constitution and the Republic, and it will be my honor to serve in Congress beside him. Together, and with the help of other Liberty Candidates who are currently winning their own elections around the nation, we will build a caucus to take on the big spenders in both parties, fight the current progressive-socialist agenda and restore constitutional governance to our Republic."

Debra Medina will speak on behalf of RJ Harris

Former Candidate for Texas Governor, Debra Medina, will speak for RJ Harris on Saturday, July 10

Former GOP primary candidate for Texas Governor, Debra Medina, will be making a guest speaking appearance for RJ Harris at Saturday’s “Meet Your Candidates” event. The event will be held at the Great Plains Technology Center, Bldg 100 (4500 SW Lee Blvd. Lawton, Oklahoma) from 10A.M. – 2P.M. this Saturday, July 10. RJ Harris has provided the following comment about the event.

“It is quite an honor to have a liberty candidate of Debra’s stature come to Oklahoma to speak on my behalf, while I am away training for my upcoming Afghanistan Deployment.”

Debra Medina has been described as a self-made businesswoman and nurse who learned self-reliance early on a South Texas ranch. Debra has dedicated a considerable amount of her adult life to the pursuit of public policy that promotes limited government and the protection of the freedoms and prosperity envisioned by our nation's founders. Most recently, Debra ran as a candidate for governor in the Texas Republican Primary. She manages a healthcare consulting firm and serves as the chairman of We Texans, promoting public policy and legislation that advances and protects private property, personal and economic liberty, and the legitimate role of the states and their citizens within the framework of constitutional government. Debra stands in strong support of RJ Harris as the next U.S. Congressman from Oklahoma's 4th district. While she's a strong advocate of state sovereignty, she also understands the extreme importance of electing Congressmen who will weigh every decision according to the guidelines of the U.S. Constitution.

Tom Cole - a democrat in disguise?

Tom Cole voted for the 700,000,000,000 Bailout Vote

Proof of Tom Cole’s Vote - HR 3997 http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=22428&can_id=46034


Tom Cole voted to give Taxpayers Money to Planned Parenthood

Proof of Tom Cole’s Vote - HR 4818 http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=8197&can_id=46034

This was part of an $821.9 billion spending bill; even higher than TARP! Under Title II – “Department of Health and Human Services” this bill provided $288,283,000 for family planning projects which funded Planned Parenthood. Tom Cole claims to be pro-life but how can he be pro-life if he has voted to fund Planned Parenthood? This bill, enacted in 2005, the same year that Planned Parenthood performed more than 264,000 abortions (The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission), was clearly a great friend of the democrats and pro-choice advocacy groups. Read the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commissions article on this bill for more information http://erlc.com/article/planned-parenthood-indictment-fuels-efforts-to-defund-abortion-providers/


Tom Cole voted for the Nancy Pelosi Sponsored Stimulus Package

Proof of Tom Cole’s Vote - HR 5140 http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=16935&can_id=46034

This was not only a spending bill, but it also perpetuated the coming mortgage crisis in the fall of 2008 by increasing mortgage limits for federal lenders (i.e. granted more credit for subprime borrowers). This bill was fully sponsored and co-sponsored by Democrats.


Tom Cole supports Federal Intrusion into Oklahoma’s Education – Support for Jimmy Carter’s “Dept. of Ed”

“I’d like to see No Child Left Behind get re-authorized. Many people are critical of it. But it’s been broadly successful. Test scores are up,” Tom Cole. This quote can be found here http://duncanbanner.com/local/x2138916023/07-political-reflections

HR 1388 – OBAMA’s GIVE ACT - http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=24251
Another bill sponsored and co-sponsored completely by Democrats.


Analysis

It is clear from studying just the few votes above, that Tom Cole is only a Republican in name and behaves as a Democrat. In fact, it is clear that Tom Cole has been a staunch ally to the Democrats since beginning his service in 2003. It only gets worse when you analyze Tom Cole’s financial sources http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=2010&cid=N00025726&type=I

"Republican" Tom Cole Attacks Steele and Defends Obama's War in Afghanistan?

Challenger to Tom Cole, a 19yr Veteran— who has been activated for the Afghanistan Surge – RJ Harris, has issued the following response to Cole’s call for Steele’s resignation and Cole’s support for Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy.

“We should not be surprised when Tom Cole, one of the Democrat's staunchest allies in the Congress, comes to Obama's aid as the President's inability to perform as Commander-in-Chief is called into question by GOP Chair Michael Steele. Clearly, the Chairman's comments have been taken out of context by the Left and its liberal/progressive allies in the GOP, to deflect from their collective lack of foreign policy leadership over the last decade. Putting conventional forces directly in harm’s way and making them easy targets for terrorists, who can now walk-to-work rather than expose themselves, has NOT made the Republic safer and has in-fact stretched the military, and the Republic's, limited resources past the breaking point. In all things, elected officials need to be good stewards of the people's resources; Chairman Steele was right to point out that what is going on in Afghanistan today is a giant example of Obama's waste of our blood and treasure due to political inexperience and lack of effective leadership. Of course, having voted for bailouts, stimulus and funding for Planned Parenthood, Tom Cole would know a thing or ‘three’ about government waste.”

RJ Harris has written extensively on constitutional foreign policy, the War on Terror, and the Battle in Afghanistan. Harris’s blog “What Would General George Washington do in Afghanistan; Lose the Battle, Win the War?” more fully addresses this issue and was published well before this current grandstanding attempt by Tom Cole.
