Baca's Taxpayer Funded Campaign Flier

Like most voters in the 43rd, I received my taxpayer funded campaign newsleter from Congressman Baca this week. It is interesting that during the month of August he couldn't find time to meet with his constituents, but he had time to spend our money to tell us all of the wonderful stuff he "did" for us.

But Mr. Baca, you try to credit the Obama/Democrat stimuls plan for getting money for the 215 freeway widening. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that project started well before the so-called stimulus bill was voted on? And where exactly are the 8,000 new jobs that were created on the 215 project. I drive that road almost every day and I haven't seen anywhere close to 8,000 NEW workers.

And where are the 52,000 new and saved jobs that you said would be a result of the "stimulus"? Last time I checked, unemployment has risen since the "stimulus" and in the Inland Empire it is now around 15%. With a little more "stimulus" from you guys, we might actually reach Depression Era unemployment!! Thanks for the help. It seems that about the only place that the Obama plan has stimulated is government jobs and Czars who hate America.

It is also interesting to note that under your "Pork" Spending section, that 42% (6 out of 14) of your pork projects were done in conjunction with other House Members. And of the $83+ million dollars of pork, over $70 million came with the help of these other house members. And $35,000,000 went towards textbooks and supplies that probably went all across the country and very little came to the 43rd. So you like to brag about "bringing home the money" and yet you seem to be able to bring home very little by yourself and about 1/2 of it didn't even come to our district. Thanks for the help in wasting our tax dollars!
