Heritage Action put our money where our mouth is and launched $50,000 worth of radio ads in the districts of four members of the House Agriculture Committee: Rep. Mike McIntyre (D), Rep. Frank Lucas (R), Rep. Martha Roby (R) and Rep. Rick Crawford (R). The ads accuse members of “putting a tuxedo on a pig” by “bankrolling President Obama’s food stamp agenda” under the guise of a farm bill. Heritage Action is serious about divorcing the food stamp program, which comprises nearly 80% of the bill, from the farm bill. Inside the BeltwayWith Congress in recess, Heritage Action is working on overdrive to keep House Republicans’ opposition strong on the Internet Sales Tax. Thursday, our lobbying team reinforced our resistance to the Internet Sales Tax with a briefing attended by over 80 House staffers and notable members of the press. By emphasizing the burdens caused by the bill, Heritage Action challenged attendees to ask their bosses if they could call themselves conservatives if they voted in favor of the bill, switching the tone of this ongoing debate. Outside the BeltwayHeritage Action launched a new series titled “Sentinel Stories”. Posted on our blog, The Forge, these stories will highlight conservative activists and combat the liberal media’s unfair and harsh treatment of conservative across the county. We believe it is important to know that this army is composed of patriots like Octavio Sanchez, who lawfully immigrated to the United States for a shot at the American Dream. Read Octavio’s full story on The Forge.
