Congressman Paul Broun, Jr. wants Washington to decide how our money is spent - 2/15/2008

ATHENS, GA - Bobby Saxon, candidate for Georgia's 10th Congressional District, released the following statement in response to Representative Paul Broun, Jr.'s vote against the President's tax relief package, signed into law on February 13.

“Once again, Dr. Broun has demonstrated that he is out of touch with our district and our values, but what should we expect from a congressman who continually votes against our children. President Bush's tax rebate plan will return hundreds of dollars to the average Georgia family at a critical time for our nation's economy. Our congressman, however, seems more concerned with self-promotion rather than supporting fiscally responsible policies in the form of healthy tax relief.”

“Now is the time for taxpayers to be spending more of their own money as opposed to having the government spend it for them. When I'm elected, I'll fight for refunds when they're needed most, and ensure that our tax dollars are spent in the most intelligent and responsible ways possible.”

Bobby Saxon is an Iraq War combat veteran and the owner of an ACT! software training and consulting company that focuses on the technology needs of small businesses. Bobby grew up in Oconee county and now lives in Nicholson, GA. He is a Major in the Georgia Army National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon. Bobby attends Bethany United Methodist Church, is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2872 in Athens, GA, the American Legion, Post 56 in Jefferson, GA, and a life member of AMVETS post 10 in Athens, GA.
