Rep. Martin Heinrich: GOP Wants to Take Our Country Back ... to the Bush Agenda

Democratic Rep. Martin Heinrich (NM-01) spoke at this week's DFA-Democracy for New Mexico Meetup in Albuquerque, covering many topics in his remarks and in his answers to questions from the audience. This is a clip of one of my favorite -- if chilling -- parts of his talk.

Rep. Heinrich describes the kind of awful agenda the Republicans -- like his opponent -- would pursue if they regain control of the U.S. House. As Rep. Pete Sessions has admitted publicly, if John Boehner succeeds in becoming Speaker of the House with a Republican majority, he will attempt to reinstate the Bush agenda -- completely and exactly. The GOP wants to do things like privatize Social Security, weaken Medicare and repeal every single part of health care reform. Could anything be worse for the country?

Take three minutes of your time to watch this clip, and then think about what's at stake. Please do what you can to support Rep. Martin Heinrich's reelection campaign and the entire Democratic ticket. Like now.

Republicans want to take our country back -- to the Bush era. Democrats will continue working hard, despite rampant Republican obstructionism, to take our country forward, IF they get a chance to do so. It's incredibly important that we get the word out about what will happen if Dems don't get out to vote on election day or if too many people fall for the empty rhetoric and vicious, dishonest attack lines of Republican candidates this year. It's up to every one of us to make sure that doesn't happen.
