Fiscal Conservatives for McDonnell:
"As a fiscal conservative, I am deeply concerned about the state of our economy. Our strength as a nation starts at home, where free enterprise, American ingenuity, technology and hard work are the keys to our economic future. Our economic recovery is going to require a sustained and focus effort by the President, the Congress and all 50 governors. Bob McDonnell and I agree that a competitive America is one where taxes are low and government works smarter and more efficiently for its citizens, creating an environment where businesses can prosper and jobs grow. Right now, there are two issues that concern me. The first is “card check.” Workers deserve to make the choice about whether to unionize through a private ballot without fear of intimidation. The Democrats’ plan to take away those rights is an insult to the dignity and common sense of working people. And it would be calamitous for the economy. It would stifle productivity growth in existing businesses. It would throttle new business start-ups. Small businesses of 10 or 20 employees would have to hire human resources people and engage labor lawyers. I can think of nothing more devastating to the future of America’s economy than card check. Bob McDonnell agrees on this one – card check is a threat to our economy. The second issue has to do with energy independence. For too long, America has been dependent on foreign suppliers of oil. Our military and economic strength depend on becoming energy independent, and that means we need to pursue ample domestic sources of energy, including all the renewable sources and off-shore drilling. Bob supports all of our energy options, including drilling, which will create new jobs for Virginia residents.
Bob McDonnell understands these are critical priorities and that building a stronger Virginia starts with sensible policies that will encourage economic growth and job creation."
