Dr. Stan Cooke VS Spencer Bachus

The Battle For Real American Values

The Republican Primary Election of June - 2010 will define the Republican Party in Alabama for years to come. At stake are real American values, lower taxes, less regulation, reduced Federal spending, smaller government, State’s Rights and the Constitution of the United States.

The differences between me and my opponent, Spencer Bachus, could not be more obvious. I have always been a true conservative Republican and I have never wavered from the American values that has shaped that political philosophy. Mr. Bachus on the other hand has a 17+ year record in Congress of claiming to be a conservative but voting like a liberal democrat. To prove this point, examine how Spencer Bachus sponsored, co-sponsored and/or voted for the following legislation.

1. Global Poverty Act - Cost To Tax-payers - $845 Billion Dollars. U.S. Dollars to be given to the United Nations. Co-sponsored by Spencer Bachus and Barack Obama.
