A message from Paul Gosar

America at the Crossroads: Following Freedom
Dear Friend,
On my last eNewsletter I asked everyone whether they thought federal welfare spending was too high. I wanted to share the results of that survey with you. 


86% of survey takers believe the Federal Government spends too much on welfare.

Alexis de Tocqueville famously wrote of America that “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”  Last week, it was reported by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service  that welfare spending in the United States has jumped 32% in the past four years.  Federal government spending combined with total state spending on 83 different welfare programs totaled an astounding $1.028 trillion in 2011.
America is at a crossroads. Will we continue our current trend towards fiscal collapse? Or, do we pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, reduce the size of government and the role it plays in U.S. citizens’ everyday lives, and allow our great nation to regain its posture in the world?  Please read more here.
The Truth on Libya was in a White House Inbox
 
On Wednesday, Reuters  news service obtained emails that showed the Obama Administration knew within hours of the deadly September 11th attack in Libya of an Islamic militant group taking credit for the act of terror.

These emails contradict the Obama Administration’s initial claims. The American people and the families of the victims deserve the truth about who knew what, and when they knew it.  
 
Co-hosting the D.R.E.A.M. Job Fair
 
This week, I co-hosted the D.R.E.A.M. Job Fair at the High Country Conference Center in Flagstaff. This event was part of the national Disability Rehabilitation Employment Awareness Month to bring local job-seekers and nearly 50 employers together.  
 

 The D.R.E.A.M. Job Fair had a great turnout. To see photos

Arizonans are resilient, creative and hard-working, and I want to thank everyone who participated in this event to empower our local economy.

Fighting for Water in Flagstaff
 
On Thursday, Mayor Nabours of the City of Flagstaff and I enjoyed glasses of water from the city's newly fixed Inner Basin drinking water pipeline. If this pipeline was not repaired and the city continued to experience drought conditions, the city would have been faced with potential water rationing.

It was a pleasure to work alongside the City of Flagstaff as we coordinated with the wide variety of federal and state agencies to fix this water pipeline.  
 
Discussing the Need to Repeal and Replace Obamacare
 
Doctors realize the devastating effects Obamacare will have on our health care system if it is not repealed and replaced.
 

Congressman Gosar recently talked about the need to repeal and replace Obamacare with doctors at a Sleep Apnea event.
 
Let's take the right steps to ensure that both a doctor’s sacred relationship with his or her patient is not severed and that Americans can continue to receive timely care.

Rep. Gosar Named Champion of National Security
 
I was honored to receive the Champion of National Security Award from the Center for Security Policy. I received a score of 100% and I tied for best in the Arizona delegation.  
 

In Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the founding fathers empowered Congress to: “Provide for the common Defense…"
 
The government’s core responsibility is that of national security—to defend from all threats, both foreign and domestic. I will continue to carry out that responsibility for love of country and of freedom.
