Defending Our Rights
Dear Friend,
Over the last few years there has been growing concern about the President's expansion
of executive powers. As a nation of laws, public officials are sworn to uphold the law . . . even
laws you may not like. The way to deal with laws you do not like is to get Congress or whatever
body passed it to change it. Real simple.
President Obama has, by executive order, circumvented national immigration law by ordering
a halt to deportations of certain unlawful aliens, without getting the law changed. In July of
2012, President Obama changed long standing welfare policy to allow states to change mandated work requirements.
Earlier he ordered the DOJ not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act. None of these orders were
submitted to Congress for review, which the Government Accountability Office concluded he should have
done in part. I have co-sponsored bills to reverse these unconstitutional power grabs and will
continue to fight them.
The President, touted by some as knowledgeable about our Constitution, acts as if he never heard of it sometimes. Now, the President and Vice-President are talking about enacting gun bans by executive order. To continue reading the rest of my op-ed click HERE.

Rep. Gosar Hits Back on Taxes
Recently, the Daily Sun published an editorial critical of my vote against increasing
taxes and increasing spending. The editorial suggested I should "hold my nose" and vote to spend more
money and raise taxes, while acknowledging that I "pledged not to raise taxes, so he scores points for
consistency."
I more than pledged not to raise taxes. I promised voters when I ran for office I would
not raise taxes. My word is my bond. Nobody likes politicians who promise one thing
during campaign season and then do another back in D.C. I intend to keep my promise. Click HERE

Nearly Four Years Without a Budget
This past Tuesday marked the 1,350th day since the Democrat-led Senate last passed
a budget. Families and businesses plan around a budget, and our government should do the same.
Obamacare
Malady of the Week: “Premium Rate Increases in the Double Digits”
We are already seeing some insurance companies increase their rates by more than 20%. These increases
are disproportionately affecting individuals and small businesses—those who are the backbone of
our economy. To jump start our economy we must ensure they are not taking the brunt of Obamacare. Click HERE
to read more about this increase.
