Rick Torres for Congress 2010

Video: Rick Torres on Socialism v. Capitalism

Old Greenwich Friends,

Please take a moment to view my latest video on the evils of Socialism and the virtues of Capitalism.


As you may know, I have twice suffered under socialist regimes. First as a child under Fidel Castro in Cuba and then again upon my return to Bridgeport when I lived in public housing. I have a keen ear to tyranny and I know that we must act now to stop it.
I ask that you please watch my video on socialism. If you believe that I am a strong warrior for freedom, property rights, and our liberties I implore you to please support my Campaign.

We are 14 days away from the primary and my big government opponents can sense that we are gaining momentum. In these final days I need your financial support of at least $50 to ensure that we can effectively get out the vote.
Your financial support of at least $50will get us closer to our goal of raising an additional $10,000 to get out the vote. Our polling indicates that we need roughly 10,000 votes to win this primary. Your support of $50 or more will allow us to reach more than 60 registered Republican voters by mail to remind them to vote for me on August 10th..
With your financial donation today I know that we can defeat my big government Republican opponents. If we let them win then voters in my district will have two big-government choices on the ballot in the fall. I am willing ready and able to defend our natural rights in Washington, but I need your financial commitment in these final days to help me do so.


Sincerely,

Photobucket

07/22/10 Congressman Jim Himes' Hypocrisy On Spending

Dan Debicella points out actions speak louder than words

Below is a statement from Dan Debicella regarding recent backpeddling by Jim Himes and his startling record promoting out-of-control spending.

From Dan Debicella:

“As an incumbent beholden to Washington insiders, Jim Himes has been feeding government from the all-you-can-eat buffet. Now, with an election approaching, he is showing a sudden interest in the dollar menu.


This is yet another example of Jim Himes’s hypocrisy. You can’t vote for a 22% increase in discretionary spending and then talk about cuts three months before the election. It’s too little too late and it doesn’t fool voters in Fairfield County.

The first place this commission should look to cut spending is by repealing programs that Jim Himes has already voted for that have launched spending to never-before-seen levels.

One more do-nothing political committee is not the answer and I believe there is a better way. I propose a hard spending cap that will force politicians of both parties to make tough decisions about how tax dollars are spent and an end to political earmarks that simply reward politicians for voting with party insiders. We need to get serious about cutting spending.”

The true Himes record. In his first term in Washington, Jim Himes:

· Voted YES on the trillion-dollar stimulus.

· Voted YES on one of the largest one-year increase in federal spending since the Carter administration.

· Voted YES on the ‘most fiscally irresponsible budget in American history.

· Voted YES on raising the debt ceiling in order to bring on $2 trillion in new debt.

· Voted YES twice – on the trillion-dollar government takeover of healthcare.

Dan Debicella is the Republican Party’s nominee to face Jim Himes this November.

Debicella is a second-term Republican State Senator representing the eastern part of Fairfield County, including Shelton, Stratford, Monroe, and Seymour. He grew up in Bridgeport where his father was a police officer and his mother was a secretary. He was the first in his family to go to college full time, attending the Wharton School and receiving his MBA from Harvard Business School. He has spent most of his career in business, having worked for management consulting firm McKinsey in Stamford, as Director of Strategy at PepsiCo in Purchase, NY, and currently as Assistant Vice President of Marketing at The Hartford Financial Services.

In the State Senate, Debicella has served as the lead Republican on the budget-writing Appropriations Committee. He recently co-authored a budget proposal that cut the size of Connecticut government by 5% through combining or eliminating agencies, privatizing social services, and resetting program spending to 2007 levels. Debicella also led the fight against the budget that ultimately passed, which raised taxes by $1 billion and borrowed $1 billion to balance the budget.

The Fourth Congressional District comprises most of Fairfield County, including seventeen towns from Greenwich in the west, to Shelton in the east, and Ridgefield in the north. The seat was held by Congressman Christopher Shays from 1987-2009.
