(Sharron Angle)<\/em> – Can anyone beat a powerful senator like Harry Reid? <\/p>\n

Tsunamis are powerful. Harry Reid has been a national tsunami. His blind support of: President Obama’s stimulus programs, cap-and-trade proposals, bail-outs, and the take-over of the health care industry, are a disaster for our nation. The unemployment rate is wavering at or above 10%, the housing industry has effectively collapsed and economists are predicting a double-dip recession. <\/p>\n

With the election results from New Jersey and Virginia, the enthusiastic Tea Parties and Capitol Hill protests, the answer has to be a resounding “Yes!” <\/p>\n

“Reid is actually vulnerable to a strong candidate like Sharron…” – Tahoe Bonanza 4-15-09<\/p>\n

I am not asking you to “Read my lips” I’m asking you to “read my record.” <\/p>\n

That record is posted on my website www.sharronangle.com. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n

In 2004, I was awarded the Ronald Reagan Medallion for Courageous Client by the Claremont Institute for my fight to restore the 2\/3 legislative vote to raise taxes. My attorneys, Dr. John Eastman and Ed Meese, took the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

As the Minority Whip in 2003, I lead 15 fighting Republican legislators against the largest tax increase in the history of Nevada through one regular session and two special sessions.<\/p>\n

I am known for my consistent and numerous “no” votes on tax and fee increases and poor public policy. I have earned a reputation even with my detractors as the lower taxes, less government regulation Reagan conservative.<\/p>\n

In 2007, after I retired from my office as Nevada State Assemblywoman, I requested, lobbied for and passed five pieces of legislation that defended our constitution. Home schooling bill SB 404 passed as a model for freedom of choice in education law in the nation.<\/p>\n

In 2008, I sponsored the Nevada Property Tax Restraint Initiative for the ballot as Question 5 that collected over 80,000 signatures across the state.<\/p>\n

You may have questions about the Republican primary on June 8. That race can be simply stated in a few sentences.<\/p>\n

At this time there are 12 candidates in the race for Nevada’s Senator, 9 have no experience.<\/p>\n

John Chachas – A Wall Street banker who does not live in Nevada and has no elected office experience.<\/p>\n

Danny Tarkanian -A lawyer who lost two previous elections and has no elected office experience.<\/p>\n

Voters have been lied to before by politicians that “run right” and “vote left” once they are elected. Actions speak louder than words.<\/p>\n

There are 3 candidates who have had legislative experience:<\/p>\n

Mark Amodei – A lawyer and term-limited State Senator who voted for the 2003 largest tax increase in Nevada history.<\/p>\n

Sue Lowden – A one term Nevada State Senator who donated thousands of dollars to elect Harry Reid in the past.<\/p>\n

Sharron Angle – A small business manager, former teacher and Four-term Nevada Assemblywoman who has a reputation for being a consistent fiscal and social conservative.<\/p>\n

As Pat Toomey, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania said in 2006, “Sharron Angle has a stellar record of opposing higher taxes in the Legislature, in the courts, and on the ballot…In all, she has voted against dozens of tax and fee increases in the Legislature.”<\/p>\n
