Kathryn Nance Takes Strong Position Opposing Obama Gas Tax Proposal

by ECT

Stockton police officer challenging extremist Congressman Jerry McNerney vows to oppose the President’s plan which would hurt working families by adding 25 cents to every gallon of gas to fund pork barrel projects for campaign donors.

(Stockton)-9th District Congressional candidate Kathryn Nance Friday announced her strong opposition to President Obama’s plan to raise gas taxes at the pump that would take money out of the pockets of every American family. His plan would also hit Central Valley farmers hard and threaten their ability to compete internationally. The plan is designed to give handouts to the President’s campaign donors in an industry with a history of wasting billions of taxpayer dollars.

“Jerry McNerney needs to state his position on this issue immediately and let us know where he stands,” stated Nance. “This plan is nothing more than a Robin Hood in reverse that takes money away from working families to give to Washington special interests that have funded my opponent’s campaign for years. If McNerney refuses to take a position or supports the President’s plan he will have clearly chosen special interest campaign donations over the people of the 9th District and the nation.”

Recent drops in gas prices are currently giving working families a break in paying their monthly energy bills and keeping the weak economy from going into recession. By raising taxes on energy, McNerney and Obama will kill thousands of good paying jobs in the energy industry while wasting billions on taxpayer funded projects that will be given out to those with political connections and take money straight out of the pockets of working families, seniors and farmers.

“The lower prices on gasoline are helping our families and farmers make ends meet in this weak economy,” continued Nance. “I am running for Congress to replace the McNerney/Obama agenda and will fight every day to protect our families from the hidden taxes, fees and regulations that McNerney has supported.

Kathryn Nance is a Sergeant with the Stockton Police Department and a candidate for the 9th Congressional District which includes San Joaquin, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties. To learn more about Kathryn, go to www.Nance2016.com.

This is a budget proposal. Nothing more. This proposal will never be accepted by the do nothing party which controls Congress and are rabid climate deniers.

However, the proposal does reflect our pressing need to move away from fossil fuels which Ms. Nance has yet to address. But, she won’t because she belongs to the Fossilized Republican Party.

The Democrats never saw a tax they didn’t like so they can buy all their growing list of socialist constituents all that “free stuff.” This isn’t Sweden, at least not yet. Socialism is great for a while, but like the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher once said, “Sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.” Greece, Spain, and Italy are recent proof of that. The “Bank of Germany” finally started cutting them off. Sweden had been inviting all the immigrants into their country as they could in order to finance all their “free stuff.” It has turned into a nightmare for them. Lefties actually need to get the facts, not the filtered news we get from our left-leaning news media’s propaganda to learn what is really happening in this world we all share.

is it not east county todays job to report news and not to be biased. let your readers make their opinions based on the facts, instead of calling someone who has not even voiced their opinion an extremist. also why must it be stated that a candidate is a police officer, do they have greater knowledge than a councilman or teacher or are they just another candidate with an opinion and an agenda. report the facts and let us make an informed decision.

ECT – Perhaps the headline could reflect when a post is a press release?

I recognized it for what it was, but I was born a cynic.

I have to disagree with Norm…I would call this a news and opinion site. It’s your sandbox and you can make the rules here.

Anon too…read tbru the whole article….it states its a,press release

Anon Too Feb 7, 2016 - 6:16 pm

I did read the whole thing…the heading under the photo is part of the release but it’s not clear that it is. What is clear is that Nance has no solutions, she just opposes everything McNerney says or does…in other words politics as usual these days.
