- Who is Robert Blaha?
Robert is running to unseat Congressman Doug Lamborn in the June 26th Republican primary.
An articulate champion for conservative values, Robert knows that citizens in his 5th Congressional District have had enough of career politicians, and so he’s bringing his business expertise and conservative common sense to secure a better future for our children and grandchildren.
- Jobs and the Economy
Although it is not the government’s role to create jobs, it is the government’s responsibility to set the tone for job creation – and to ensure a fair playing field.
Our current Congress has failed.
- Spending
The biggest threat to our nation is the streak of red-inked budgets – funded by loans – that have resulted in a whopping deficit of almost 16 trillion dollars. This irresponsible spend-today, pay-tomorrow behavior must stop now. Congress must take serious action and make the tough decisions to cut the federal budget and live within our means as a country.
- Taxes
At one time the entire United States tax code could be held on one small shelf; now it fills more than two bookcases.
This illustrates how cumbersome and invasive our tax codes have become – despite so-called reforms in recent decades.
It’s time for true tax reform. Overhaul and simplify the system now!
