Why is Pat Tiberi stepping on your rights to birth control?

Looking back on the work of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, we can see that they have done nothing to improve your lives.  As an example, I give you Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12). 

Pat Tiberi voted for the Paul Ryan budget plan (see Roll Call Vote 277, 4/15/11), which would end Social Security and Medicare, and hand out vouchers to the elderly who would then need to go and shop for health insurance.  According to the LA Times, the elderly would end up putting more of their own money out for insurance under the Paul Ryan plan than if we just continued with our current programs.

Tiberi sponsored only 8 bills in this current Congress, and not one of them has been signed into law.  Are they too radical?

In an article posted at FoxNews, Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi takes the side of the clergy over the rights of women to have birth control.  I'm offended that Pat Tiberi thinks he speaks for women.  If 99% of American women have used birth control at a time in their lives, and 98% of Catholic women have used birth control, why is Pat Tiberi stepping on our rights to choose our method of birth control.  Why is Pat Tiberi involved in the Republican Party's war against women?????
 

Tiberi = Kasich

Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi has gained leadership positions in the Republican-controlled House despite the fact that he isn't really a leader.  Tiberi has always been a follower and takes his orders from John Boehner. Under Boehner and the support of the Tea Partiers, Tiberi has become more conservative in his views. Pat Tiberi's first mentor was..... John Kasich.  Tiberi worked for Kasich.

If you visit Rep. Tiberi's congressional website, you'll see this on his front page:

 

GOP Jobs Plan

Get the lastest news on the GOP plan to restore America's promise

Great spelling!

It doesn't matter how you say it, the GOP plan is a bunch of recycled, same old, tax cuts for the rich propaganda that the Republicans continue to resurrect because they haven't had a new idea in decades.  Here are a few of the key words from the "Republican Jobs Plan" from the What Our Plan Does page:

Reduce Regulations	Tax Code Reform	Free Trade	Patent Reform
Visas for the Highly Skilled	FDA Product Approval	Energy Production	Reducing the Debt

You must be saying to yourself, "I've heard all those words before from the Republicans." Frankly, I think the Republicans just change the title page of their plans, but they keep using the same old content.  They can wrap it in anything they want, but the Republican plan still stinks.

In summary, the Republicans are presenting the same old crap in their "jobs" plan:  cut regulations, give jobs away to highly trained foreigners, lower taxes for all the job creators/corporate big shots/millionaires, follow Republican Rep. Paul Ryan's budget and let the elderly deal with coupons and vouchers to get health care, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc.

According to a search for legislation that was sponsored by Pat Tiberi, there were only eight bills sponsored by him in 2011, and none of them have become law. Tiberi's sponsored bills listed at  Thomas:

1. H.R.749 : To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend the subpart F....
2. H.R.1031 : American Shipping Reinvestment Act of 2011...
3. H.R.1533 : Short Sea Shipping Act of 2011...
4. H.R.1955 : Children's Access to Reconstructive Evaluation & Surgery (CARES) Act of 2011....
5. H.R.2051 : Veterans Missing in America Act of 2011....

7. H.R.3123 : American Job Creation and Investment Act of 2011...
8. H.R.3661 : To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent and.....

If you look over the legislation sponsored by Tiberi you'll notice that there is not one bill to help the farmers in his district.  They certainly won't be helped by those 2 bills for shipping.

A website called the Tent of Abraham, provides the perfect analysis of Pat Tiberi's agenda in Congress:

I just sent the following message to Pat Tiberi, my Republican congressman: FYI, I just saw your interview on NBC4 and I want you to know, I don’t buy what you said. You are part of intransigent, intolerant, reactionary coalition of Republicans that is more committed to make Barack Obama look bad than in serving the interests of the American people. Your own Republican colleagues in the Senate signed on to the payroll tax extension but you pig-heads in the House thought this might be another opportunity to give the President a black eye.This one citizen in your district Pat Tiberi who is PASSIONATELY committed to defeating you in the next election. You are a Republican first and an American second.....

Bravo!!!!
