URGENT - Support Jean Schmidt on Tuesday

We save our strongest endorsement possible for Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. Schmidt is perhaps our best elected official. No Republican does more than Jean Schmidt to stand for the values we support - higher taxes, higher spending, and strict party discipline.

Tom Brinkman has spent his political life battling tax increases. As a State Legislator he voted against all tax increases and has even urged no votes on some local tax increases such as Issue 27 and several CPS levies. Our Chairman George Vincent has worked hard to make us the party of higher taxes and we can help him continue this progress by making sure people like Brinkman don't hold office.

The differences between Schmidt and Brinkman are huge. Schmidt recently stood up and supported Issue 27 while Brinkman campaigned against it and helped defeat it. Schmidt supported Bob Taft's Sales Tax hike, Brinkman voted against it. Schmidt voted for Bob Taft's Gasoline Tax hike, Brinkman opposed it. Schmidt voted to raise hotel taxes in Hamilton County and she doesn't even live here; Brinkman voted against it. Schmidt supports earmarks, Brinkman pledges to oppose all of them.

We are so proud of Jean Schmidt. She stands for everything we stand for. We at Republicans for Higher Taxes unanimously give her our strongest endorsement for re-election.
