Brown: Eight Years of Barack Obama Have Brought Us Eight Years of Failed Leadership

"It's time for new leadership in Washington, D.C. in order to get our country back on track"

WASHINGTON - Indiana Third Congressional District candidate and Indiana State Senator, Liz Brown, issued the following response to President Barack Obama's final State of the Union address:

"Eight years of Barack Obama have brought us eight years of failed leadership, and the American people have suffered as a result. The President would like us to believe, as he attempted to present in his final State of the Union, that he is leaving America in a better position than when he took office. He wants to focus on his pet projects of gun control, climate change and closing Guantanamo Bay. 

"Unfortunately for the President and his Democratic Party, Americans are keenly aware of the real State of the Union. Millions remain out of work or underemployed. The national debt has nearly doubled, with future generations footing the bill. Obamacare has been a disaster. Our top status on the foreign policy stage has been diminished. And Obama continues to send our tax dollars to his friends in the abortion industry, despite Planned Parenthood's involvement in the harvesting and trafficking of baby parts.

"It's time for new leadership in Washington, D.C. in order to get our country back on track. I am ready to head to Washington and offer a desperately-needed new type of leadership. I won't be bound by special interests. Rather, I will fight every day for the good people of Indiana's Third Congressional District. I will advocate tirelessly for conservative principles that shrink the size of government and give control back to the people."

Brown Signs Obamacare Repeal Pledge

FORT WAYNE, IND. – Today, Independent Women’s Voice announced that State Senator Liz Brown (R-IN) has signed the Obamacare Repeal Pledge. She is a candidate for Congress in Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District.

“State Sen. Liz Brown’s signature on the Pledge is a clear demonstration of her commitment to the full and complete repeal of Obamacare, and to end the harm that it is inflicting upon American families,” said Heather Higgins, President and CEO of Independent Women’s Voice.

“Sen. Brown understands that Obamacare is hiking insurance premiums, diminishing quality of care, and reducing our choice and control in health care decisions,” added Higgins. “She understands that Obamacare means bigger government and less freedom. For these reasons, and many more, it must be repealed.”

“Washington has failed to enact healthcare reform that truly helps,” added Sen. Brown. “Obamacare has been a disaster and it’s breaking the backs of the middle class. I believe we must end Obamacare and replace it with a model of health care that guarantees the patient doctor relationship and restores free market principles in our nation’s healthcare systems.”

“The Repeal Pledge was designed as a litmus test to help the American public understand which candidates and office holders are serious about repeal, versus those who claim to be but won’t actually take action,” continued Higgins. “With this commitment, Sen. Brown passes that test.”
