Shreveport, LA – Congressman John Fleming, M.D., announced that his campaign finished its strongest-ever quarter of fundraising with at least $750,000 cash on hand.
Fleming said, “As I’ve traveled our district it’s clear that Louisianans are demanding that fiscal sanity be restored to Washington. The support I’ve seen already in 2012 is strong and growing. People want Obamacare repealed. They want an end to deficit spending, a sound energy policy, relief from excessive regulations, a government that follows the Constitution, economic liberty for individuals, and they want to make sure Washington never shirks its responsibilities to our armed services.
Even as President Obama and his allies in the Senate trample on religious freedom, which rests at the core of Americans’ First Amendment rights, Rep. John Fleming will continue to fight to protect the fundamental freedoms of Louisianans.
After the U.S. Senate rejected legislation that spared employers from being forced to pay for contraception because of ObamaCare mandates, Congressman Fleming released the following statement:
Congressman John Fleming strongly opposes the energy policy of President Obama’s administration, which is to allow gas prices to rise unhindered to the detriment of Louisiana’s families.
President Obama’s Energy Secretary has made the administration’s tactic clear by saying that gas prices should continue to rise until they reach the European costs – between $8 and $10 a gallon – even as Americans struggle to make ends meet.
The Club for Growth recently honored Dr. John Fleming with its annual Defender of Economic Freedom award, which recognizes strong voting records on issues regarding economic growth.
Dr. Fleming scored a 97 on the Club for Growth’s annual scorecard, which weighs votes on policy measures like:
