‘Nan Hayworth failed us all’

Ever since Nan Hayworth got to the House, she has failed her constituency and the Hudson Valley.

Hayworth betrayed local farmers by voting to deny aid for recovery from hurricanes Irene and Lee; voted against 18 labor and jobs creation initiatives.

She did, however support, diminishing Wall Street oversight while advocating tax breaks for the rich.

Hayworth betrays “the people” for a government controlled by corporate power.

A “doctor,” Hayworth will callously cut health care for those who cannot afford it and destroy Medicare and Social Security but spend our taxes on arms for more wars.

Labeling herself an advocate, she voted to undermine regulatory enforcement of environmental protections favoring deregulation for Big Gas and Oil instead.

To add insult to injury, Hayworth supports taxpayer subsidies of non-sustainable fossil fuel energy generation jeopardizing our ultimate survival.

It is time for a change. We want a representative who cares about our children, our country, the environment, us. Richard Becker is a doctor with a heart, the intelligence, caring, capacity and courage to fight for the people.

Get to know him. Give him a chance to serve the Hudson Valley and America in Congress.
