Her name is Carly Fiorina, and I’m proud to endorse her for U.S. Senate.

Carly is the Commonsense Conservative that California needs and our country could sure use in these trying times. Most importantly, she’s running for the right reasons. She has an understanding that is sorely lacking in D.C. She’s not a career politician. She’s a businesswoman who has run a major corporation. She knows how to really incentivize job creation. Her fiscal conservatism is rooted in real life experience. She knows that when government grows, the private sector shrinks under the burden of debt and deficits. We can trust Carly to do the right thing for America’s economy and to make the principled decisions she has throughout her professional career.

Please consider that Carly is the conservative who has the potential to beat California’s liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. I’m a huge proponent of contested primaries, so I’m glad to see the contest in California’s GOP, but I support Carly as she fights through a tough primary against a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no difference to Boxer, one of the most leftwing members of the Senate. Carly needs our support in this crucial election year when we have a real chance of putting an end to the Pelosi/Reid “Big Government” agenda.

I hope you’ll join me in supporting Carly. Visit her website here, and follow her on Facebook and Twitter. Read up on her positions and plans to help get us on the right track.

California is still Reagan Country, and Carly promises her “Reagan Conservative” values will be put to good use for her state and for our great nation. Shaking it up in California is long overdue. Let’s help Carly do it!

“While it isn’t surprising that Senator Boxer would vote for this legislation along with other members of her party, a better solution would come from a bipartisan effort that actually achieves true reform, holds the appropriate parties responsible for their actions and protects our fellow Americans.”

On Sunday, Fiorina elaborated on her concerns about the Democrats’ financial reform bill during an interview on Fox News Channel’s America’s News HQ. Click here to watch the video.

Sign the Petition to Repeal Health Care Reform is a post from: Carly Fiorina for California | CarlyforCalifornia.com

By Carly Fiorina
March 19, 2010

When Washington first began its push for health care reform, I was hopeful that a bipartisan effort would yield a bill that would help reduce the cost of health care while improving access and quality. Unfortunately the legislation being considered this weekend in Congress achieves none of those goals.

…

But what began as a well-intentioned effort to reduce costs and improve quality has been corrupted by Washington insiders and their political games. The bill now being debated looks more like the work of Dr. Frankenstein.

The last thing people want to hear when they are sitting in a waiting room is “the bureaucrat will see you now.” Yet that is exactly where our nation is headed because Democrats continue to ignore the will of the American people in pushing this effort forward. They have further made a mockery of the deliberative process by boxing out Republicans and, amazingly, seeking to pass out a bill without voting on it. It’s no wonder that the majority of voters oppose the reforms currently being considered. Americans are sick and tired of career politicians and the games they play in Washington.

With the $940 billion price tag for this plan in question, it isn’t clear what the real total cost and impact of this legislation will be. What is clear is that the final number will be at least $2.4 trillion. Estimates are that it will increase premiums by 10% to 13%. In addition, it will result in about $562 billion in new taxes and, at least on the face of it, $523 billion in Medicare cuts.

…

This plan does far more than just overhaul 17 percent of our economy. It represents a giant leap toward expanding government-run healthcare. Sunday’s vote is exactly the opposite of what Winston Churchill called “the end of the beginning.” In fact, it’s the beginning of the end when it comes to the government’s ever-increasing role in our lives and pocketbooks.
