Rep. Paul Broun: It is highly irresponsible to be giving the President a blank check to spend and borrow as he pleases – but unfortunately, that’s exactly what Speaker Boehner’s bill does. We cannot continue to fuel the President’s spending addiction by increasing our nation’s borrowing limit and leaving our children and grandchildren with bills they simply cannot afford to pay.
Rep. Phil Gingrey: Today we send an important message to President Obama—that Washington cannot continue to operate under business as usual and expect to put our fiscal house in order. With a national debt now exceeding the value of the entire U.S. economy, the current course we are on is not only unsustainable but threatens our national security. And yes, I've voted to rubber stamp the Iraq War and it, uh, did it increase the U.S. debt? Hmmmm.
Rep. Jack Kingston: We need to cut up the credit card, not suspend the debt limit. Our debt is bigger than the size of our economy. That should be the wake up call that it's time to change. And yes, I voted to rubber stamp the Iraq War which increased the U.S. debt.
Branko Radulovacki: As we continue to dig out of a long, difficult recession, we must ensure that we do not put our economic recovery in jeopardy with draconian budget cuts to key programs like Social Security and Medicare. Our most fundamental values as Americans compel us to put a hedge of protection around the most vulnerable members of our society. We must not balance the budget at the expense of our children, our senior citizens or the lowest-income Americans. Threatening vital safety nets for the most vulnerable would not resolve our budget issues; it could actually compound them while undermining our values.
Instead, I believe we should enact comprehensive tax reform that eliminates deductions, loopholes and giveaways that unfairly favor the wealthy, and develop a bipartisan strategy for reviving and protecting America’s middle class. More middle-class jobs mean lower unemployment costs (both direct and indirect) and greater tax revenue – both of which reduce our nation’s debt.
With about two months until the May 2014, we've gotten feedback from others on whether or not Democratic Candidate Branko Radulovacki is really getting outside Atlanta, GA (seeing as his psychiatry practice is in Atlanta).
Thankfully, he has. Today, March 7th in Dallas, GA, Radulovacki will be at a bowling social at Stars and Strikes from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm to discuss issues one-on-one and answer questions.
Details of today's event is as follows:

Here's a photo of Branko Radulovacki at the recent NFIB forum featuring all Republican U.S. Senate candidates. From our understanding, Michelle Nunn was invited to attend but declined. A video featuring Radulovacki discussing Obamacare here:
Here's Dr. Rad on the issues.
