Lorton, VA – Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) has received an “F” rating from the National Taxpayers Union, a non-profit, non-partisan citizen group devoted to lowering taxes and reducing the size of government.
Connolly’s score of 13 percent classifies him as a “Big Spender” in Washington.
In conducting these ratings the National Taxpayers Union analyzed the voting record of all House and Senate members during the first session of the 112th Congress, focusing specifically on votes that significantly affected taxes, spending, debt, and regulatory burdens on consumers and taxpayers. Each of the votes is weighted to reflect the importance of each vote’s effect. Depending on their record legislators can receive a rating from A (“Taxpayers’ Friend”) to F. More information on the methodology and the list of votes analyzed can be found at http://www.ntu.org/on-capitol-hill/.
“I am not surprised that Congressman Connolly received such a extraordinarily low score from the National Taxpayers Union,” said Colonel Chris Perkins. “His 'government-knows-best' agenda demands that the Congressman increase the size of government and raise taxes on hard-working Americans. This rating is proof that Congressman Connolly is more concerned with keeping his own job than serving the needs of Virginia’s 11th Congressional District.”
Chris Perkins is running for Congress in Virginia's 11th District against incumbent Democrat Gerry Connolly. Perkins is a retired Army Special Forces Colonel who served in uniform for over twenty-four years. Colonel Perkins believes in a strong national defense capability, limited government, individual rights, and personal responsibility.

But Gerry does get a A++++ rating from the unions that he so effectively represents. Hopefully the taxpayers will give him a rating that he truly deserves - unemployed.

Its time to reward Gerry for his staunch support of Pelosi and Obama

^ Agree - we re-elect him for another term and tell Chris Perkins he is not going to get another welfare check from Uncle Sam.

^^pay no attention, this candy ass is so scared to join the military he crosses the street when he gets near a recuriting station.
The best thing he can say about Connolly is he spends alot of money we dont have.

Gerry is such a kind, genuine man. You can just see the honesty from this pic, and his love of spending money we don't have, towards places other than Fairfax.

What does Chris Perkins' retirement pension cost the American Tax Payers each month in salary and benefits? He earned it no doubt but the monthly nut is probably in excess of $10,000.
So why does Chris Perkins deserve another Government salary and even more US Tax Dollars each month?
If he is elected - shouldn't he pledge not to take another US Tax Payer funded salary or any US Tax Payer funded health care benefits?
No Double Dipping into US Tax Payer pockets!
Enough is Enough.
One welfare check is enough.

You again? Do you ever shut up? If being in the Army is such a sweet deal then go to the recruiting station and sign on the dotted line you dipshit. You are the biggest weiner on this site. You get your welfare check every month with a nice stipend of food stamps so shut the hell up while you are ahead.
Lastly get the hell out of your moms basement. Your dad was right you needed your ass kicked as a child.

He is both in a weird way. He volunteers for Gerry while collecting a welfare check. Gerry has no record to run on other than being a big spender of money we dont have. His record on the Fairfax BOS should speak for itself.

Chris Perkins is just another Koch Whore - just like George MooCaCa Allen and Ken Coochienelli. We need to keep these crazy fuckers out of Government.
