Brooks Wicker Makes a Statement About the EPA

Recently, the EPA has enforced onerous rules that directly affect all the citizens of Jefferson County. These rules cause the utilities to raise their rates on everyone. A Federal Appeals court ruled for the defendants coal companies and against the EPA. Unfortunately, this does not get residents of Jefferson County out of having to pay the bill - the Clean Air Act has already been passed.

Brooks Wicker informs us that John Yarmuth is in full support of the EPA's "war on coal" by backing the moves of the EPA. Don't forget, it was Barack Obama that stated a coal power company can start a new plant, but he was going to make it so expensive that it would not make any money. And John Yarmuth is nothing more than a rubber stamp for Obama's initiatives.

See Mr. Wicker's statement here: http://www.brookswicker.com/epa-blocked-but-rates-still-rise/
I support a balanced approach to energy policy, one that includes all our available domestic resources, including Kentucky coal. Supporting Kentucky’s coal industry means supporting cheaper electricity, lower property taxes and more money for the things that matter most.

Brooks Wicker Hosts a Tea Dumping Party

Today I had the opportunity to go to a mock tea party on the Ohio River. The event was put on by the Brooks Wicker for Congress campaign. We had a large barrel with the word "TAX" on it. As the barrel was rolled down the ramp to the Ohio River, Mr. Wicker spoke to us about the need for repealing ObamaCare and voting out President Obama and John Yarmuth (the incumbent for KY-CD3). Mr. Yarmuth is one of President Obama's most faithful Congressmen. I am doing what I can to help Brooks Wicker defeat him this November.

When Mr. Wicker finished his speech, the barrel was unplugged and we dumped the "tea" into the river.

"It's
more important now than ever that we get rid of President Obama, we get
rid of John Yarmuth, and we get control of the Senate." -Brooks Wicker
It is more important than any time in the history of our country that
we make those changes. Because there is a definite threat to our
freedom and our liberty and our way of life with the administration we
have in place." -Brooks Wicker
