TIM PHILLIPS: CUTTING GOVERNMENT WASTE

Millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on things like an International Storytelling Center in Tennessee and the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Texas. In Congress I will fight to stop excessive government spending.

• An independent commission to eliminate waste
• A hard cap on spending
• Audits to terminate obsolete programs
• A two-year federal budget

“Tim’s right. Congress has a spending problem. We need fiscal conservatives like Tim in Congress to protect taxpayers.”
Jack Roberts, Former Republican Candidate for Governor,
Former Commissioner of Labor and Industries

TIM PHILLIPS: LOWERING TAXES AND
CREATING JOBS

History has continually shown that cutting taxes stimulates the economy, grows receipts for the Treasury, and creates jobs. I’ll work to make sure Oregon families keep more of what they earn by making President Bush’s tax cuts permanent.

“President Bush needs fiscal conservatives like Tim in Congress to help cut taxes, create jobs and allow Oregonians to keep more of what they earn.”
David G. Bishop, Chief, Beaverton Police Department

TIM PHILLIPS: IMPROVING EDUCATION

As politicians have raced to fix our nation’s education system, Oregon has lost flexibility in providing a good education. Parents and teachers know what’s best for our children, so in Congress I’ll fight to increase education control at the local level.

“Tim Phillips knows that local control, flexibility and options for parents brings true accountability to our public schools.”
Rob Kremer, President, Oregon Education Coalition
