September 24, 2010 – Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) today released the following statement in response to President Obama's meeting yesterday with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and in light of tomorrow's significance as the 30th anniversary of China's notorious one-child policy:
"As tomorrow marks the 30th anniversary of China's brutal, oppressive, inhumane 'one-child' policy, one would hope that President Obama would have taken advantage of his face-to-face meeting yesterday with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to express absolute opposition to a policy that results in millions of coerced abortions ever year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the conversation bore no mention of China's unspeakable human rights violations.
"For someone who says he cares about 'women's rights,' as President Obama so often claims when promoting abortion-on-demand, Mr. Obama seems disturbingly unperturbed by the fact that, even today, pregnant Chinese women were dragged off the streets and forced to endure the murder of their child, either because the Chinese government determined they shouldn't have more than one, or because they had the 'nerve' to conceive without a government license to do so.
"Moreover, it would seem that ignoring China's overwhelming record of human rights violations is an Administration-wide policy. Just last February, while addressing China's appalling human rights record during a trip to China, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shockingly said, '... our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis.' I can hardly sum up the Administration's deplorably skewed priorities better than Mrs. Clinton herself.
"Because of the traditional preference for boys in China, as many as 40 million Chinese baby girls have been murdered since the one-child policy’s institution, not to mention the millions who are simply abandoned. This ghastly trend has led to huge demographic disparities, with ratios of 160 men for every 100 women in some areas. And by creating a black market for little boys, this policy almost singlehandedly accounts for the abduction of 190 Chinese boys every single day. The incredible strain such an oppressive atmosphere places on mothers has caused the suicide rate amongst Chinese women to reach epidemic proportions, with 500 Chinese women killing themselves every day, a number unheard of in other parts of the world.
"If Barack Obama cannot find his tongue to condemn an inhumanity of this magnitude, he has lost his way as a human being."
Congressman Franks is serving his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, and is a member of the Committee on Armed Services, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, Military Readiness Subcommittee, Committee on the Judiciary, Constitution Subcommittee, and is Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.
Cuba Sees the Light, Too Bad Grijalva Hasn't
September 24th, 2010
For Immediate Release
One of the last bastions of Communism is falling. Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro recently announced that the Cuban government would be cutting 500,000 government jobs, moving towards free-market reforms, and allowing individuals to own and operate businesses. Yes, that's right, even Fidel Castro is abandoning socialist principles in favor of practical economic solutions.
Once again we see that socialism and its "centrally planned", big government economics simply does not work. Except in the minds of academic theorists and populist politicians.
In the Soviet Union, women stood in endless lines for a single loaf of bread or a pair of shoes. North Koreans live on the edge of starvation--desperately terrified of their own government. And Hugo Chavez rakes in billions for his cronies, while the people of Venezuela huddle in filth and abject poverty.
It doesn't work. So why does Raul Grijalva want to replicate their failures here at home? And if you think this is just alarmist rhetoric, ask yourself, what are the hallmarks of communist government?
A.) Government run and controlled healthcare? Obamacare. Check.
B.) Government owns major corporations? GM, Chrysler, Fannie, Freddie. Check.
C.) Government control of the financial markets? Wall Street "Reform". Check.
D.) Government controlled pension and retirement system? And it's broke. Check.
E.) Massive Bureaucracies? Don't really need to say anything here. Check.
F.) Vast numbers of unionized government employees? And they make double what they would in the private sector. Check
G.) Wealth Redistribution? Tax hikes for small business owners. Check
"Communist countries have always been big on promises and short on their deliveries. The 'Radiant Future' of Karl Marx has never been more than a mirage," said Ruth McClung.
"But some politicians--like our President and Mr. Grijalva--still believe in the fantasy. But that's all socialism is, a fantasy. They're grasping for something that doesn't exist--like a dying man in the desert, they think that dust cloud ahead is a palm grove with a pool of icy cold water in the middle."
"The only way to solve our problems and lead America back into the future is to embrace the free market, personal responsibility and self reliance."

The Obama administration’s idea of a rogue state is Arizona.
Today we learn that the UFCW union has come to its senses and renounced the economic boycott of our state it has led while financially backing Congressman Mitchell’s campaign efforts. They have done harm to our community, and it defies good judgment… but that’s just it, Congressman Mitchell’s voting record has been a treasure trove of bad judgment!
Congressman Harry Mitchell has been bought and paid for by unions like UFCW to the tune of over half a million dollars.
Washington liberals like Congressman Mitchell have betrayed workers, seniors, taxpayers, and they’ve abandoned the Constitution. The liberal rank-and-file have picked a fight with Arizona.
Now that’s exactly what we’re going to give it to them!
Replacing Congressman Mitchell is crucial to turning this economy around and that won’t happen until union-owned Congressmen like Mitchell are defeated.
He handed the car companies over to the unions.
His record in Congress, carrying the water of unions like UFCW, has hurt our economy and cost us jobs.
Congressman Mitchell hasn’t wasted a single chance to sell our government to big labor.
Join David Schweikert TODAY and stand up for Arizona, stand up for America, and let’s defend the Constitution and fight for our economic freedom.
Your incredible support has meant that our campaign has the resources to stay competitive. But we need to keep up the pressure to be able to fund the ads that help keep us on the path to victory.
The American people want jobs, they want a real economic recovery, and they want federal policies that remove barriers to economic prosperity.
Our ad goes dark in just a few hours.

I need your help to make sure we can keep it running strong.
Congressman Harry Mitchell has been a huge part of the problem in Washington.
He voted for ObamaCare (twice!), voted for the Wall Street bailouts, and voted for the Obama-Pelosi stimulus that has lost more jobs than it has produced.
With your support, I am confident that we can have still have a strong economic recovery.
If WE THE PEOPLE are going to save our country, and turn our economy around, we need to replace politicians like Congressman Mitchell who have squandered trillions of dollars and done nothing to strengthen our economy and bring about real jobs creation.
Let’s put the Democrats' job killing record behind us and unleash the entrepreneurial genius of the American people and elect true fiscal leaders to Washington who will fight for our economic freedom.
