Republican lawmakers have repeatedly blasted Obama with blatantly ignoring the United States Constitution with his socialist healthcare legislation and other affronts at the freedom of Americans. Unfortunately, many of these same Republicans repeatedly blatantly ignore the Constitution on a regular basis. Cathy McMorris Rogers, Washington's Fifth Congressional District Representative is one of these Republicans and this article is dedicated to exposing her actual voting record for people voting in the polls on August 17^th and November 2^nd.

Cathy is Washington's is widely considered to be Washington's best Congressional representative (however, after looking at the record, Doc Hastings appears to be slightly more conservative, not voting with Cathy on three of the bills in this article), voting against TARP, the Obama Stimulus Plan, Cap and Trade, and Obamacare. However, I would argue that over 50%-70% of Americans would easily have voted against these plans. You really test the integrity of the representative by the votes they make when no one is looking. Many of these votes you might never have heard about, have given Obama's administration massive powers to suppress the rights of the American people directly against protections existing in the Bill of Rights. These votes matter! I urge you to go through these votes below with prayerful consideration. Most people I tell privately about them are shocked, which is the reason I am writing this for a wider distribution. These represent only a small sample of what I found when going through her voting record from 2005 – 2010. I have also included some votes that are just plain bad public policy.

Remember, you have a choice in August in the top-two primary. Given four weak Democratic candidates this year, a conservative will easily make it to the general election, and perhaps even two could. It is important that the candidate who most upholds the value of the Constitution goes forward. I personally am supporting Randall Yearout because he teaches the Constitution, the way the founders meant it to be interpreted, and I know he is much more likely to uphold the principles of limited government ensconced in that document than Cathy, who has proven by her voting record that either she has not read or understood the Constitution, or just does not care about preserving the government restraints outlined therein.
