It's Time to Step-up for a Scrapper

'YOU'VE GOT A SCRAPPER'
CHARLOTTE BERGMANN
WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR LIBERTY!

July 30, 2012

 Dear Fellow Americans,

Remember how the leftwing media crucified Sarah Palin in the 2008 election? Well, now they've made "Charlotte Bergmann" their new target.

A recent Commercial Appeal article contained a ruthless personal attack against Charlotte – using long debunked accusations. They're desperate because they know that they are going to lose unless they destroy her. They know that another Conservative candidate threatens their D.C. ways.

Liberals know that if Charlotte wins, the Democratic Party’s stronghold over the upwardly mobile, freedom loving voters in the NEW 9^th District is cooked.  As we head into the heart of perhaps one of the most important – but racially and economically polarized election cycles of our lifetime – we need to continue our success in carrying the message of freedom.

The need has NEVER been so urgent! Charlotte Bergmann warns that under this administration’s statism – unless the People take our nation back from socialistic policies – we WILL lose America!

Memphians need jobs!

Her opponent, Dr. Flinn owns over 40 radio stations from California to Florida. But in Memphis, he is responsible for the job losses of several radio hosts with the recent reformatting of WMPS-the Point, a radio station which was gaining in popularity. Jobs are NOT his priority!

The main stream media is predicting that Dr. George Flinn will win the Republican Primary on the basis of his deep pockets.  This is not what we heard as people were exiting the polls.  But, the election is Thursday, August 2^nd. Only 62,601 people had voted by the end of Early Voting.

Dr. Flinn will become another Washington insider who is sucking the lifeblood out of America by spending our money with no consequence! So stand with me and send a hard working, commonsense conservative just like you to Congress by following this link right now to make a donation of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to my campaign.

After the hard fought right to control the redistricting process and to give Republicans more control for a legislative majority, please help elect Charlotte Bergmann. Help her steal victory from the jaws of defeat for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Sincerely, Charlotte Bergmann Candidate for US Congress http://CharlotteBergmann.com

VOTE YOUR FUTURE

Thank You Commercial Appeal

It’s no secret which way the editorial board at the Commercial Appeal leans; so is it any wonder that they are wanting George Flinn as the Republican to run against Steve Cohen in November?  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out.  Their goal is to re-elect both Cohen and Obama.  They know that Flinn cannot beat Cohen.  What’s funny though, is that they unwittingly gave Charlotte Bergmann a compliment.  They called her a scrapper.   The definition of a a scrapper: “Someone who looks small but is really wired and can kick some major ass even though he doesn't look like it.”  That describes Charlotte Bergmann to a T.  She has already proven her grit and determination in the face of opposition and bullying.  Her “interview” with Thaddeus Matthew in January is a great example.  While he was hurling insults and names at her, she graciously listened to his onslaught; but upon leaving, she took action.  Because of this incident, Matthews is off the airwaves in Memphis.  By the way, we can thank Flinn for Thaddeus Matthews ~see here for connection and comments about Matthews by Flinn~.   Flinn also claims that he will fight for jobs; yet recently several radio hosts at one of his radio stations ~WMPS-The Point~ lost their jobs due to “reformatting”.  The hosts that lost their jobs were gaining in popularity, so why would be replaced?  Makes one go hmmmmmmmmmm.  

Flinn couldn’t beat Fincher in the Republican Primary in 2010; he couldn’t beat Wharton for Shelby County Mayor in 2002 ~he lost 62% to 37%~; what makes him think that he can beat Cohen in 2012? 

Charlotte Bergmann is the only Republican that can beat Cohen in November and both the CA and Cohen know it.  As a “scrapper” she will fight to bring Liberty and Reconciliation to Memphis, which in turn will bring Prosperity to Memphis.  Liberals like Cohen ~and the CA~  know that if Charlotte wins, the Democratic Party’s stronghold over the upwardly mobile, freedom loving voters in the NEW 9^th District is cooked.  As we head into the heart of perhaps one of the most important – but racially and economically polarized election cycles of our lifetime – we need to continue our success in carrying the message of freedom.  Charlotte is the only one that can do that.  She needs your help though.  First, she needs you to vote for her on August 2, 2012 in the Republican Primary.  Here is a sample ballot for the Primary.  Second, she needs you to tell your family and friends about her and encourage them to vote for Charlotte. Third, she needs your help financially.  It costs money to get the word out about Charlotte, and she would appreciate any donation that you can give her.  You can donate here.  If you live in a safe Republican district, donating to her campaign is something you can do to help get Charlotte Bergmann to D.C.  

How will you help bring sanity and Constitutional government back to D.C.?

Charlotte Bergmann: Only Candidate that Can Bring Reconciliation to Memphis

My friend and Congressional Candidate, Charlotte Bergmann, has been talking to voters during Early Voting in the Primary in Memphis.  Her message of bringing Liberty, Prosperity and Reconciliation to Memphis is resonating with voters.  She was confronted by an angry voter who was spewing anger at "the man" and told her, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself running as a Republican."  She called out to him as he was walking away "How can you blame a Republican for this mess when most people in Memphis have voted for Democratic policies?" He made it a point to let her know when he returned that he, "Voted Republican".  Probably for the first time in his life! 

Charlotte Bergmann states that  "IT HAS GOT TO STOP: I'm running for office because I meet people voting for their lives! People who are living with our economic realities and those realities are painful. The incumbent's plans have NOT 'worked'"  

"REALITY: Forty-one straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, 8.2 million people working part-time who want full-time work, a record 88 million Americans not in the labor force, 1.9 percent GDP growth in the past quarter, more bad GDP numbers expected tomorrow, a stagnant housing market, $5 trillion in new debt, the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, 38 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 45 million Americans on food stamps, food prices continuing to increase dramatically, the poverty level likely to rise to the highest level in nearly fifty years…"

"WE MUST STOP VOTING AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR OUR OPPRESSORS."

Charlotte Bergmann in Runaway Slave

Ms. Bergmann is serious about her goal of bringing Reconciliation not only to Memphis, but also to the rest of the nation.  She was invited to ~and spoke at~ the local NAACP.  She was viciously attacked by radio host Thaddeus Matthews in January.  She has received the thanks of many in the community for getting him off the airwaves because of that interview.  She is also working with friends of Johnnie Williams, a local business owner, who has been jailed  and fined for EPA "violations".  She has a part in the movie Runaway Slave. 

Charlotte Bergmann needs our help.  She is the only candidate in the Republican Primary that can Repeal and Replace CongressCritter Cohen.  The facts are that the only way to beat Cohen is with outreach to the majority minority community.  We know it can be done.  Shelby County mayor Mark Luttrell was elected in 2010 as a Republican.  He is one of several Republicans who won in 2010.  Charlotte Bergmann can win in November, but only if she gets the Republican nomination.  She needs our help to get her to November.  Will you help by voting for her, telling your friends about her, volunteering for her, or donating to her campaign.  If you are in a "safe" Republican district, you can help by donating and telling your friends about her.  Her vote in Congress will affect all Americans. 

Truth about the Memphis Commercial Appeal Truth-O-Meter

The attack arm of Steve Cohen and the Democrats strikes again.  I'm speaking of the Commercial Appeal; specifically their  Politifact reporter Bartholomew Sullivan. Here is a letter to the editor sent in by a retired Shelby County Schools teacher.  We'll see if the Commercial Appeal deigns to publish it.

Turn the Truth-O-Meter on yourself Commercial Appeal

Meet Mr. Truth-O-Meter: Bartholomew Sullivan

Scripps Howard News Service Political Coordinator.  Check out his Politico Facts and try to guess what his is agenda is. Do you think he might have it out for any and all Republicans? 

http://www.politifact.com/tennessee/staff/bartholomew-sullivan/

Not only did the CA endorse Ms Bergmann's opponent this weekend who they know can not defeat their REAL congressional choice, Steve Cohen, (Just watch who they endorse in October) they sic their attack dog Sullivan to split hairs on exactly how big the BIG Obama Tax is. The REAL true fact that come across in this article is that, Yes, maybe, the tax to fund WWII in 1945 MIGHT have been larger than OBAMA TAX, it doesn't dispute the REAL TRUE FACT that is undisputed in the article that OBAMA TAX is one HUGE TAX that is on the way whether we like it or not. Do you think the people who are in the path of a hurricane care if it is a category 8 or 9?

Oh BTW the data that PolitiFact author Sullivan used to refute Ms. Bergmann's claims was the OTS papers from the Department of Treasury.  Sounds pretty impressive, right? Well according to the Department of Treasury's own website the OTS Papers is characterized as follows:

"The Office of Tax Analysis (OTA) Papers is an occasional series of reports on the research, models, and datasets developed to inform and improve Treasury's tax policy and analysis. The papers are works in progress and subject to revision. Views and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent official Treasury positions or policy. "

Commercial Appeal Editor, Since  Bart Sullivan was using questionable data in his article, when will we be seeing a retraction?

In case you missed the taxes that Ms. Bergmann  is referring to when calling the ObamaTax the largest tax in history, here are just some of what is in ObamaTax:

• Starting in 2013, Medicare payroll taxes increase 0.9 percentage points for people with incomes over $200,000 ($250,000 for couples filing jointly). Also, people at this income level would pay a new 3.8 percent tax on investment income. The 10-year tax increase: $210.2 billion.

  • Starting in 2018, a new 40 percent excise tax on high-cost health plans, so-called "Cadillac plans" (over $10,200 for individuals, $27,500 for families), kicks in. That's a tax increase of $32 billion in 2018 and 2019.

• Starting in 2014, a new annual fee on health insurance providers begins. Total estimated 10-year tax increase: $60.1 billion.

• Starting in 2013, the floor on medical expense deductions on itemized income tax returns will be raised from 7.5 percent to 10 percent of income. That's estimated to be an additional tax of $15.2 billion over the next 10 years.

One of the facts that Mr. Sullivan conveniently left out of his article is that they keep finding out new costs/taxes in this bill.  The CBO ~Congressional Budget Office~ has revised it's numbers upward as the years of full implementation of ObamaTax become a reality.

CBO’s initial scoring of Obamacare analyzed its effects from 2010 to 2019, including only six years of full implementation, since main spending provisions do not go into effect until 2014. The new document reports on 2012 to 2021, including an additional two years of full implementation. This still fails to show the true 10-year cost of the law, but gets a little closer. Over eight years, the gross cost of Obamacare’s coverage provisions jumps from $938 billion to $1.39 trillion, which includes $677 billion to create a new health entitlement offering generous subsidies to the middle class to purchase health insurance.

 Here is a chart that shows the upward trend of the real costs of ObamaTax.

The CBO is going to adjust their scoring on the ObamaTax yet again due to the recent Supreme Court ruling.  How much more will it cost us, the American taxpayer?

When the Bias-O-Meter is pointed at the Commercial Appeal, the needle points to 100% Liberal.

Cohen and BO/BS have Dissed TN Voters Again

Yet another reason to Repeal and Replace CongressCritter Cohen.  TN voters thru their elected representatives effectively defunded Planned Parenthood ~the nations top abortion provider~

From LifeNews.com

"Last year, Governor Bill Haslam urged local public health departments in Memphis and Nashville to accept all available Title X funds, an effort which successfully ended Title X funding for Tennessee’s Planned Parenthood facilities, when Shelby County commissioners ultimately voted to, instead, award its Title X funds to Christ Community Health, which does not provide or promote abortion.

“While we are disappointed that any tax funding would be directed to private organizations promoting and profiting from the killing of unborn children, this end run around the people of Tennessee will serve to underscore the urgent need to elect a pro-life president, Senate and Congress in November,” said Brian Harris, president of Tennessee Right to Life.

From The Daily Caller .

Pro-lifers are calling foul at Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen’s announcement that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Grants Management has given Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region $395,000 through its Title X Family Planning Services Program.

According to Cohen’s office, Title X is the only federal grant program with the lone mission of funding family planning services.

“Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region has been helping Memphis and Shelby County residents get the health care they need to lead happier, healthier lives for years,” Cohen said in a statement. “These new federal funds will help ensure the Title X Family Planning Program reaches those who need help the most in underserved communities.”
Pro-life groups say that the Obama administration is blatantly circumventing the state’s 2011 decision to defund Planned Parenthood.

“While we are disappointed that any tax funding would be directed to private organizations promoting and profiting from the killing of unborn children, this end run around the people of Tennessee will serve to underscore the urgent need to elect a pro-life president, Senate and Congress in November,” said Brian Harris, president of Tennessee Right to Life\

According to the Tennessee Right to Life, however, the $359,000 is still less than the $727,000 Planned Parenthood had been receiving annually.

“From day one of his presidency, Obama has gone to extremes to support Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider,” added Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List. “He has refused to yield in the face of Planned Parenthood’s scandals including their exposure as an ally of alleged human traffickers and as willing to turn a blind eye to sex-selective abortion in their clinics. Additionally, it defies reason to send more federal funds to an organization that has been found culpable in the waste, abuse, and potential fraud of millions of taxpayer dollars.”
Harris claims this is more proof that the state needs to be sure a pro-life president is in the White House next year.

“The stakes for pro-life Tennesseans in the upcoming elections have just been heightened,” said Harris. “We’ve done good work here in Tennessee electing pro-life majorities to the Legislature and Congress. But all of that can apparently be undone by a single official unless we have a pro-life president and a pro-life senate solidly committed to defending the weakest and most vulnerable of all.”

The Susan B. Anthony List added that this is the second time the administration has bypassed a state’s decision to not fund Planned Parenthood — the first example being a $1 million contract with Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, despite New Hampshire’s initial decision to reject a contract with the group.
LifeNews reported Thursday evening that the $359,000 grant is the first of a three-year award set to total almost $1.2 million.

 In number terms ~as pointed out by a fellow citizen of TN-9~ Cohen just gave the death sentence to 450 - 1,360 citizens of Memphis.  According to Planned Parenthood, 1st trimester abortions cost about $300-$950.  Cohen also voted against stopping gender selection abortions.  While the majority of Cohen's constituents are church going and Pro-life, Cohen doesn't care.  He is in lock-step with the Obama Administration and Planned Parenthood.

It's time to Repeal and Replace Cohen with a Congressman who is Pro-life and believes in the Constitution.  It's time to Repeal and Replace Cohen with Charlotte Bergmann, because without Life, there is no Liberty or Pursuit of Happiness.  While Charlotte Bergmann is not the only Pro-life candidate in the Republican TN-9 race, she is the only one who can beat Steve Cohen.  She is the only Republican candidate that can bring Reconciliation to Memphis.  She is the only candidate that can bridge the gap between the different communities in Memphis.  She has proven this with her encounter with ex-radio show host Thadeus Matthews.  

Chip and Dip with Charlotte Bergmann

With the recent ObamaTax decision by the Supreme court, it is more important than ever to elect Constitutional Conservatives who will fight to Repeal and Replace HellCare as well as the many other encroachments on our Liberty that have been foisted on us by legislators like Steve Cohen.

Charlotte Bergmann is such a Constitutional Champion.  She is determined to Repeal and Replace ObamaTax.  Here is her statement regarding the decision by the Supreme Court:

Supreme Court’s Decision on ‘Obamacare’ Sets the Debate for November’s Election

Make no bones about it, the new tax foisted on Americans will kill job creation!  This tax increase is the largest tax increase in the history of the world.

Five Supreme Court Justices today decided to not impartially rule on the case – i.e. execute their solemn Constitutional charge.  They instead decided to serve as five more Affordable Care Act, 'ObamaCare' lawyers - and create a brand new argument to unconstitutionally "justify" the ObamaCare mandate.

Charlotte Bergmann, U.S. Congressional candidate for Tennessee 9^th District states, “I am disappointed in the Court’s ruling today. ObamaCare will stand as a massive tax on Americans. ObamaCare will add Trillions to our national debt, deter future job growth, and force thousands of individuals out of their existing health care coverage. The choice in the upcoming election couldn’t be clearer."

“Congressman Steve Cohen voted to pass ObamaCare and continues to support it. If elected, I will vote to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with real reforms that put patients and doctors in charge, create more choices for consumers and actually drive down the cost of health care.”

Bergmann then voiced her support for the following market-oriented reforms to health care:

• Make health care expenses and health insurance 100% tax deductible for individuals

• Create more choices through market reforms, including the ability to purchase insurance across state lines

• Aggressive medical malpractice and legal tort reform

• Preserve and protect Medicare through patient-doctor choice, not government cuts that deny seniors services

ObamaCare’s negative effects on job creation and U.S. citizens.

• Starting in 2013, Medicare payroll taxes increase 0.9 percentage points for people with incomes over $200,000 ($250,000 for couples filing jointly). Also, people at this income level would pay a new 3.8 percent tax on investment income. The 10-year tax increase: $210.2 billion.

  • Starting in 2018, a new 40 percent excise tax on high-cost health plans, so-called "Cadillac plans" (over $10,200 for individuals, $27,500 for families), kicks in. That's a tax increase of $32 billion in 2018 and 2019.

• Starting in 2014, a new annual fee on health insurance providers begins. Total estimated 10-year tax increase: $60.1 billion.

• Starting in 2013, the floor on medical expense deductions on itemized income tax returns will be raised from 7.5 percent to 10 percent of income. That's estimated to be an additional tax of $15.2 billion over the next 10 years.

• An unelected board of 15 bureaucrats having the ability to deny health care to senior citizens

• Violates religious conscience: 43 Catholic organizations – including the University of Notre Dame – have sued the U.S. Dept. of HHS over mandates regarding contraception that conflict with the moral teachings of those organizations.

The tax increases in the health care legislation reverses a trend of federal tax cuts and represent the first significant tax increases since 1993.  For the sake of our families, Republicans are outraged and are mobilizing for a 2010 redux...for our LIBERTY!  We have learned that Congress has no right to force us to purchase something we don't want to purchase; but Congress has a right to tax...and tax...and tax us into tyranny.  If liberty is our goal, the Supreme Court has failed its people.

As I have already stated, "If elected, I will fight inch by inch in defense of the Constitution to Repeal and Replace Obamacare."
 

Sincerely,

U.S. Congress Candidate

Charlotte Bergmann: Only Candidate that can Beat Steve Cohen

The Commercial Appeal weighed in with their opinion of the August Repblican primary.  While they are still in CongressCritter Cohen’s corner, they pointed out why he is worried about Charlotte Bergmann.  First, while Memphians have voted Democrat since the 70’s, it is a city of church going, socially conservative people.  With the Democrat Party and Steve Cohen taking such a public stand for abortion and gay marriage ~that are in direct opposition to most Memphian’s values~ and the latest salvo of placing illegal entrants above citizens by executive fiat, ~Cohen is a vocal supporter of  the Dream Act~ many people are waking up to the fact that their vote doesn’t reflect their values.  Add to that the downward spiral of the economy; you have many rethinking their support and votes.  Then add in redistricting; and candidate Charlotte Bergmann and you have the perfect storm for the Democrats and Steve Cohen.  

Why is Charlotte Bergmann the only candidate in the Republican race that can beat Steve Cohen?  First, as Memphis City Councilman, Myron Lowry noticed, is "her tenacity" and as Carolyn Gates, former County Commissioner, stated, “She’s a worker bee”.    Even with the fact that Republican challenger, George Flinn, has dropped $1 Million of his own money into his campaign, and his connections in the business community; he has not raised much more than Ms. Bergmann.   While Dr. Flinn may be a “household name” because of his numerous previous runs, it doesn’t necessarily translate into Memphis voter’s support.  In fact, his name and his money didn’t get him elected in his previous attempts for Congress or Mayor.  When he ran against A.C. Wharton for mayor in 2002, he lost 62% to 37%.

Charlotte Bergmann’s message that Liberty and Reconciliation will bring Prosperity to Memphis is resonating with voters.  Memphians understand that for Memphis to succeed and to once again become a leading city that attracts businesses, we must have Reconciliation between all of its communities.  The days of telling voters that if they don’t agree with City Hall, then they should just move are over.  Ms. Bergmann is the only candidate that recognizes that Reconciliation is longed for and needed in TN-9.  

Ms. Bergmann’s message of Liberty is also connecting with Memphians; Liberty in keeping more of their own money thru lower taxes, Liberty in small businesses knowing what is best for their business, not some government bureaucrat ~who has no experience in meeting payrolls or making a profit~; Liberty in individuals ability to make the best decision for their kids’ education.   Charlotte Bergmann believes in individuals coming up with solutions, not in government telling private citizens what they must do.  

Charlotte Bergmann also has name recognition, not only from her previous run in 2010, but also from her ~now infamous~ interview with a local radio host.  Her courage in the face of the obvious hostility and vitriol of ThadeusMatthews  underscores her commitment and passion for the citizens of Memphis.  There are countless people that credit Ms. Bergmann with getting him off the airwaves. 

Charlotte Bergmann is the only Republican candidate that can beat Steve Cohen in November.  She needs your help by voting for her in the August Republican Primary.  She needs your help in getting out her message to the voters of TN-9.  Donate or sign-up for a yard sign or to volunteer at TheNew9th.com

How will you help get Charlotte Bergmann to D.C.?

Proof: Charlotte Bergmann is a Threat to CongressCritter Cohen

You don't draw flak unless you are over the target. Congressional candidate Charlotte Bergmann is drawing flak from the Cohen campaign. The Commercial Appeal ~specifically Bart Sullivan~ is the tool that the Cohen campaign is using.

Let's connect the dots. The national media is in the tank for BO/BS. A recent example of this is a story by the Washington Post alleging that Romney "bullied" a student when he was in High School in 1965. The only problem is it never happened. This is according to the alleged victims family as reported by Breitbart.com. Another recent example of the media lying is the Trayvon Martin fiasco. NBC and ABC were caught editing audios and visuals. In fact NBC has fired people over it. CNN has also backtracked on their "audio" expert that claimed that Mr. Zimmerman used a racial slur during the 911 call.  The media is now in full retreat mode due to the fact that they realize that most Americans know the truth. 

Let's now go local to Memphis.  In both 2008 and 2010 The Commercial Appeal endorsed Cohen.  Charlotte Bergmann's message of Liberty and Reconciliation that will bring Prosperity to All Memphians is a threat to the Cohen campaign.  Her courage in the face of the obvious hostility and vitriol of Thadeus Matthews  underscores her commitment and passion for the citizens of Memphis.  Ms. Bergmann's personal story of how hard work, perseverance and faith helped her triumph over the obstacles of being a single mom and living out of her car at one point is an example to the voters of TN-9 that Mr. Cohen doesn't want  them to hear.  Mr. Cohen realizes that the biggest threat to his job is from Charlotte Bergmann, not George Flinn.  George Flinn is who Mr. Cohen would rather face in November.  Enter Mr. Sullivan and The Commercial Appeal.  Mr. Sullivan's recent hit piece article takes the word of Dr. Flinn's campaign manager that Flinn didn't receive his invitations for the forums ~maybe her dog ate them~  And his implication that no one showed for them is flat-out wrong.  I was there for both.  Also, Mr. Sullivan's attempt to smear Bartlett City Alderman David Parsons by claiming that he hadn't responded to email or voice messages is questionable.  Maybe Mr. Sullivan should allow more than 10 or 15 minutes for a response.   ~This is a common tactic used by the media.~   As far as Mr. Sullivan's other quotes and sources; I just know ~and most people know~ that you can get the answers you want by the way you word the questions or by omitting part of answers. 


The bottom line is Charlotte Bergmann is the Congressional candidate that CongressCritter Cohen fears; not George Flinn with all of his campaign cash.  This is just the latest round of flak that Charlotte Bergmann is receiving.
