Dailey to Space: Actions Speak Louder than Words
December 11, 2009
(Mount Vernon, OH) - Congressional candidate Fred Dailey (OH-18) today released a statement following the approval of legislation, by a House Subcommittee, that would force the College Football Bowl Championship Series to switch to a playoff format.
“I do not believe that the role of Congress is to micromanage the NCAA and the Bowl Championship Series”, commented Dailey. “It seems that this Congress, including Congressman Zack Space, is determined to focus on everything but fixing our economy and creating a climate that will encourage job growth.
“During the committee hearing, Zack Space made a statement that he is concerned about the economy and job creation, saying that debating the BCS issue sends the “wrong message” to the American people. I agree with his words, but not his actions. If Space is so concerned with the economy, why did he vote for cap and trade, which is nothing less than an economic declaration of war on the Midwest? Why did he vote for a government takeover of our healthcare system? Why did he vote for spending bills that have put us further and further into debt?
“Zack Space continues to use rhetoric that does not match up with his actions, and his actions are speaking much louder than his empty words. The people of this district are frustrated and disgusted, much like I am, with a representative who continues to tell us he stands for one thing while voting for another.”
