Tim Bishop needs to stop playing the cynical games of a career politician and fulfill his moral responsibility to his constituents and the American people. It's understandable that Tim Bishop would like to distance himself from the 2011 federal budget because it's filled with earmarks, pork and waste; it will lead to higher taxes and a bigger deficit and when the American people catch wind of it will lead to defeat at the polls for those who support it.

In reference to the House Budget Committee, Tim Bishop's congressional website states, 'he (Bishop) works to restore fiscal discipline and set national priorities'. If Congressman Bishop truly wanted to restore fiscal discipline to Washington he would immediately call on Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat leadership to stop the stalling and move the budget process forward. The American people deserve to see this budget because it is awash in red ink and shows that Nancy Pelosi, Tim Bishop and the Democrat leadership are at polar opposites with an American public that is demanding fiscal restraint and bare bones spending in an era of economic crisis.

Throughout Suffolk County, families have sat around the kitchen table cutting waste and shrinking spending in their household budgets. They've made the hard decisions to make the deep cuts and enormous sacrifices needed to balance their personal budgets. It's time Tim Bishop listened to his constituents and did the same.
