Friend,

Lack of access to nutritious foods like fresh fruits and vegetables has become a significant public health issue in the United States.  Unfortunately, an estimated 23.5 million Americans live in food deserts – communities where there is limited or no access to foods necessary to maintain a healthy diet.

The proliferation of food deserts has played a significant role in the growth of childhood obesity rates, which have more than tripled in the past 30 years.  With obesity related health care now costing our nation over $147 billion annually, the growth in childhood obesity has an extremely detrimental impact on America’s future economic outlook.

Congressman Joe Baca: Free preventative care provisions will soon go into effect

Dear Friend,

I am pleased to share with you new provisions of health care reform that will make preventive care more accessible and affordable. These new regulations, authorized by the Affordable Care Act, require new health plans to cover preventive services at no cost to the patient. Americans currently use preventive services at only half of the recommended rate because of their prohibitive costs.

Comprehensive preventive care can save billions of dollars and thousands of lives. According to statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), seven in ten deaths in America result from chronic and often preventable diseases. HHS data also shows that 69 million workers report missed days due to illness each year, which reduces economic output in this country by $260 billion per year. I believe we must do better, and this historic health reform legislation will keep many Americans, especially Inland residents, healthier and save our nation money in the long run.

Upcoming Events: The places you need to be

Joe Baca Saturday

Over the last month there has been several indicators that big Joe Baca is scared of Scott and ultimately the wrath of you the voters.

1. Joe responded to a letter Scott wrote criticizing Baca’s diatribe on how great Obama care will be for America. Generally, incumbents do not respond to no name, no money challengers like this unless they are concerned about that persons chances of defeating them.

2. Joe Baca has sent out some campaign volunteers to walk precincts in San Bernardino. While Joe generally walks precincts in a general election, this is the first time he has ever walked precincts in a uncontested primary.

3. Joe Baca’s popularity with the DNC has never been great (remember the whole Sanchez whore comment) and with this year looking like a tough fight for the DNC, the likelihood of the DNC riding in to save him, who they do not like when they desperately need to save people in the party they do like, is not very good.

4. Baca has been consistently criticized by people in letters to the editor in both the Sun and the Press Enterprise for the last several weeks for his views on illegal immigration, cap and trade, and health care. Continue reading →

REPEALING ANTITRUST EXEMPTIONS FOR HEALTH INSURERS

Dear Friend:

Last week, I joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives to support legislation that will create greater competition in the health insurance market, and end the unfair antitrust advantage that health insurers have relied on to exorbitantly raise premium rates.  H.R. 4626, the Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act, was approved by the House with a 406 to 19 vote.

The passage of this legislation is an important victory for hard working American families.  For too long the health insurance industry has been allowed to play by a different set of rules.  By repealing the blanket antitrust exemption given to insurance companies, this bill restores competition and transparency to the health market.

SUPPORTING RELIEF EFFORTS IN HAITI

Dear Friend:

Last month, I joined my colleagues in the House of Representatives in co-sponsoring and passing legislation that will encourage more charitable contributions to Haiti, by changing current law to speed up tax deductions.  The bill, H.R. 4462, was unanimously approved by the House.

With over 230,000 deaths and close to a million people left homeless, the people of Haiti need any and all help they can receive. While this bill marks a small change in tax law, it is an important step to encourage more immediate charitable contributions to our suffering neighbors in Haiti.  Now all charitable contributions made to Continue reading →

Pamela Zander: Campaign to Replace Joe Baca

Good Afternoon,

I am running for the 43rd Dist. (Baca’s Seat) and would love to get your support.

As a strong Republican, I believe our Constitutional Principles, are being threatened by the factions of a Socialist mind and trying to bring balance to a divided House is difficult; however, with conviction of values fixed deep within my soul, I have been “on a mission”, to exalt this position, as set forth by the Oath everyone takes when signing in for the Office.

Why am I interested in such an office, you might ask?

1. The convergence of interest and morality, has brought an enormous disadvantage to Congress, as our Economic Infrastructure wanes in the balance of a once, wealthy nation.

2. The moral and virtuous framework of our freedoms with respect to liberty, justice and the over-all respect of property seems to be by the demand of the current administration and not by the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence.

3. I would like to implement the ethical traditions of our Constitution, which once was the driving force of “EXCELLENCE” in the US. Continue reading →
