Citizens Against Government Waste endorsed Bill Cassidy for election to Congress because he is a "bona fide conservative committed to reducing the size of government by working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse."

“In this time of massive new government spending and bailouts, huge budget deficits, public debt, and inefficient bureaucracies, taxpayers need friends in Washington who will defend their interests, not the special interests,” said Thomas Schatz, Chairman of CCAGW PAC. “That is why CCAGW PAC supports Bill Cassidy, who is a bona fide fiscal conservative committed to reducing the size of government by working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Bill Cassidy has a been principled advocates for lower taxes and smaller government. He received a score of 92 percent in the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste’s (CCAGW) 2009 Congressional Ratings, earning the rank of Taxpayer Hero. “The CCAGW Congressional Ratings verifies that Bill Cassidy will seek ways to control spending, fight for lower taxes, and eradicate wasteful programs,” declared Schatz.

“In the current political and fiscal climate, Congress has engaged in a historically unprecedented level of spending, and is supporting actions that will mortgage our children’s futures. On November 2, 2010 voters in Louisiana should support Bill Cassidy so that he can fight for fiscally conservative principles that are vital to the taxpayers in the 112th Congress,” concluded Schatz.
