President Obama has spent the better part of his 3.5 years in office abusing the power of the presidency. Whether it's his administration not enforcing immigration laws, stopping the enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act or illegally placing a moratorium on offshore drilling, the list is long, troubling, and it keeps growing.
Just recently, President Obama chose yet again to dismiss the actions of Congress from more than 15 years ago by gutting the work requirements in the welfare reform bill of 1996. Just like that, he essentially rewrote this legislation and transformed its intent.
I was one of the authors of welfare reform that was the most significant piece of reform legislation in our history, signed into law by a democrat - President Bill Clinton.
This welfare bill ended a federal entitlement for the first time, and proved a success as welfare caseloads dropped by nearly half, and child poverty among affected groups plummeted.
But times have changed. Today, thanks to President Obama and big government, welfare has made a comeback. Now, 1 in 4 children in America is on food stamps and living in historically high levels of poverty.
Please join me in calling on President Obama to reverse the changes he made to welfare reform by signing our petition today.
I don't know about you, but I've had it with President Obama. Please make your voice heard by signing our petition today.
Let's keep fighting,
Rick Santorum
