U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (NC) joined with Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
in leading a letter with 16 other senators and senators-elect to Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid urging a delay in the implementation of the
medical device tax that is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2013.
"The medical technology industry directly employs over 400,000 people
in the United States and is responsible for a total of two million
high-skilled manufacturing jobs. Additionally, this industry is also
one of the few that enjoys a net trade surplus, significantly boosting
U.S. exports around the globe," the letter said. "As we work together to
develop a long-term solution to help move our economy forward, reduce
our debt and reform our tax code, we urge you to support delaying
enactment of this provision in a fiscally responsible manner."
"My number one priority is getting North Carolinians back to work,
and I am concerned about the effects of the planned medical device tax
in North Carolina," said Hagan. "The medical device industry is critical
to North Carolina's dynamic bioscience economy and when the tax was
first proposed, I opposed its adoption. Democrats and Republicans must
now work together to find a solution that does not harm our economic
recovery."
"On behalf of the North Carolina business community, I want to
express my concern over the threat that the medical device excise tax
imposes on this vital sector of our state's economy," said Lew Ebert,
president and CEO of the North Carolina Chamber. "We appreciate Senator
Hagan bringing this critical issue to the attention of Senate
leadership. A study done by AdvaMed shows that the planned
implementation of this tax could cost North Carolina hundreds of jobs
and an estimated $70 million in annual employment compensation. This
tax will cripple the bottom line of North Carolina companies, many of
which may not be able to survive this onslaught of taxation. Overall,
it will jeopardize jobs, the health of patients and the medical device
industry, nationwide."

Kay Hagan 3rd on the list of Senators capped to lose in 2014
3. North Carolina (D): Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) could
face a tough time in 2014 running in a state that gave its 15
electoral votes to Mitt Romney, elected a Republican governor, and
netted the GOP at least three seats in the House. What’s more, Hagan’s
approval rating is nothing to write home about. Democratic automated
pollster Public Policy Polling found earlier this month
that just 35 percent approved of the job she was doing, while 37
percent disapproved. Hagan, who unseated Republican Elizabeth Dole in
2008, should be among the senators most at risk in 2014.

Hagan on the Dream Act Fence! Call Today to Stop Amnesty
SENATE SWITCHBOARD -- 202-224-3121
PHONE THESE SENATORS TO VOTE 'NO' OR DREAM AMNESTY WILL PASS NEXT WEEK
Friends, we don't yet have the 41 sure NO votes that we must have to stop the DREAM Act amnesty in the Senate next week.
Pro-amnesty forces claim that their super-expensive, special toll-free telephone system processed 5,000 pro-amnesty phone calls to Senators yesterday.
They brag that they expect to be handling 10,000 pro-amnesty calls a day until the DREAM Act amnesty passes! Friends, we have to match them.
Please look at the target lists below and start phoning some Senators.
The pro-amnesty forces are throwing everything they have into beating us. And I'm talking tens of millions of dollars that are backing the nation's top union, religious, ethnic and academic leaders who are storming the offices of Congress with their last-minute, desperation push for this amnesty for an estimated 2.1 million illegal aliens.
YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED SEVERAL SENATORS INTO OPPOSING THE 'DREAM' AMNESTY
You are making in-roads with your faxes and your phone calls since Tuesday.
Some Senators who previously have supported the DREAM Act amnesty have now publicly stated that they oppose DREAM as part of the Defense bill! Congratulations to all of you for these turnarounds:
* Nelson (D-Neb.)
* Hagan (D-N.C.)
* McCain (R-Ariz.)
* Graham (R-S.C.)
* Bennett [R-Utah)
* Hatch (R-Utah)

Kay Hagan Agrees with President Obama Big Surprise!
Hagan Comments on President’s Remarks on Christmas Day Attempted Attack
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan (D-NC) today commented on President Obama's afternoon address about the Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack.
"As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, improving our national security and ensuring we have both the policies and resources we need to fight terrorism are among my top priorities. The attempted terror attack on Christmas Day was a stark reminder that our nation faces an enemy that is determined to cause us harm. I commend the courageous passengers who prevented completion of this horrific plan.
"The men and women of our intelligence agencies work tirelessly to protect our nation from terrorists. They frequently risk their own lives in service to our country, a point tragically driven home by the recent attack in Khost. However, given the information that was available about this violent extremist, I agree with President Obama that in this case, the intelligence community should have done more to connect the dots. I will be working with my colleagues in the Senate and the administration to ensure that we have the systems we need in place to protect Americans from terrorists."
