DIRECTOR
I am a free lance writer. I currently have part I of HR 3200 ready for publishing. It is written in common-speak and does not require a dictionary to read.
You can use it free if you will place it on your website or E-mail it to your members list.
Question: which of the listed U.S. Representatives and Senators listed above have enacted legislation which violates the 10th Amendment, erodes Texas state sovereignty and enables federal government overreach?
Answer: all of them.
So, why has this important issue conveniently been omitted from the rankings? I suspect because the Tea Party is willing to compromise its credibility in exchange for partisanship.
Sounds like politics as usual to me.
Dear Sirs:
We need this information (Tea Party Approval) before the early elections start. Not the day before the regular election.
Thanks,
Art Rutherford
Art, the emails first went out on Sunday, and the post was up then. Our vetting tieam gat a bit of a late start (too many elections!), but they got it done before Early voting ended.
[...] these ‘accommodaters’ in Austin (including our own State Senator, Florence Shapiro, whose fiscal rating can be found here) and in [...]
YOu should consider ratings instead by the bi-partisan Citizens Against Government Waste, The John Birch Society, and Liberty Lobby. All three are MUCH harsher on Republicans than the so-called American Conservative Union. Any ratings system where Hensarling and Sam Johnson are the top two is HIGHLY flawed. Both “gentlemen” were amongst the 3/4 of GOP Congress-critters who voted FOR Ryan’s pathetic budget “cut” which merely rolled back proposed 2011 INCREASES, and cut only 800 million, tops. 59 GOP Congress-critters had the decency to vote AGAINST Ryan’s bill, saying we needed MORE cuts. Sam Johnson voted for the Kennedy Bill jokingly called Leaving No Child Behind, and the Prescription Drug Parte D racket, both totalling $140 billion a year. When you add on the $120 billion per year for Iraq, that’s $260 billion. All Obama did was triple down with his $787 billion, add that to the $260 billion a year “conservatives” like Hensarling and Johnson gave us, so we now have a trillion a year of wasted money.
