Vote today on H.R.1404. This is a bill that establishes a fund to deal with wildfires in parks. It is going to cost some money but it appears to be based on an estimate of the the actual damage and clean up. At this point it is not funded. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.
Wedensday March 25, 2009
H.R.146 is a bill to authorize the purchase of lands for the park service that were associated with the revolutionary war and the war of 1812. At this time congress authorized 10,000,000 for 2010 and 2014 to be spent to aquire these properties. We need to perserve these lands for future generations. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THIS BILL.

H.R. 730 sets up a nuclear forensics team to investigate the use of nuclear weapons. I guess considering the administration is ignoring the race by Korea and Iran to obtain a nuclear devices we might as well have a department to figure out where the attack on America came from, as it inevetively will. It probably would make more sense to stop the proliferation of nuclear devices, but I guess the administration does not see any reason to do that. DAVID VOTE FOR THIS BILL.
H.R. 1617 this bill looks to be house keeping for the homeland security department. It defines the duties of the department. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.
Monday March 23, 2009
H.R. 918 and 1218 are bills that name post offices. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THESE BILLS.

Bill H.R.1586 Impose additional tax on bonus received from certain TARP recipients. This bill in effect taxed the AIG bonus payout to employees at a rate of 90%. For starters this is unconstitutional, a company that has contracts is bound by law to fufill them. Even though it is unpopular the rule of law has to take precedent. This bill is kind of like what happens at night when you turn on a light and the roaches scurry for cover. Our great congressman voted for the so called stimulus bill, and if you want to go back to the February 13 post you will see that the congress passed this bill without reading it. Senator Dodd, democrat, added to the bill the provision to pay these bonuses to the AIG employees. Our wonderful congressman never read the bill and voted for it. Now just like the roaches they are trying to hide by passing this joke. It has no chance of going anywhere, it is just so he can say he voted to take the bonuses away. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THIS BILL.

H.R. 1388 Genreation Invigorating Voulenteerism and Education Act. Just another way to spend another 6 billion for 2010-2014, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. While this is all nice, we happen to be spiraling toward bankruptcy and we need to stop blowing money for programs that have questionable value like this one. I have no problem with this act, but first let's balance the budget, then look at these types of programs. Of course DAVID VOTED YES FOR THIS SPENDING BILL.
Tuesday March 17, 2009
H.R.628 To enhance the expertise in patent cases among District Judges. This appears to have little if any spending but is necessary to maintain the integrity of the courts. I see nothing wrong with this and could not find any cost information. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THIS BILL.
Monday March 16, 2009
H.R. 1284, 1217, 987 were all post office namings, no money attached. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THESE BILLS.

Kind of a slow week, H.R. 1262 Federal Water Pollution Control Act was voted on. Here we have another 17.7 Billion spent over ten years. The Congressional Budget Office projected this effect on the budget. While pollution control is necessary, I have to question whether we need to spend this much. Looking at the bill I see a number of worthwhile projects and some that are catch alls that are used to have extra money floating around when the overruns start. I am sure you all know the drill. DAVID VOTED YES ON H.R. 1262. We are now into the year over 60 days and there has not been one spending bill that David has not voted for. It makes me wonder who he owes his allegience to, spending like this sure does not help future generations.
Tuesday March 10, 2009
Today H. R. 813 & 842 were passed. These were post office namings that cost nothing. DAVID VOTED FOR BOTH OF THESE BILLS.
Monday March 9, 2009
Today H.R. 131 the Ronald Reagan Centenial Commission Act was voted on. Surprise! There is zero federal money spent on this bill. That is a shocker. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.

Today H.R. 1106 was passed. This bill takes taxpayers money, about 8 billion, and pays mortgages for those people that got themselves into mortgages they cannot pay for. Of course there is no help for the 96%+ that pay their mortgages on time. Feel like a sucker? I can understand helping people that have lost their jobs and cannot pay for their houses, but I have a problem with people that are not paying their mortgages and the government using taxpayer funds to bail them out. Perhaps it would have been better if the government had the banks refinance at say a 4% rate and let the homeowner pay even if the property is worth less than the mortgage. The day will come when property values start to increase and that will become a good mortgage. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.
Monday March 3, 2009
Today the bills voted on were H.R.146 and H.R.548. Both passed and were for the preservation of the reveloutionary war and war of 1812 battlerfields, and the preservation of civil war battlefields to the tune of $550 million dollars. This is something, while the spending of money is of concern, needs to be done to save battlefields from development. Both Passed. DAVID VOTED FOR BOTH BILLS.

H.R.1105, the Omnibus Appropriations for 2009, here is another gigantic pork bill spending billions of your tax money. I believe this is the bill that had over 8000 earmarks in it. If you remember the president said during his campaign that he would not sign bills loaded with pork. Seems he conveniently forgot that promise as well as many others and he has not been in office 60 days yet. The Congressional Budget Office did not issue a report on the cost of this bill but the news media pegs it at over $400,000,000,000.00. Does this kind of spending make anyone nervous?
One thing worth noting, David and his democratic brethern are spending money at such a clip that the we will be broke before the end of the year. Our children and grandchildren will suffer a lower standard of living because of the excess spending by this congress. The republicans are powerless because the democrats have such a majority and will not allow the republicans to offer alternative bills or amnedments. So remember when your taxes go up, the cost of living takes off with double digit inflation you can vote the bums out of office. Of course you already know DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.
Well that is about it for the week, but get ready they are prepearing to allow you to make the payments on home forclosures. That ought to be a great big spending bill as well.
Tuesday February 24, 2009
Two more bills, H.R. 80 and H.R.637, passed today. H.R. 80 looks to be a bill to clean up some shortages regarding captive primates. It includes another 5 million of your tax dollars for the U.S. fish and wildlife to hire law enforcement.
H.R. 637, South Orange County Recycled Water Act, gives 23,500,000 to southern Califirnia for recyled/reclaimed water plants. Hey it's only money, your tax money. There are some of these projects that need to be funded by the Federal Government and this is probably one of them. DAVID VOTED FOR BOTH OF THESE BILLS.
Monday February 23, 2009
Today there were votes on a few bills, H.R. 911, H.R 44, and H.R. 601. H.R.911 Stop child abuse in residential programs for teens. While it sounds good, your cost for 2010 according to the congressional budget office, 250 million. It appears to be another fact gathering mission like the bill covering the police passed previously. You have to wonder why they need so much information.
H.R. 44, Guam world war II loyalty act. While sounds like a nice thing, I for one wonder why sixty plus years after the fact we are doling out money to families of veterans. Just appears to be another way to spend more money that we do not have, don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect for wwII vets, but we really do not have the money to be doing these kind of things after 60 years?
H.R. 601, Box Elder Utah Land Conveyance Act. It appears this is simply the giving of park land to Box Elder county in Utah. For once a bill that does not cost us millions of dollars! Imagine that. Oh, I almost forgot S. 234, the renaming of a post office passed.
DAVID VOTED YES FOR ALL OF THESE BILLS.
