H.R. 627 Credit Card Holders Bill of Rights Act. Boy doesn't this sound impressive? What your fine representatives have done is passed a bill to protect the deadbeats that do not pay their bills and keep the credit card companies from punishing them. That is all fine and dandy until you notice that the interest rate for customers that do pay their bills are getting jacked up. Bottom line is the bill protects those that do not pay, so congress feels we that do pay can pick up the extra charges in increased interest rates. Another waste of time, and burden on the solid citizens. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.

S CON RES 13 This is the budget bill reconcilliation with the Senate. Theis is one of the bills that will help quadruple our debt and lower the living standards for the next two or three generations. This alone should be grounds to replace everyone that voted for it. DAVID VOTED YES FOR THIS RECONCILLIATION.

H.R. 46 Family Self-Sufficiency Act of 2009. This appears to be another of those housekeeping items. No real cost involved. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.

H.R.1913 Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Act. Here is a bill that we do not need. This is a states issue and I believe every state has some sort of hate crime laws. The interesting thing if I remember correctly it includes protection of child molesters. Now that is something we need. DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.

H.R. 1243 is an act to give Arnold Palmer a gold medal for his contribution to golf andn good sportsmanship. Arnold deserves this but do we really need to waste our time with this? Could this not have been handled without a bill? DAVID VOTED FOR THIS BILL.

H.R. 1595 Another post office dedication. See above. DAVID VITED FOR THIS BILL.

H.R.1746 Pre-disaster Mitigation Act of 2009. THis $770,000,000.00 bill is to provide funding for a disaster to take steps before the event occurs. It will be distributed through FEMA and while it is a pretty good chunk, probably needed.
