After my stunning appearance at the Press Gallery I sent out this email:
Dear XXXXXXXX, How are we going to pay for it? Simply put, it’s critical that we address those concerns and ensure that we’re being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.
Remember, we only ask this question of Democrat Presidential priorities, never of magical Republican voodoo tax cuts. Only Nono Goposaur has magic pixie dust that makes deficits invisible for eight years. Sorry it wore off.
And that’s also why I was shocked by this week’s reports of misconduct by ACORN, an organization which has received more than $50 million in taxpayer subsidies.
Shocked, shocked, I say, that this organization the Pres. Bush funded over his eight years for about $40 million of that $50 million would accused of having a few bad employees, you know like that whole torture thing, just a few bad apples. And that they were taped like ABC taped Food Lion bleaching bad pork. And those reporters should be found guilty and fined. Never mind.
In the aftermath of the $700 billion financial rescue, the AIG affair and others, our plan puts a premium on ending taxpayer funded bailouts of failed firms. Simply put, we cannot continue to have taxpayers foot the bill for the poor decisions of others.
Now, you don't remember that is was the guy who visited every Fourth of July so we could hang out together, who started all this, do you? And isn't it sweet how I get to vote last, and am protected from this hard votes that the boys took?
And just yesterday I joined a wide bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives in supporting a measure to halt the flow of federal tax dollars to ACORN because the behavior exhibited on the recently-surfaced videos simply isn’t acceptable for an organization receiving taxpayer support.
Because after they lost $9,000 million in Iraq due to sloppy accounting I did not care about, we need that $50 million for things like my earmarks. Isn't it nice that the Democrat Chairman stuck up for me. Then I voted NO on the final bill. A girl has to do what a girl has to do.
# Flake #5: Eliminates $250,000 in project funding for construction and renovation of the welcome center at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia. This project will replace a trailer facility and improve the image and functionality of the park for tourists. Rep. Capito requested this project.
Chairman Obey recommends that Members VOTE NO.
But support increased Pell Grants or reduced costs to the taxpayers for federally backed student loans or increased support for community colleges? See you soon at the Blue Ridge Community and Technical College! ACORN! Wolverines!
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact my office with your thoughts, ideas and concerns. It’s an honor to serve you and your family.
Arr, shiver me timbers. |
