Rep. Sam Graves-This Week In Washington
Posted: October 21, 2009 in Congressman Sam Graves, This Week in WashingtonTags: Clay County Missouri, Congressman Sam Graves, defense spending, GITMO, hate crimes legislation, health care, HR 2442, HR 2647, HR 2892, HR 2997, Iran, Max Baucus, Missouri, Small Business Committee, This Week in Washington, US House of Representatives
Below are two editions of Representative Graves weekly recap of the legislation that is moving through the House in WADC. Freedom beware, the Congress is in session.
First up is the October 8th edition. Every American should be furious about the use of a Defense Authorization Bill to pass the Hate Crimes Legislation. More of the majority and their reaching out to the other side… and grabbing our arm twisting it behind our back shoving it as far up as they can and saying “see isn’t bi-partisanship great?” For those that don’t get why the Hate Crimes bill is such a waste is because all crimes are hate crimes and we should not treat crimes differently. There is also some concern that this bill may limit free speech.
Next up is the October 15th edition. In it President Obama proves yet again how he lies, the Baucus bill includes a tax increase for those under $250,000. The majority party proves that it does not care how much harm it causes in HR 2442.On a positive note 414 congressman voted to sanction Iran. Proof that every squirrel can find a nut once in a while.
