Subject: [JBirch] CAFTA and *The Best (?) Representatives Money Can
Buy!!!*
*The Best (?) Representatives Money Can Buy!!!*
Albert V. Burns
"At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans yesterday, Rep. Bill Thomas
(Calif.) sidled up to the lectern and hinted that the leadership might look
more favorably on lawmakers' requests for highways and bridges if they vote for
the Central American Free Trade Agreement, according to three GOP witnesses."/*
(The Washington Post, July 21, 2005)
"According to the administration and House aides, the White House has
authorized Republican leaders to secure votes with whatever is at hand, from
amendments [read pork-barrel projects in their respective districts] to the
highway and energy bills to the still incomplete appropriations bills."/* (The
Washington Post, July 21, 2005)
[In other words, "Want that highway project back home? You had better vote for
CAFTA. Want that new bridge? You had better vote for CAFTA even though you
know it is bad for America."
One of the first House members to be bought off was Congressman Phil English
(R-Penn.). Mr. English had always opposed CAFTA, but just a few days ago he
sold out. He now says he is "comfortable" voting for CAFTA. This puts the
pro-CAFTA forces one critical vote closer to
having the 218 votes they need to pass it in the U.S. House.
What's the vote count? According to Congress Daily, 105 House members will
vote "yes" or are leaning to vote "yes" on CAFTA with 166 members who will vote
"no" or are leaning to vote "no." That leaves 163 House members who are
undecided or aren't saying. To stop CAFTA, we
must convince at least 53 of those 163 members to vote against CAFTA.] /Quoted
from Liberty Committee Newletter./
What a sorry commentary on our American Congress that such a stories can even
be written in the press or in a newsletter. What has happened to integrity in
this country? I realize that politicians, as a general rule, are extremely
pragmatic, even venal in their approach to voting
for or against legislation.
In actuality, the sad commentary is about the American public as a whole that
will accept such an abominable picture of our government as it presently
exists in Washington, DC. Sadly, the average American reads stories in the
press about such power plays in the House or the
Senate but never realizes that, almost without exception, the "tar brush"
applies to the man or woman he or she helped vote into office - repeatedly!
How much did YOUR congressman's vote cost? How much is that vote going to
cost the United States in the long run?
If YOUR congressman or woman votes FOR CAFTA, will YOU ask him or her those
questions? Actually, you had better ask those questions NOW - BEFORE the vote
is taken. After the vote may well be too late!!!
