Sixty-five congress members, including 60 Democrats and 5 Republicans, voted to end the occupation of Afghanistan on Wednesday. But 356 congress members, including 189 Democrats and 167 Republicans voted to keep the war going. The vote followed three hours of debate created by Congressman Dennis Kucinich's introduction of a privileged resolution. The debate featured three leaders from three groups of congress members: the war opponents (almost all Democrats), the pro-war Democrats, and the pro-war Republicans. Given this alignment, which has existed for nearly a decade now, is there any reason for supporters of peace and justice to take heart? I think so. Here's why: If the 60 Democrats acted in good faith and would have voted the s... more

To many people, the image of a monkey's face peering out from an astronaut's helmet is comically absurd and more suitable for the cover of MAD magazine than any reputable academic journal or serious government publication. To others, pictures of terrified monkeys and chimpanzees strapped into spaceships are tragic artifacts of a less enlightened time. But just when we think that we've left science fiction behind, it sneaks up from behind and bites us. While the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is no longer going to the bizarre lengths of actually sending monkeys into space, it is currently planning to fund another cruel and pointless experiment on this planet. The agency has announced that it will spend $1.75 mill... more

Lebanese politicians and leaders from rival parties are scheduled to engage tomorrow, March 09/10 in a new national dialogue session at the presidential palace under the chairmanship of President Michel Suleiman to look into means and ways that could ultimately lead to the disarmament of the Hezbollah terrorist Iranian militia and give the Lebanese central government the sole authority on the decision making process of war and peace. Hezbollah is insisting that the fate of its weapons is not on the table by any means, and arrogantly is calling on all the Arab countries to adopt its role model of resistance against Israel and abandon hope of reaching peace with Israel via negotiations. Meanwhile, several top notch Hezbollah leaders ha... more

The health insurance bill currently under consideration in Congress would forbid states from providing their residents with healthcare. An amendment correcting that problem was passed in committee last July and then quietly removed. A new campaign is asking the Democrats who voted for that amendment to withhold their votes on the bill until it is reinstated. Several states' legislatures are close to enacting single-payer healthcare bills. This is a complete healthcare solution that eliminates the for-profit insurance industry, lowers the cost of pharmaceuticals, reduces bureaucracy, and provides universal coverage. As President Obama explains: "Now, the truth is that, unless you have a — what’s called a single-payer ... more

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, John Barrasso and Representative Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo., made the following comments following the announcement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that the sage grouse would be warranted, but precluded for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). "If it isn't one thing it is another with the sage grouse listing. The State of Wyoming, its industries and its citizens have worked tirelessly to protect the sage grouse and avoid an ESA listing. More unpredictability in this ruling means more uncertainty for Wyoming jobs," said Enzi. "Wyoming companies need certainty to make investments that will create thousands of jobs, and provide energy security for Am... more

Legislation stops unfunded mandates for drinking water Washington, D.C. ... Idaho Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch are co-sponsoring legislation that would ensure that smaller water systems have the resources necessary to deliver safe drinking water to consumers and comply with federal regulations. The Small System Drinking Water Act, S. 3038, is especially needed in smaller, less-populated states such as Idaho, the Senators said. Crapo, the Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Wildlife and Water, joined Risch, EPW Committee Ranking Member James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), and Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana) in introducing the bill. The legislation would modify the Safe Drinking Water Act to make s... more

WASHINGTON—U.S. Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.) issued the following statement on President Obama's latest government takeover of healthcare proposal. "I'm concerned the president may be suffering from hearing loss," said Tiahrt. "The American people are yelling against the Democrat's healthcare proposals, and the president comes back with a new plan that costs $79 billion more than the old one. It's as if the townhall meetings and recent elections never happened. "Raising taxes, crushing jobs, funding abortions, and taking away American's freedom to choose the healthcare plan that best meets their needs is not a plan we will support. The American people strongly rejected these massive tax-and-spend proposals last summer, and w... more

(Washington, DC) -- Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-Miramar) introduced a resolution that recognizes the Senate Armed Services Committee's hearing on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and the testimony of Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Admiral Michael G. Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the hearing, as an important first step towards equality in the Armed Forces. Furthermore, Hastings' resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the discriminatory law should be repealed in 2010. "The misguided policy known as Don't Ask, Don't Tell is yet another enemy to fight at a time when we are strained in two wars. In 2009 alone, we lost 428 service members to Don't Ask, Don't Tell at the estimated cost of o... more

Reckless, record-breaking spending in Washington is crippling America's financial future. Rhetoric alone is certainly not going to fix the spending spree that lawmakers have taken part in for entirely too long. While it is important to study history so we do not make the same mistakes from our past, I believe the across-the-aisle finger-pointing and arguments about which political party incurred the most debt is nothing but a Washington-style waste of time. During these trying economic times, American families have gathered around their kitchen tables to reprioritize their family budgets and make cuts where they can. With the national debt continuing to soar ... threatening our national security with China as the largest foreign creditor... more

Washington, D.C. ... Representative Adam Schiff, a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, returned from a weeklong trip where he visited American troops in Afghanistan and had an extended meeting with General Stanley McChrystal. Schiff travelled to Kandahar province, Kabul and Bagram -- getting a firsthand update on the offensive in Marjah, as well as efforts to train Afghan police and government officials. During the visit, Schiff had several meals with troops from California, and flew in a C-130 piloted by California Air National Guardsmen. On the return trip, the Congressman visited injured servicemembers who were being treated at the American military base in Ramstein, Germany. "I could not have been more im... more

11 airports receive funds from Department of Transportation Washington, D.C. ... U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, John Barrasso and Representative Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo., said that 11 Wyoming airports will improve travel through the state's skies and better meet increasing transportation needs in rural areas thanks to more than $7.3 million recently awarded in grants. The Department of Transportation is distributing grants through the Federal Aviation Administration to airports in Afton, Casper, Cheyenne, Fort Bridger, Hulett, Jackson, Kemmerer, Newcastle, Riverton, Rock Springs, and Sheridan. "These funds help Wyoming airports keep up with increasing air traffic and help promote travel throughout our beautiful state. Funding our air... more

Washington, D.C. ... U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, issued the following statement in response to the President's Letter to Congressional Leaders on Health Insurance Reform: "The President's bill is polarizing because it was put together by the Democrats and handed to us as the final and only answer. We are still seeing some window dressing to convince America that the majority is right. America didn't buy it. They read the big print (and the little print) whenever the bills were finally printed. "I'm disappointed that the President wants to keep the enormous challenge of reforming health care trapped in a bill that won't work and isn't winning... more

Having lived on the "North Coast" of America my whole life, I share Ohioans' deep appreciation for Lake Erie and the Great Lakes. Great Lakes Day in Washington, D.C. was this past week ... a time to recognize the unique and important natural resource the Lakes are to Ohio and the entire region. The Great Lakes are a centerpiece of the American landscape and they must be protected not just for this generation, but also for generations to come. When I was first elected to the state legislature in 1966, I saw firsthand the effects of pollution in Lake Erie and the surrounding region. I was truly startled by the dramatic toll that human carelessness was taking on such a magnificent natural resource ... Lake Erie was the international poster... more

Washington, D.C. ... The Wyoming Congressional Delegation received an 'A' grade for fiscal responsibility in 2009 for their commitment to reducing federal spending, taxes, debt and regulation. U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, John Barrasso and Representative Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo., received the Taxpayers' Friend Award based on a report card issued by the National Taxpayers Union (NTU.) They ranked on top while 267 senators and representatives received an 'F.' Wyoming is the only state to have all of its Members of Congress receive an 'A' in 2009. Enzi, Barrasso and Lummis were of a few dozen U.S. Senators and Representatives to receive the 2009 Taxpayers' Friend Award for consistently voting to reduce and control the burden ... more

WASHINGTON, DC ... On Sunday, February 21st, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) hosted a town hall at Reseda High School, fielding questions from some of the approximately 800 hundred constituents who attended. Sherman has held over 100 town halls since coming to Congress. In January, Congressman Sherman conducted a Telephone Town Hall with nearly 5,000 Valley residents. Congressman Sherman provided a brief update about his work in Congress before responding to questions about major federal issues, including the condition of the economy, health care and terrorism. "Town hall meetings are critical to the public policy process, providing an opportunity for me to hear about the most pressing concerns in our community and to... more

WASHINGTON, DC—Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt reacted to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson's decision to slow implementation of greenhouse gas emissions regulations. "While postponing these backdoor regulations is a step in the right direction, I will not be satisfied until this plan is stopped completely," said Blunt. "These onerous regulations—no matter when they are implemented—will harm Missourians with more job-killing policies and bureaucratic red tape. This delay should be indefinite." In December 2009, the EPA announced an endangerment finding regarding greenhouse gas emissions, which opens the door for the Obama Administration to regulate these emissions under the Clean Air ... more

(WASHINGTON) ... U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced the House companion to the Iran Human Rights Sanctions Act, which would impose U.S. sanctions on persons complicit in human rights abuses against the people of Iran. Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), John Kyl (R-AZ), and Evan Bayh (D-IN) have sponsored the Senate version of this legislation. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen: "Make no mistake: the Iranian people want to live in freedom. And as their passion for freedom deepens, the brutal tactics of their oppressors are becoming even more severe. "This legislation puts America squarely on the side of the Iranian people and holds account... more

WASHINGTON—U.S. Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.) issued the following statement after meeting with top Pentagon officials to review the final Request for Proposal (RFP) for the KC-X aerial refueling tanker competition by the Department of Defense (DoD). Tiahrt participated in a briefing earlier in the day with Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Ashton Carter, and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley. "Following today's briefing, I am cautiously optimistic," said Tiahrt. "This is not the RFP I would have written but am pleased the proposal meets the needs of the warfighter and our national security. The Department of Defense made the right decision in ... more

With 70 GOP Bills, A Lack of Material Will Not be a Problem (Washington, D.C.) ... Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement highlighting what he would like to see during tomorrow's health care summit: "On Monday, four days before the coined 'bipartisan health care summit,' the White House jumped the gun and released their health care proposal before negotiations were scheduled to take place. The only thing to applaud about this health care proposal was the administration's move to embrace transparency and post it online. Other than that, we are left with yet another government takeover of health care that is full of job-killing tax increases and federal mandates. ... more

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) announced that the American Conservative Union (ACU), the country's oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization, released their Congressional Ratings 2009, which rates Tiahrt at a 96 % for 2009 and at a lifetime rating of 95.27 %. This is the highest lifetime ranking for any member of the Kansas delegation. The votes are ranked by the ACU with the purpose to create a "clear ideological distinction" between those casting them.
