Nancy Pelosi's 110th Congress with the lowest public approval numbers of any Congress since Gallup began tracking Congressional Approval is standing at a record low of 14% with such low numbers...Democrats Liberally helped themselves inside your Wallet for these Earmarks:
$1.5 Million Dollars for the completion of exhibits at California National Historic Trail Interpretive Center, 1 of 9 Earmarks worth $5.7 Million Dollars that Harry Reid (D-NV) obtained for Nevada;
$21.763 Million Dollars requested by Robert Byrd (D-WV) of these Earmarks $1 Million for the Leetown Science Center and $450,000. for Trail Improvements at the Monongahela Natl. Forest;
$2 Million Dollars for the Charles Rangel (D-NY) Center for Public Service Bldg. in Harlem. The Center is aimed at steering low income and minority students into politics;
$3.8 Million Dollars for the replacement of a glass wall at the Kennedy Center Grand Foyer;
Maria Cantwell (D-WA) & Patty Murray (D-WA) steered $1 Million Dollars for Spatina Grass Education at Washington State Willapa Natl. Wildlife Refuge.
During his 16 years in Congress, John Boehner (R-OH) has never requested an Earmark.
In March, Congressional Democrats moved Spending Bills to the Floor for Votes, these included: $25 Million to help Spinach Farmers in California; $75 Million Dollars for Peanut Storage in Georgia; $15 Million Dollars to protect Louisiana Rice fields from Salt Water
In other Congressional Business: Democrats have launched over 300 Congressional investigations and have sent the White House over 350 requests for documents and have had over 600 Congressional Over Sight Hearings since Democrats took over Congress 7 months ago.
On July 11, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) and Mark Steven Kirk (R-IL) have introduced HR 2964 which seeks to halt the commerce in Monkeys. Rep. Johnson says that this legislation is vital because, "...Primates are highly intelligent...this legislation responds to a matter of public health...the animals deserve to live where their needs will be met and their conditions will be monitored..." (Monitoring Monkeys conditions, sounds like another plan in the making to spend more money)
Congressional Democrats claim that Voters gave them a mandate to change the way the GOP had run Congress. Liberals are eager to show the American people that they are different than Conservatives.
