Republicans Representatives Drunk with Power

Republican Rep. Bob Beauprez of Colorado said today that all of his seniors love the new Medicare Drug Benefit. Rep. Beauprez needs to hear from you on your opinions. Beauprez also likes to appear in military uniforms even though he had 3 deferrments. Apparently, Beauprez has appeared in a military uniform in 2003 and 2004. You may want to share your opinion of him appearing in military uniforms.

The administration's new budget calls for the elimination of the $255 social security death benefit. Why does this administration hate senior citizens? Why is Beauprez supporting all these cuts to senior citizens?

Republican Rep. Phil English of Erie, PA, certainly likes to travel, as long as someone else is paying. Which lobbyists are paying for his trips? Here is some information about English's travels:

U.S. Rep. Phil English, a six-term Republican from Erie, Pa., ranks eighth among 637 current and former federal lawmakers who have traveled the globe at private expense, according to the campaign finance experts at politicalmoneyline.com, who have compiled lawmakers' travel records for the past five years.

English has accepted more than $160,000 worth of free travel and lodging for 28 different excursions since 2000, including trips to Paris, Istanbul and Casablanca.

Holy cow! Shouldn't English be spending more time with constituents than lobbyists?

Republican Rep. Nancy Johnson of Connecticut: Why is she so hostile? Doesn't she want to hear the truth about the failures of the Medicare Drug Program?
