Joe Pitts There is a movement underway in Washington to take away the right of the secret ballot from American workers. The Orwellian named "Employee Free Choice Act" is a bill that would allow for the establishment of a union if a majority of employees at a company signs a card as a measure of their support for unionization. No, Hillary, There Will Never Be A Two State Solution Gary Cooperberg Notwithstanding the sincere desire of American politicians to achieve a genuine peace in the Middle East and notwithstanding the special relationship between Israel and the United States, there should be certain red lines which no Israeli politician dare cross. For an American Secretary of State to come to Israel and declare the inevitability of eventually carving out a new terrorist state on Jewish soil is such a red line. Is Spending the Answer? Ron Paul This week, Congress and the administration once again showed their lack of economic understanding, as they ramped up spending to record levels. On the surface, maybe it does look to some like the economic crisis is a liquidity problem, that the economy is in trouble because money is not changing hands at the pace it once did in the boom years. Unconstitutional Representation Jon Kyl Congress has long recognized that it can only grant residents of the nation’s capital the ability to participate in federal elections through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Prior to 1961, for example, residents of the District of Columbia were not permitted to vote in presidential elections. Where Is The Fiscal Restraint? Joe Pitts "This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected." - President Obama, during his summit on fiscal responsibility at the White House. In spite of the rhetoric from the President, government spending is completely out of control in Washington. Adar, the Month of Joy and Redemption Gary Cooperberg How fitting that we find ourselves waiting for a new government at the beginning of the month of Adar. This fact is probably the most hopeful element in that close to futile effort. The month of Adar is the month in which the holiday of Purim occurs and thus it invokes the hope of G-dly intervention in favor of the Jewish People. No matter how bad things may appear, this is a time of joy and hope. On Transparency of the Fed Ron Paul This week the Federal Reserve responded to the American people’s increased concerns over our monetary policy by presenting new initiatives aimed at enhancing the Fed’s transparency and accountability. As someone who has called for more openness from the Fed for over 30 years, I was pleased to see the Fed acknowledge the legitimacy of this need. Resolution for a Real Stimulus Jon Kyl On February 11, Senator McCain and I reintroduced the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act (S. 409), culminating several years of negotiation among many parties. I have sponsored this legislation in previous sessions of Congress, but it is very important that this bill pass as soon as possible.
