Economy

Here's a great idea:
There is a plan floating around Washington to cut the budget 1% each year for EIGHT years and then institute a balanced budget Constitutional Ammendment.
How about cutting the budget 8% for ONE year... That way, it will all be done under this watch so that if it doesn't happen, we will know who to tar and feather!

Ethics

I just saw you on TV talking about legalizing online poker. You are introducing a bill to allow the US to join other nations who have already done this. This is a two part question. First what do you know from nations like Italy who have already done this, and... In your proposed legislation is there special language that plays favorites for companies like Las Vegas casinos or can anyone start a online poker site?

I support the legalization of online poker but I am just concerned that the government's oversight will either tax it too much or oversee the data of those playing and just make it too expensive to play. What I am saying is just about anything the government takes over, they screw up.

As a Member of the Tea Party Caucus I will expect you to stand up to Obama and the Democrats. Do not raise the Debt Ceiling force them to present a Budget with a minimum of 4 - 6 TRILLION dollars !

I have a question about the Terrorist being tried in New York City and think it's just plain DUMB! I listened to Senator Diane Feinstein on Meet the Press and she said it would show the world the American Justice system works. This is so wrong. This is a no-win deal because if he is convicted, the people who hate America will say it's fixed. If he wins he will not be released. Can you do anything to please stop this waste of time and more hard earned American Tax payer money.

I read in the news today that there is a possibility that the "detainees" (Terrorists) will be brought into the Continental United States when Guantanamo Bay is closed. I won't get into how I feel about the closing but I do want a promise from you. Will you promise me that if the Guantanamo inmates are imported to these United States they will not step foot in Texas but will go to that corrupt State of Illinois where the crooks and political con-men should make them feel right at home!
