The Washington Guardian revealed many of the 2010 Tea Party candidates who won their seats in the House claimed Franking (taxpayer money) waste by incumbents. Now according to reports they are using the Franking system at higher levels. How can regular Americans trust any politician?

Should the government keep increasing Homeland Security spending when the threat from al-Qaida is diminishing or is it time to rein the size of the department?

As an elected official and representative of our district, what are you doing to create more jobs and decrease unemployment in Orange County?

I reckon that if the public really wanted "high speed rail" they would be willing to pay for it without being taxed. In other words, if it needs to be subsidized, we don't need it. It must be able to operate at a profit without being subsidized.

Do you agree that illegal immigrants should be provided the opportunity to attend colleges at in-state residency rates when true citizens are required to pay three times that amount if their permanent residence is in another state, as opposed to another country?

I don't agree but I am sure Loretta does! She is after all a California Politician and this is a sanctuary state... :-(

Of course she does

I do not agree that illegals should have any help with collage or anything else that we don't provide for our own citizens! It is time to focus on our country for a change and stop all foreign aide until our own problems are solved! By the way way, would like to thank all the countries that have helped us through all the natural disasters we have been dealing with for several months.I will list them, ??????????????????? did I miss anyone?

Are you trying to encourage more illegal immigration? Do you think that giving illegals resident status for attending college will slow down illegal immigration? Are you really wanting to help illegals more than USA citizens? Have you already forgotten you are an "American" representitive not a "Central American" representitive?

Yes to all of your questions, she is a California politician and this is a sanctuary state, why do you think we are just about bankrupt????????? But they do not care that this will make things worse, they just want the majority of the hispanic vote.

What is your opinion about the protests taking place in Wisconsin?

I think you are great, smart, in control and powerful.

Where are your examples that will back up your statement? Please post them so all of us can relate with your statement. Do you have any?

Congresswoman Sanchez,

My wife is a teacher at a Santa Ana Elementary School. The low-income students were provided free lunches if the parent filled out a form stating their income. These forms were never verified. The other students were provided lunches for a small charge. Last year, the charge was eliminated. All students at the school now get free lunches. In addition, all students get free breakfasts. In addition to that, all students now get free vegetable snacks. (The kids don't eat many of the snacks, so boxes of them end up in the teachers lounge and then get thrown away) .

Besides the cost issues of feeding an entire school snacks and two meals a day, I'm also concerned with immigrants attitude and how they are being 'trained' to depend on the government for food and not bonding with the family at meal times.


Where do you stand on this issue?
