![]() DC Republicans Have Gone Off The RailsWednesday October 4, 2006 I am mad as a wet hen about the disgusting stories coming out of Washington on yet another blockbuster Republican scandal. As a mother and a grandmother, I am disgusted at reports that top Republicans in this House might have put political expedience ahead of the safety of the children in our care. Instead of dealing with the disgraceful actions of former Republican Representative Mark Foley, they seemingly chose to cover the story up for as long as three years. Every parent in America deserves to know why the Republican leadership allegedly hid Foley’s disgusting predatory behavior instead of acting to stop it. This week, rather than accepting responsibility for the consequences of their inaction, Republicans in Washington are doing their best to pass the buck. There is simply no accountability among the Republican Leadership, no matter how severe the circumstances. The safety of children on Capitol Hill should be more important than spin and political posturing. This is about trust. And, Washington Republicans are in disgrace. They have gone off the rails, and they’ve taken America with them. From Iraq, to Afghanistan, to the Foley matter, to Jack Abramoff, to the economy, America deserves a fresh start. We already knew that we couldn’t trust Republicans to effectively protect us from outside threats by implementing the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations. We already knew that they couldn’t be trusted to keep our troops safe on the battlefield by getting them the armor and equipment they need. But now, we can’t even trust them to keep kids safe in the halls of Congress. This scandal says a great deal about the real values of the Republican Leadership in Washington today. Keep in mind again this is the third Republican Member who had to resign from this Congress in disgrace. Let’s all work hard to make sure we can give America a fresh start on November 8. Join my campaign today. |

Democrats are poised to resume a majority in the House of Representatives, and possibly in the US Senate as well. Even before the next presidential election, new leaders in Congress should seize the day to address our most critical problem—which is that the American worker has been injured badly by an erosion of income security, health security, environmental quality and prospects for national progress.
There are four tough jobs to do. Americans should expect the next Congressional leadership to get cracking on the following tasks. They all connect, they’ll all help our economy; they’ll all cost some money, and accomplishing any one of them will mean Herculean labor and tenacity.
Job #1: A unversal single-payer Healthcare system must be pushed by Democrats. The Veterans Administration has the best structure; it is centered on comprehensive electronic medical record-keeping, with thorough followup of each case. The VA tends to the wellness of its constituents. The VA beats the prices of pharmaceuticals down. The VA uses state-of-the-art equipment. Building a national system of universal coverage on the foundation of the VA, plus Medicare and Medicaid, would achieve for this country what universal single-payer care has achieved for Canada and for the Europeans have—namely, a system that produces good outcomes for patients and a system that does not burden the individual employer. Our automobile-manufacturing economy will continue to crumble under the weight of healthcare costs for retirees.
Job #2: Of course, Democrats must propose a significant increase in the minimum wage. Minimum-wage work is overwhelmingly in the retail sector, which cannot be outsourced to overseas locations because all retail is local.
Job #3: Protect farms from suburban sprawl. Noble goal, but here’s a practical tool Democrats can enact. The next dollar of federal clean-water support for replacing old sewer systems must require a change in state land-use policy.
Here’s the problem. There a hidden $100 billion bill that is about come come due in every old city in the northeast, the mid-atlantic and the midwest: in every city more than 100 years old, the sewers are shot. Their systems tend, however, to process not only urban wastewater, but suburban and rural as well. The cost of fixing those systems will be paid eventually with federal dollars—but states should not have access to those funds unless states commit to land-use planning that stops low-density residential development in farmland. In order to protect watersheds, maximize energy efficiency and stop the insanity of two-hour commutes, the federal government must impose sanctions on states that continue to permit subdivisions to spread ever-outward, because our economy cannot carry them. America became a nation of suburbs in farmland in the twentieth century; America needs to become a nation of re-settled cities 21st century.
Job #4: Last, Democrats must put the money back into science. Restoring cuts to the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and of Mental Health and into other scientific research programs is an urgent priority. Maybe it’s my 1960s education and experience: from Kennedy through Carter, federal sponsorship for peer-reviewed basic science research was a cornerstone of our national program.
This is a bare list, but each is a heavy lift…until an enterprising Democratic leader starts looking for allies. National healthcare now has a surprisingly strong base among executives who lead manufacturing companies and among physicians; the surprise opposition may come from labor uninos that sustain themselves through the insurance entities they own.
Democrats are politically best-equipped to trade labor’s desire for a higher minimum wage for support for single-payer healthcare.
And there’s a coalition waiting to be assembled—a group of farmers, construction unions and construction industries, plus big-city mayors and governors who want to prove they care about both gold and green—to fix sewers and stop sprawl. A strong Congressional leadership could get it done.
As for science, I don’t know who will step forward on this. Everybody should, nobody has. A restored Estate Tax would more than pay for the science reseach that America needs in order to reclaim its legacy for innovation.
All we need is a policy-driven House leadership.

Hurry Louise,
Many of the victims of mind control and electronic harassment believe the recent killings of children and high school students are indeed done by someone with sophisticated technology.
and they set the programs off on innocent people.
Please help extinguish these mind control programs before more die.
thank you.

Congresswoman Slaughter:
I am sooo glad the Democratic Party has taken over both the House and Senate in our nation’s capital. Dumbo Bush and his Republican cronies will now hopefully learn that they can’t pass laws that don’t make sense, or are not with the Constitution.
My neighbor is a lawyer, even though his specialty is family law and he occasionally sees what Bush and his cronies can do family law wise.
Those Republicans, thanks to the Democrats, are hopefully going to be taught a lesson that they can’t pass ridiculous laws that don’t adhere to the Articles of the federal Constitution.
Thanks for listening.
In Solidarity,
—Emily
