Tom Rooney of Florida is doing something for the Seniors thrown under the bus by Obama.
To that end, I cosponsored H.R. 2365, the Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers Act. Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR-04) introduced this bipartisan legislation which puts in place a more accurate formula to ensure senior’s actual costs are considered when determining the need for a COLA. Seniors need a pricing index that takes into account the unique goods and services they purchase, such as healthcare and prescription drugs, and H.R. 2365 does just that.
Additionally, I cosponsored a similar piece of legislation, H.R. 3691, The Seniors and Veterans Economic Stimulus (SAVES) Act of 2009, which proposes to use all unobligated funds from the economic stimulus package to provide seniors and veterans with the assistance they need. President Obama and his administration must recognize that our seniors and veterans need immediate relief and cannot afford to shoulder the burden of our struggling economy without a COLA increase from the federal government.
Many of you have pointed to the Congressional pay raises as an example of how out of touch those in Washington are with the people they represent. I could not agree more. As a freshman member of Congress I was appalled to learn that an automatic pay increase is included in the annual appropriations bills that fund the federal government. Members of Congress should not be awarded an automatic pay raise, especially when hard-working American families are suffering from record unemployment and a COLA increase is determined to be unnecessary. Those of us in Congress must make the same sacrifices that we ask of our constituents and should not even consider a pay raise until the federal deficit is addressed.

Howdy! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and fantastic design and style.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Someone smarter than I said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If we are going to spend more money on people out of work, let’s put them to work doing something productive for the country.
I like the layout of your website. Check out the graphics on my site at http://www.publicdomainpayday.com

I have needed this information for so long. Where have you been!!! Thanks
Just look at the numbers; Greek Deficit 25 Bil euros EU deficit 1.6 Tr. euros
I am very impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of americasindependentmovement.com can continue to provide so much productive information and unforgettable experience to americasindependentmovement.com readers. There is not much to tell except the following universal truth: Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl. I will be back.
On the whole, I am not very keen on politics on the whole – but, at times we all have to pause for thought. There are several very good points made here, and I’m thinking about it deeply – thank you.
I search the bills and updates. Did get most of Rooney information from his site. But the fact he is working on the right issues is the important thing when so many are going the other way. I try to get good items out there for others that might miss them.
I loved your blog theme! Did you develop it yourself or is it downloadalbe from somehwere?
