That would be this Saturday. Go. Watch. Ask. Record.
He’s already gone to the middle, running away from any aspirations of being part of the TEA Party movement (big surprise, eh) that he alluded to during the campaign. Let’s get real – the Conservatives and the Liberty & Freedom type folks in NH CD-2 barely voted in numbers to give him a victory – vote for a Republican Progressive (self-described) or a Democrat Progressive.
Why go and watch? Forwarded by loyal reader, Steven (emphasis mine):
UPDATED: House Fails to Adopt $20B in Additional Cuts (February 18, 2011 by Dan Holler)
Washington, D.C. – The House of Representatives voted 147-281 against an amendment offered by RSC Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), which would have cut an additional $20 billion in spending from H.R.1, the bill to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. Heritage Action for America was an outspoken proponent of the amendment.
“The failed vote on Jordan’s Amendment is a missed opportunity,” Heritage Action CEO Michael A. Needham said. “This amendment would have put House Republicans in full compliance with their Pledge to America, which promised to rollback non-security discretionary spending to 2008 levels.”
Currently, H.R.1 cuts non-security discretionary spending to approximately $398 billion, $20 billion shy of the 2008 level.
“We congratulate the 147 Members who voted to uphold their Pledge,” Needham continued. “And while the underlying bill takes an important first step forward, we know they can and must do more if America is to remain an exceptional nation.”
Today’s vote was just the first of many legislative battles over spending, and the future of our country. Heritage Action for America will encourage Congress to cut spending to put our country on the path towards prosperity and will hold Members accountable to their Pledge and their constituents.
