85 Republicans Who Opposed The United States Constitution.
Here is a list of the 85 Republican members of the United States House of Representatives that voted for the 90% tax on bonuses for AIG and others. Clearly a violation of their oath of office to uphold the Constitution. See my post, “House Violates the US Constitution” from March 19th. These are the Republicans that need to be turned out of office in 2010. This included my own Congresswoman, Ginny Brown-Waite who shall no longer receive any support from me. Letter time! Here’s the list.
Aderholt, Alexander, Barton (TX), Biggert, Bilbray, Bilirakis. Blunt, Bono Mack, Boozman, Brown (SC), Brown-Waite, Ginny, Buchanan, Calvert, Camp, Cantor, Cao, Capito, Cassidy, Castle, Crenshaw, Davis (KY), Diaz-Balart, L., Diaz-Balart, M., Duncan, Ehlers, Emerson, Fleming, Forbes, Fortenberry, Frelinghuysen, Gallegly, Gerlach, Goodlatte, Guthrie, Heller, Herger, Hoekstra, Johnson (IL), Jones, Kirk, Lance, Latham, Lee (NY), Lewis (CA), LoBiondo, Manzullo, McCaul, McClintock, McHugh, McMorris Rodgers, Mica, Miller (MI), Moran (KS), Petri, Platts, Putnam, Rehberg, Reichert, Roe (TN), Rogers (AL), Rogers (KY), Rogers (MI), Rohrabacher, Rooney, Ros-Lehtinen, Roskam, Royce, Ryan (WI), Schmidt, Schock, Shimkus, Smith (NJ), Smith (TX), Stearns, Tiberi, Turner, Upton, Walden, Wamp, Whitfield, Wittman, Wolf, Young (AK), Young (FL)
Maybe you can find a way to educate these wayward Republicans by sending them a copy of Mark Levin’s new book Liberty and Tyranny, A Conservative Manifesto
That’s if you think they are redeemable.
Personally, I don’t think a company should pay out bonuses unless they are profitable. In AIG’s defense these bonuses were contactual obligations that were due the employees by contract. The cost to AIG if they refused to pay them in court and legal fees would have been at least double what they were obligated to pay.
