I heard your interview through Larry Elder's show on KABC and have become a fan of the clear, well-informed, cut-to-the-chase way you tackle issues.

Looking at this new bill, it's scary to think that Congress is more than willing to make the same mistake twice, and in such a short time span with the taxpayer footing the bill.

Thank you for bringing a reasoned voice to the debate!

Thank you for trying to fight this insanity. They are going crazy because they think they can get away with it.
We appreciate your hard work.

Right on Tom. Keep up the fight.

The congress seems poised to waste a lot of money in a hurry. We are hoping you and other conservatives will do all you can to stop this insanity and expose those who are using the current economic situation to rob the American people.

Tom,
Great job in fighting the frivolous and wasteful spending of money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back. We are a grassroots organization that is fighting to make sure that our representatives are actually representing us, and on this issue you get an emphatic thumbs up. We hope you keep up the hard work of making sure that our country maintains its constitutional principles. We look forward to seeing you represent us in a manner that is consistent with the will of the people.

The love of the Smiths of Thousand oaks and Temecula, and Nuevo Calif. as well as the Stekerts of Sacramento back you all the way......... God bless you Tom Love Pat and Scott Smith

Glad we supported you, Tom. Wish I could also vote for you. It's frustrating to know that while Congress claims they want to create more jobs, they have also put in place a well-meaning law with the unintended consequences of ruining thousands of small businesses and overloading the landfills -- H.R. 4040, CPSIA, the brain child of Henry Waxman and Bobby Rush. They seem to be avoiding public hearings, even when members of their own committee are urging them. It would be a shame if this law, which was meant to regulate lead in chidlren's toys, puts used booksellers who sell children's books at risk of huge fines and jail time and might even increase the prices of school textbooks and children's books in libraries. It also threatens second hand sellers of children's clothing, thrift stores, and small companies who hand-make their children's clothing with organic materials designed to be especially safe for children. Expensive testing of individual products by third party labs on products which have never proved to be a threat to children will be required under this law. The roads to both hell and bankruptcy are paved with good intentions, and this nonsensical law which will require third party testing for every single product marketed to children twelve and under before it can be legally sold, or even given away, certainly proves this. I doubt if you, a freshman, can do anything to change Henry Waxman's mind about holding public hearings or extending time so the CPSC can complete its investigations of product safety before this law is enforced. But it would be nice if someone could. I wrote to my own congressman, and got nothing back but a form letter. I wonder if most congressman even read these laws or understand them before they vote. This one was passed before you were elected and could vote on it. But it seems there ought to be some way to stop or delay the enforcement of it before thousands more people lose their jobs or businesses because of it.

Your website invite money, re-election help. It does not suggest that INPUT/RESPONSE is invited or will be answered. So I will have to RUN AGAINST you. Don't want to be troubled by actually listening to votes? OK. NEXT!

Hi Tom,

Great job getting elected, now it's time for you to assume the leadership of the Republicans in the House. We need a new Contract with America, not a new New Deal.

The spending is not about economic stimulus. It is about funding their liberal programms.

Tom it's too bad that the commonsense folks are out numbered on Capital Hill. I hope you efforts to educate pay off, but I am afraid that congress is more greedy for spending what they did not earn than you can imagine. Keep fighting the good fight.

Instead of emphasizing reduced taxes, Tom should have emphasized eliminating unconstitutional programs, reducing total government spending, balancing the budget, reducing the regulatory burden, and getting out of all sovereignty-infringing international agencies such as the UN, GATT, WTO, NAFTA, IMF, World Band, etc. He needs to admit that years of Republican majorities in both houses plus the presidency failed to accomplish any of these things, therefore radical surgery in the party is needed.
