Communications Director responds

"Yes he will abide by the plan passed by Congress if he votes for it. Thanks."



Good to know. But the question wasn't "Will Rep. Foster abide if he votes for it." The question is:

Will he place himself and his family on the same plan he and the Democrats seek to force upon my family.

Ladies and gentlemen... Here's an interesting question. Does anyone know if the Congressional Aids are covered by the same plan as the members of Congress? Do you think that Communications Directors will have a better plan than I or my children will?

Here's another question. Do you remember the Contract With America? I do. Here's what it sought to do:


require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
limit the terms of all committee chairs;
ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
require committee meetings to be open to the public;
require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
and implement a zero base-line budgeting process for the annual Federal Budget.

Do you think that it is time to revisit this contract? Let's make sure when Republicans regain control of the House and the Senate that we push for this legislation.
