Some Freepers may not remember or know that during the Anthrax scare, Mike Pence and his office received some mysterious envelopes containing mysterious powder. Mike immediately closed down his office, had his staff report to the hospital, picked up his wife and kids and checked into the emergency room to make sure everyone was checked out. He told his staff, if I remember this correctly, not to return to the office until everything had been cleared. Mike made an executive decision, went into action and immediatley followed up. He's an excellent candidate and hopefully he can handle the corrupt liberals on any forum they decide to attack him on.
Pence speaks at "Operation Offset" press conference. Washington, Oct 27 - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence delivered the following speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this morning commending President Bush for his leadership in calling for fiscal responsibility during efforts to rebuild the Gulf Coast:
“When it comes to making tough choices in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, presidential leadership will make the difference.
“Yesterday in remarks before the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., the President of the United States called on Congress to, ‘Redouble our efforts to be wise about how we spend your money.’ The President went on to say, ‘ We can help the people of the Gulf Coast Region recover and rebuild, and we can be good stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars at the same time.’
“He called on Congress to reduce unnecessary spending, to identify offsets, and pledged again to offer spending rescissions to provide the emergency relief, in his words, ‘In a fiscally responsible way.’
“President George W. Bush yesterday encouraged Congress to push the envelope when it comes to cutting spending, and his strong leadership will make the difference.
“Congress should heed the call of President Bush to rebuild with generosity and fiscal responsibility in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.”
