If Georgia's voters had gotten their act together last year instead of marking ballots for the name they recognize, we could have had two Tom Coburns. Nonetheless, I'm thankful we've got one. Way to go Oklahoma!

I'll bump to that!

Hopefully having this Coburn..will lead to more Coburns in the Senate in the future.

A divided U.S. Senate committee voted to back President Bush's pick to head the Food and Drug Administration, acting FDA commissioner Lester Crawford, on June 15 2005, but Senators from both parties threaten to block a vote by the full Senate. Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has said he plans to place a hold on Crawford over condom labeling -- complaining the labels are not accurate and must give specific information on how well they work and the diseases they prevent.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla) on Thursday called for the 2005 reauthorization of the Ryan White CARE Act to correct imbalances in the distribution of federal grants that favor areas with high concentrations of AIDS cases while "shortchanging" areas with HIV-positive people who have not advanced to AIDS,...

It's difficult for me to imagine that this type of legislation should ever be necessary in our nation, but it is. What a shame, and a benchmark for the decline of our society.

The theory being bumped around is that repealing the 17th would lead to more Coburns. I'm still thinking about it. Do you have an opinion?

Coburn Freely Placing Holds

6/23/05 Roll Call More on how Senator Tom Coburn, Club For Growth bankrolled candidate, is doing his utmost to protect our money and liberty in Congress. The freshman is using his power as a Senator to put a hold - or secret filibuster threat - on any bill he believes would create a new spending program, whether it is included in an appropriations bill or an authorizing bill.
That means that many a Senator's home-state pet project could be held up indefinitely by a man known for sticking to his guns, even to the point of making enemies. Thieves don't like being called out.
"I don't think we ought to be passing new legislation, spending new money when we can't pay for what we're doing today, and we're not willing to cut what we're doing today," said Coburn in a recent interview. Common sense... in Washington?

"It's not about Ted Stevens [porkbarreling 'Republican' senator]," Coburn said. "It's about, if we're going to spend new money then we ought to be able to say, 'Here's where we'll get the money to pay for this,' or we ought not to be doing this."

Given that [Coburn's shenanigans], Senators aren't even safe anymore thinking that their pet programs are protected because they've already become law. [Gasp! We can't have that can we?] "He's elated to have a forum like this and plans to use it to its full potential," Hart said. Good. Tom Coburn is perhaps the only Senator who is actually representing his constituents and truly focusing on shrinking government. Still, during his more than 30 years in Congress, Lott said he has learned something about how to keep the likes of Coburn from stopping his pet projects from becoming law. "The way I do it is, I fold them into bills where you can't find it," Lott said. "I've been around here long enough to know how to bury it."

Senator Lott is on the record talking about stealing your family's money in order to transfer it to his own political constituents in wasteful bloated spending bills. Senator Lott is engaging in criminal behavior. Of course, it's perfectly legal, but it is morally criminal. It's like a bank robber boasting to the police what a great thief he is and the police not doing anything. 'We the people', are the apathetic police. We need to vote these corrupt politicians out of office and elect more people like Tom Coburn. Club For Growth.

Sorry, either Coburn represents the people as a Senator or he should just continue being a physician. One or the other.
