I just spoke with office of Congressman David Dreier (R-CA), he’s the former House Rules Chairman. His office won’t give out information about how he intends to vote. He could use some persuasion:
Office (202) 225-2305
I called David Drier’s office and gave the guy there a piece of my mind. I live about a block from his Congressional district though so I used my buddies address in Upland to add a little more weight to my call.
I also called my Congress-critter Joe Bacca (D) and told him that it wasn’t going to do crap to stimulate the economy. If they want to stimulate the economy tell everyone they don’t have to pay income taxes for one year.
I just made my token call to Al Green (D-TX) knowing that it fell on deaf ears. Being the lone conservative reed in a district of “leftist diversity”, the aide sounded stunned when she repeated, “you want him to vote no?”. I could use a glass of Mylanta right about now.
I just called his office. To correct the record, here is what I was told: Congressman Dreier is against the stimulus bill and has been on the floor of the House speaking out against the bill. He doesnt have a written statement because he’s been on the floor today.
I doubt there will be a lot of Republican votes for the bill.
