Tax and Spend

During the 110th Congress, I voted against $515 billion in new spending, and rejected $206 million in proposed earmarks. Under the Democrats' major tax and spend proposal, the average District Seven resident would see a $3300 tax increase. Furthermore, unless Congress votes to stop them, the following tax increases will occur.

U.S. Financial Burden

My highest priority as your Congressman is ensuring our prosperity now and in the future by keeping the U. S. Treasury, and our children and grandchildren, from going deeper into debt.

On every vote and on every issue, I always remember our nation’s immense unfunded financial burden. Unfortunately, as you can see on pages 5 and 6 of this important GAO report, this $53 trillion unfunded obligation has grown by 158% since 2000. This structural debt is the principle reason I have voted against so many new spending initiatives and expanding government programs since I was sworn in as your Congressman in January 2001.

Congressman Culberson and the Texas Congressional Delegation Ask President Bush to Commute the Sentences of Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Culberson issued the following statement regarding the case of jailed border agents, Ramos and Compean:

“Today 31 of 34 current members of the Texas Congressional Delegation and 2 former members signed and delivered a letter to President George W. Bush asking him to commute the prison sentences of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Even their prosecutor, U. S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, has admitted that he believes their prison sentences were excessive. The Texas Congressional Delegation is united in our sincere hope that President Bush will be compassionate towards these two men and their families and that he will commute their sentences to time served and free them from prison before he leaves office on Tuesday at noon.”

Congressman John Culberson spearheaded this letter with the Texas Congressional Delegation and delivered it to the White House on their behalf this afternoon. A copy of the letter is attached.
