Irish Newspaper Suggests Congressman Ted Poe Should Be Minister of Finance For Ireland If Ted Poe of Texas were Ireland's Minister for Finance, then Irish people might have more confidence in the Government's massive guarantee for Irish bankers. As Brian Cowen and Brian Lenihan last week bet the family silver -- and much more besides -- on a shaky financial future, Congressman Ted Poe caught the public mood on both sides of the Atlantic. Poe told the US House of Representatives on Monday, "Small businesses, mom and pop grocery stores, don't get this break. When they make bad financial decisions, they go out of business. But the rich and famous Wall Street New York City fat cats expect Joe Six-Pack to buck it up and pay for all this nonsense." - Full Release - November 17, 2008 THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE IS UNFAIR Madam Speaker, it seems that some in Congress are trying to call back the speech police and reinstate the Fairness Doctrine again.

Nancy Boyda Lead Bipartisan Request WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX-02) and Congresswoman Nancy Boyda (D-KS-02) led a bipartisan request to Attorney General Michael Mukasey to conduct an appropriate and thorough investigation into any and all financial institutions, corporations, and individuals that are suspect of criminal action relating to our current economic crisis. The bipartisan letter conveys concerns being expressed across the country from constituents about their retirement accounts, their savings, and how they can afford to send their kids to college. Since these taxpayers are forced to take a stake in the financial institutions that our government has chosen to assist, they have valid questions, and they deserve honest answers. - Full Release - |
