Congressman Jim Jordan encourages support for “Holiday Mail for Heroes,” sponsored by the American Red Cross to send holiday greeting cards to members of the U.S. military. The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes, Inc. will ensure that all cards sent to U.S. service members during the third annual mail drive will arrive safe and in time for the holidays.
Holiday Mail for Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
A few rules and restrictions apply. Only cards, not letters, will be accepted. All cards must be signed. Since cards could go to a service member on active duty, their family, or a former service member, all cards must be entitled “Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran.” There is a limit of 15 cards per person or 50 for a school class or business group. Groups of cards should be bundled in single, large envelopes—it is not necessary to include individual envelopes or postage for cards.

Last night, as the House Committee on Rules considered H.R. 3962, the Pelosi Government-Run Healthcare Bill, only 2 of 216 submitted amendments were accepted. This denies members 72 hours to review last minute changes and only allows four hours of debate today - which are underway on the floor now. You can see here what Democrats have done to hurry this bill into passage. I'll be joining the debate shortly and voting against this trillion dollar takeover of healthcare.

Before Congress ended the week, House Democrats unveiled their newest healthcare proposal - twice the size of their first version but with more bureaucracy and ways to get between a patient and their doctor. You can read the bill here to see what House Democrats think is best for you...

From what we’ve seen recently, there is a huge difference between what the administration promised when they pushed the stimulus, what they predicted the stimulus would do, what they claim it has done, and what they have actually delivered. Here are just three of the promises, predictions and claims from the White House:
PROMISED: The administration PROMISED that the stimulus would SAVE OR CREATE 1.5 million jobs in 2009 alone. DELIVERED: In reality, 2.2 million Americans have lost their jobs since Obama took office. Even if the administration has “saved or created” 150,000 jobs, the economy still has a net loss of over 2 Million jobs. How can this administration TAKE CREDIT for 150,000 jobs “saved or created?” Where are these jobs? Who has them? The American people have good reason to ask these questions of a president who promised “unprecedented transparency.” PREDICTED: The administration PREDICTED that the stimulus would keep unemployment from rising above 8%. (Insert Chart 1) DELIVERED: Last week, the Labor Department released the latest job numbers. By the end of May 2009, unemployment had spiked to 9.4%, higher than any point since 1983. (Insert Chart 2- Graph actual) CLAIMED: The administration CLAIMED this week to have “saved or created 150,000 jobs. DELIVERED: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.2 million Americans have LOST their jobs since Obama took office. That amounts to more than just fuzzy math… its fraudulent math.
