SCHIP
Is Alabama's current Representative from the Fourth
Congressional District actually representing his district or is he
representing President Bush? Yet again your current
representative has voted against helping his own constituents to
fall in line with the Bush Administration. One example being
his vote in opposition of the State Children's Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP) reauthorization act. This bill would have
provided an additional $35 billion for SCHIP--$30 billion more
than Bush wanted. This legislation would reauthorize coverage
for 6.6 million children and extend the program to 4 million
more. This program has significantly affected the health status
of children from low income families. As before with his
deciding vote for CAFTA (which has cost his district numerous
jobs) your current representative has again come up with his
excuses for turning his back on the needs of his constituents to
be President Bush's "rubberstamp". Your current
representative had rather tell you what you need and what is
good for you instead of the job that he was elected to do which
is represent you and your needs.
I strongly support programs that benefit the citizens of our
district and SCHIP is a good example.
"...If Greg were to be elected as a Congressman from Alabama I have no doubt that he would make the citizens of that state very proud and do an outstanding job." -Lt. Commander Douglas S. Satterfield, U.S. Navy, Retired

How long is long enough?
It is time to start bringing our troops home. It's time for the
Iraqis to step up and govern themselves. I feel that all we are
doing is prolonging the inevitable. Our troops are now being
placed in harms way to provide a police force for Iraq. I have
served in the military and I support the amazing men and
women of our armed services. It's time for leadership and
sound decision making that will not unnecessarily put our
troops in harms way.
Fighting for the Heroes
Our veterans deserve immediate access to the benefits
that they were promised and have earned through their
service to this country. They have fought valiantly to
protect and ensure our freedom. We as a nation should
be able to give something back to these brave,
hardworking soldiers.
Having served as a hospital corpsman in the navy, I
know the need to stand behind our men and women who
have served and who are currently serving in the military.
They are the ones who defend our national security.
They are the ones who fight the war on terrorism. They
are the men and women who continue to serve bravely
around the world day after day and each deserves all the
support and resources that we as a nation have to offer.
I fully support increasing funding for family support
centers, increases in funding for pay raises and
reenlistment bonuses, expanded child tax credits to
families with active duty military personnel, and most of
all, leadership and decision making that will keep our
troops safe.
