Debt Talks Worry Lobbyists
By Anna Palmer
and Steven T. Dennis
K street lobbyists are scrambling to
defend industry tax breaks and spending
programs from ending up as fodder to re-
duce the defcit in the debt limit talks led
by Vice president Joseph Biden.
a lack of news about the specifc cuts
under consideration by the close-lipped
bipartisan group, coupled with last weeks
surprising 73-27 senate vote to eliminate
long-sacrosanct ethanol tax subsidies has
put lobbyists in a defensive crouch.
Congressional negotiators left Tues-
days three-hour meeting without a deal
and refused to comment on details of
what proposals are under discussion. The
lawmakers are slated to meet again today,
Thursday and possibly friday, and they
are under pressure to announce at least
the framework for a broader deal to give
Congress time to digest it before the au-
gust recess. Theyve set a July 1 deadline
for themselves.
all of that means its a tense time to be
a lobbyist.
The thing that is really driving people
nuts is there is no information, one re-
publican lobbyist said. There is no chatter.
... i think that is driving the nervousness.
The oil and gas industry and private eq-
uity companies, which have so far staved
of changes to their tax breaks, are watch-
ing carefully, given that some republicans
now say they are willing to eliminate in-
dustry tax breaks to reduce the defcit.
There is a general push particularly
from republicans to delay any talk of
trimming tax breaks until a broader tax
reform plan can be negotiated, but in the
meantime, it seems as if every industry
is on its own in fghting for its narrow
set of tax provisions. The ethanol indus-
try, for example, is still trying to save its
tax subsidy from the chopping block by
pointing to the tax breaks oil and gas have

The elections of 2010 created a huge class of former Members of Congress. Many, such as former Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln (seen
above in Senatorial plumage), have returned to Washington as lobbyists, lawyers, strategists or advocates of various stripes, but others
have moved on to academia, private-sector jobs or the family funeral home business. Roll Call has assembled a helpful Where Are

Muslims Hope to Capitalize on Criticism
By Ambreen Ali
Though last week featured a conten-
tious public debate about the role of Mus-
lims in American society, some advocates
for that community believe their critics
are creating an opportunity for Muslims
to expand their political clout.
On Monday, as a leading Republican
lawmaker prepared to hold a second
round of hearings on radicalization in
the American-Muslim community, two
Republican presidential candidates at a
presidential debate professed discomfort
with the idea of hiring Muslims for gov-
ernment posts.
Those anti-Muslim comments re-
ceived the loudest applause line during
the debate, said Farhana Khera, presi-
dent of a group called Muslim Advocates.
But by Friday, Khera said, she had wit-
nessed an outpouring of support from
Netroots Nation, a premier liberal confer-
ence on political activism, giving her hope
that the anti-Muslim rhetoric might actu-
ally boost the communitys clout. The Ne-
troots conference included a panel titled
The Politics of Hate and the Rise of Anti-
Muslim Bigotry; attendees discussed a
spike in hateful and harassing behavior
towards Muslims.

Budget by
1,000 Cuts
Georgian Ofers Most
Cost-Cutting Measures
By Annie Shuppy
and Janie Lorber
When it comes to cost-saving amend-
ments, Rep. Paul Broun cant be beat,
even if he rarely wins.
The Georgia Republican has ofered
more amendments to appropriations
bills that have passed this year than any
other House Member, in an efort to prove
money can be saved at every turn.
Broun proposed a dozen changes to the
three spending bills considered and ap-
proved by the House this month. Eleven
of those amendments all of which were
rejected applied to the Agriculture ap-
propriations bill and would have cut the de-
partments budget by a total of $2 billion.
A Broun aide said he told his staf last
week that the spending bills were like
a speeding train heading for a clif; he
thought he could at least slow down that
train.
He went into this appropriations bill
with a goal of cutting at least $2 billion,
Broun spokeswoman Meredith Grifanti
said. Even thats just a drop in the buck-
et.
Under the Republican-established
rules for this years appropriations bills,
Members can ofer any change without
prior announcement. Often, even the ma-
jority staf does not see the language until
seconds before the amendments are read
on the foor.
Democrats have historically been
more restrictive when it comes to ofer-
ing amendments for appropriations bills,
so budget hawks like Broun simply did
not have the opportunity to show of their
penny-pinching acumen in the past two

Sen. Tom Coburn might decide to block a House GOP deal on patent reform that allows
spending panels to control the Patent and Trademark Ofces fnances.
By Janie Lorber
and John Stanton
Well, that didnt take long.
Two weeks ago lobbyists for banks and
retailers were waging rhetorical cage
matches over debit card swipe fees. Now,
they are holding hands on patent reform
in advance of a key vote.
With an overhaul of the nations pat-
ent system expected on the House foor
as soon as today, the National Retail Fed-
eration sent a letter Tuesday to lawmak-
ers in support of a bank-friendly provision
aimed at rooting out bad patents.
Banks sometimes are retailers, too,
said David French, the chief lobbyist for
the NRF, the worlds largest retail trade as-
sociation. This is Washington; we know
we have fghts. Sometimes we are with
people, and sometimes we are against
them.
The provision, which applies to pat-
ents on business processes used by the
fnancial services industry such as check-
scanning practices, would allow banks
charged with patent infringement to de-

who doesnt represent the sensibilities of
his district, israel said in a Friday inter-
view with the Detroit Free press. Run-
ning against Mccotter, peters would have
the truly moderate voting record.
But Democratic aides walked back isra-
els comments this week, saying he spoke
with the newspaper before the map was
released at noon that day.
Dccc aides quickly pronounced their
neutrality in a potential primary race be-
tween peters, levin or any other Michi-
gan Democrat, instead deferring to the
delegation.
peters is considering his options.
Rep. peters is working together closely
with Rep. levin and the delegation to fght
this map and to get fair representation
for Michigan voters, peters spokesman
clark pettig told Roll call.
Rep. peters intends to run for re-elec-
tion to congress, and if this map actually
becomes law, he will carefully consider
how to best represent Michigan
families over the next decade,
pettig said.
Republicans welcomed a
potential race between peters
and Mccotter. Under the map,
Mccotters district is protected
more than any other Gop Mem-
bers in the delegation, with an
infux of new Republicans.
i think it would be great,
former Michigan Republican
party chairman saul Anuzis
said in a phone interview.
i think that Mccotter is in
very strong shape. i think that
district has the current largest
increase in Republican votes of
any in the state, Anuzis said.
Hed have a better chance
beating levin in the primary
than against Mccotter in the
general.
conyers attorney Alan ca-
nady testifed about the pro-
posed map tuesday before the
Michigan House redistricting
committee.
the congressional Black
caucus institute, the political
arm of the cBc, has prepared an
alternative proposal to redraw
the Detroit House districts as
soon as possible.
Were certainly prepared to
fle a lawsuit, but thats not our
preferred course of action, ca-
nady told Roll call.
the congressman would rather not
go to court, canady said. Hed rather
work with the legislature to come up with
a good plan.
canady said any challenges to the map
would center on the contorted shapes of
the newly drawn 13th and 14th districts,
where conyers and freshman Rep. Han-
sen clarke (D) reside, respectively.
the majority of lawsuits challeng-
ing maps so far this year revolve around
whether minorities are properly repre-
sented, but in this case, its an issue of the
districts not being compact, canady said.
Well certainly look at that as a pos-
sible challenge, but the maps that they put
out to a certain extent do comport with
the Voting Rights Act in terms of creat-
ing majority-minority districts, canady
said. they followed it, but the way that
theyve gone about it, theres a better way
to do it that would be consistent with the
states required standards.
conyers also has a stake in changing
the current map.
Although the proposed 14th district is
heavily Democratic, it includes a great
deal of new territory for conyers. insid-
ers said the 24-term Democrat would be
susceptible to a primary challenge with
that much new terrain.
conyers keeps less than 20 percent of
his current territory if the proposed map is
enacted. the new conyers district would
include more of clarkes district, almost
28 percent, under the proposed map, than
of his own.
Michigan Democrats and Republicans
caution the legislature will act quickly to
pass the proposed map perhaps even by
the end of next week.
if Gov. Rick snyder (R) signs of on the
proposal, opponents have up to 30 days to
fle a lawsuit protesting the map.
By Shira Toeplitz
Michigans newly proposed congres-
sional map puts Rep. Gary peters in a bind,
forcing the sophomore Blue Dog Demo-
crat to choose between running against
one of his caucus colleagues or in a Gop
district.
the Wolverine state is losing a House
seat in 2012 as a result of population de-
cline, and Republicans who control the
redistricting process have set their sights
squarely on peters.
Rep. John conyers (D) and the con-
gressional Black caucus are leading the
charge in lansing against the map, leav-
ing peters and other Detroit-area Demo-
crats to sort out the potential
primary situation.
Democrats had hypothesized
for months that the Republicans
would force peters to run against
Rep. sander levin (D), but the
map released Friday shows that
might not even be peters best
option.
the proposal slices up pe-
ters current 9th district, put-
ting more of his territory into
districts belonging to other
Michiganders than into levins
current district.
the map folds 33 percent of
peters current district into Gop
Rep. thaddeus Mccotters 11th
district, according to a detailed
breakdown of the proposal cir-
culated among the states House
Democrats and obtained by Roll
call.
Under the map, conyers pro-
posed 14th district takes almost
28 percent of peters district.
And Republican Rep. Mike Rog-
ers 8th district takes almost
15 percent.
levins district would pick
up only about 18 percent of pe-
ters current territory. However,
many of the Democratic strong-
hold areas that voted for peters
in past cycles are within levins
district.
peters and levin carefully co-
ordinated their reaction to the map, put-
ting out a joint statement a few hours after
it was released Friday.
Democratic aides say the two Repre-
sentatives have a warm and positive rela-
tionship in a delegation known for some
of the most entrenched and biggest per-
sonalities in congress.
thats a stark diference with other
potential primary matchups following re-
districting in other states. in california,
for example, Reps. Howard Berman and
Brad sherman will likely be forced to face
of in 2012. that race would reveal deep-
seated, longtime tension between the two
Democratic Members.
Even Democratic congressional cam-
paign committee chairman steve israel
(N.Y.) sounded as if he were encouraging
peters to challenge Mccotter.
Ultimately, Gary has to make the de-
cision on where to run, but Mccotter has
always been on peoples lists of someone

STANDING UP FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
A critical decision will be made soon by federal regulators that will seriously afect downpayment rules on home mortgages. As proposed in
the rule, a 20% downpayment requirement would be part of the standards needed for home mortgage loans to be designated as a Qualifed
Residential Mortgage (QRM). A 20% downpayment would only add to the challenges the housing market faces and could threaten our
economic recovery for years to come. Te National Association of REALTORS supports strong underwriting standards and responsible
lending practices, but a 20% downpayment would shut the door to many qualifed borrowers who would be unable to get a loan or forced
to pay much higher rates and fees. It was not the intent of Congress to penalize creditworthy borrowers seeking homeownership.
THE 1.1 MILLION MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS THANK THESE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR ASKING
FEDERAL REGULATORS TO APPLY A FAIR AND APPROPRIATE DEFINITION TO QUALIFIED RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES (QRM).

Where Are They Now? Checking In With
Former Members of the 111th Congress
It turns out there is life after Congress.
The historic losses of the November 2010 midterm elections swept dozens of
incumbents, including long-serving committee chairmen, such as former Demo-
cratic Reps. James Oberstar (Minn.) and Ike Skelton (Mo.), out of ofce. Plus, plenty
of Members, such as ex-Sens. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.),
decided to leave the Hill on their own terms.
All told, about 50 of the 111th alumni have set up shop in the infuence industry
at lobbying or law frms, trade associations, policy think tanks and nonproft orga-
nizations. Even for the most low-key K Street jobs, a former Member can command
a hefty six-fgure salary, according to headhunters and hiring managers. The most
plum assignments held by former Senators and sought-after ex-House Members of-
fer north of $1 million a year.
Other alumni decamped for a diferent type of government service, entered aca-
demia or have gone back to private-sector jobs far from the Beltway, such as former
Rep. Charlie Wilson (D-Ohio), who owns Wilson Funeral Homes in his home state.
Some have left the campaign trail and elective ofce in the past, but some of the
Members who had to leave Congress involuntarily are planning or at least eyeing
a return trip to Capitol Hill.
Former Democratic Reps. Christopher Carney (Pa.), Alan Grayson (Fla.) and Steve
Kagen (Wis.) are reported to be evaluating new campaigns, while some ex-Members
have already announced they will seek a rematch in 2012.
Others have more serious matters to face than career decisions. Ex-Rep. Marion Ber-
ry (D-Ark.), for example, had a brain tumor removed this month and, according to his
Caring Bridge website, was diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

America must invest in its infrastructure to drive
economic growth. But taxpayers need to know they are
getting their moneys worth both in the short term and
for years down the road.

To that end, a new report details how performance
measure reforms are powerful tools that enhance an
agencys ability to provide better value totaxpayers,
enable federal and state governments to build
infrastructure with the greatest efciency, and could
save hundreds of millions of dollars at the national
level through a process that fosters competition. The
Fiscal Accountability and Transparency in Infrastructure
Spending Act would drive these reforms home.

Reid Prepares to Loan Berkley His Machine
Republican lobbyist whose frm has rela-
tionships on both sides of the aisle, Reid
is urging Washingtons money people to
treat the Nevada race as an open contest
given that Heller was appointed, tell-
ing the downtown community that this
campaign could determine whether he
remains Majority Leader.
Many PACs are not including Heller in
their giving, this lobbyist said.
Reid and Georgiou havent always been
enemies. Georgiou has been a major donor
to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee, which also has endorsed Berk-
ley, and was previously appointed by Reid
to serve on the federal Financial Crisis In-
quiry Commission. But their relationship
has since soured, with Reid moving delib-
erately in Nevada to make sure Democrats
know Berkley is his candidate.
And on Tuesday, Reid accused Geor-
giou at a Capitol Hill news conference of
being less than truthful with the Majority
Leader about his business background
when he appointed the Democratic ac-
tivist to the FCIC. Additionally, news
reports have suggested Georgiou might
have acted unethically during his tenure
at the FCIC. Regarding his appointment
of Georgiou to the commission, Reid said
pointedly, I wish I hadnt done that.
One Democratic Senate source con-
frmed that Reid views Georgiou as a fatal-
ly fawed candidate and that the Majority
Leader is intent on doing whatever is nec-
essary to ensure Berkleys victory in the
primary. Other sources following the race
have suggested that Reid was infuenced
to back Berkley by Democratic pollster
Mark Mehlman, a Berkley adviser who
helped guide Reid through a tough 2010
re-election bid and is highly respected by
the Majority Leader.
He thinks she is the strongest candi-
date to create jobs, protect Medicare and
represent the people of Nevada in the Sen-
ate, a senior aide to Reid said.
The DSCC has also endorsed Berk-
ley, and committee Chairwoman Patty
Murray (Wash.) said Reids backing of
the Congresswoman is signifcant. Sen.
Reid is well-known, he just won a great
race and obviously his voice carries, she
said during a brief interview.
Georgiou, responding in a prepared
statement, charged Reid and other
Washington insiders with making false
accusations about his background and
service on the FCIC in an efort to scare
him out of the race. The businessman said
it would not work and vowed to continue
his campaign.
Far from being intimidated, the false
attacks aimed at my candidacy have only
served to fortify my resolve to stand
against the unholy alliance between
Washington and Wall Street that wrecked
our economy and far too many lives, and
strengthened my commitment to run for
the U.S. Senate and win, Georgiou said.
It is not uncommon for Congressional
leaders to intervene in party primaries
back home. In 2010, Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell (R) endorsed
then-Kentucky Secretary of State Trey
Grayson and worked hard to aid his cam-
paign, only to see now-Sen. Rand Paul
win the GOP primary. Reid himself played
behind the scenes in the 2010 Republican
Senate primary in Nevada in an efort to
ensure the defeat of Sue Lowden, the can-
didate widely thought to have been Reids
strongest general election opponent.
Sharron Angle (R) ultimately won the
Republican primary but lost to Reid by 5
points, a stunning margin considering how
unpopular the Democrat was with Nevada
voters. Beyond Angles fawed candidacy,
Reids victory was attributed mainly to a
get-out-the-vote operation described by
many political analysts as the best non-
presidential ground game ever executed.
Reid is planning to make this machine
available to Berkley, both in the primary
and the general election, which is a key
reason Nevada Democrats give Georgiou
no chance of winning the primary. The
senior Reid aide said the Majority Lead-
er has spoken up in recent days because
Georgiou had been telling Nevada Dem-
ocrats that Reid supports him and the
Senator wanted to set the record straight.
That was clearly a message that hes
not happy with him running, said Assem-
blyman Tick Segerblom (D), who repre-
sents Las Vegas. Hes made his decision
on Shelley and now is maybe not-so-gen-
tly trying to push Byron to the side.
One Democratic consultant with no ties
to either candidate said it is odd Georgiou
is going to pass up great opportunities to
win a House seat. Georgiou fnished sec-
ond in the Democratic primary in House
races in San Diego in 1990 and 1992.
He simply cant overcome Reid and
Berkley, the source said. If the Repub-
licans cant beat the Democrats in the
Nevada Senate race in 2010, then I dont
see how an outsider Democrat beats the
Democrats in 2012.
Some Nevada Republicans argue
that Georgiou ofers Democrats a better
chance against Heller, given his profle as
an outsider and a businessman. They con-
tend Georgiou might perform better in
this swing state in an election that features
the presidential contest at the top of the
ticket. But Berkleys supporters disagree.
A source close to the Congresswoman
emphasized that she has her own top-
notch team and runs her own campaign,
though the source conceded that Reids
assistance gives her the leg up.
Reid has held two fundraisers on her
behalf and has made the Nevada State
Democratic Party what it is today. And that
infrastructure puts her at a serious advan-
tage, the source said. Of the two fundrais-
ers Reid has hosted for Berkley, one was in
Nevada and the other in Washington, D.C.
Billy Vassiliadis, a Democratic consul-
tant in Nevada and an adviser to Reids
campaign last year, said Reids goal is to
simply ensure a Democrat wins the gen-
eral election next year.
Hes got his majority leadership at
stake here, Vassiliadis said. Given the
retirements from senior Democratic
Senators, this is about the majority. ...
Common sense would probably say that
the Senator would be really troubled, but
I think hes just begun to swing.

received for nearly a century. And oil and
gas companies arent sitting on the side-
lines, either.
I think they continue to educate the
Members on the Hill on how important
these things are for everybody, one Re-
publican lobbyist said of oil and gas and
wind energy companies. When push
comes to shove, well see what happens.
... Any entity that has certain types of tax
treatments is very worried.
The anxiousness appears to be war-
ranted.
Senate Republican Conference Chair-
man Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) last week
came out strongly for eliminating tax
breaks to reduce the defcit a position
that took on the partys long-held ortho-
doxy embodied in Americans for Tax Re-
forms anti-tax pledge. Most Republicans,
including Alexander, have signed that
pledge to resist tax increases in any form.
But Alexander made it clear again Tues-
day that he didnt feel bound by ATR Presi-
dent Grover Norquists pledge.
My only pledge is to the United States
fag and to the United States Constitution,
and Ive forsworn all others, Alexander
said.
But he said getting rid of tax breaks
should be part of a larger tax reform over-
haul, not the Biden defcit talks.
Fundamentally, the Biden discussions
are not about taxes, they are about spend-
ing, he said.
Alexanders position that tax breaks
can be eliminated to shrink the defcit,
however, is gaining support among Sen-
ate Republicans.
Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) is one of
a number of Senate Republicans who
voiced support for eliminating tax sub-
sidies after the ethanol vote. He said K
Street lobbyists who have been protecting
special tax provisions for decades should
be on notice.
I hope theyre worried, and I believe
that Sen. Alexander is right and that we
should look at a lot of these subsidies and
repeal a bunch of them, McCain said.
The debt and the defcit is obviously
having an impact on what otherwise used
to be sacred cows, he added.
Sen. Lindsey Graham agreed.
You cant be everything to everybody,
so were going to have to take some tax
breaks and deductions of the table just
to pay the bills, the South Carolina Re-
publican said.
House Democrats, led by Rep. Chris
Van Hollen (Md.), have proposed a broad
menu of tax subsidies to eliminate from
tax breaks for private jets to oil and gas
provisions. They are making their inclu-
sion a condition for backing a broader
deal that cuts spending programs Demo-
crats have long supported.
Still, House Majority Leader Eric Can-
tor, who represents House Republicans
in the Biden talks, on Tuesday afternoon
rejected the possibility of eliminating tax
loopholes and subsidies as part of a fnal
agreement on the debt limit. He argued
that targeting subsidies for the oil and gas
industry and other corporations wont gen-
erate enough revenue to help solve the na-
tions debt crisis. As a result, Cantor said,
You have to sort of wonder, is this about
policy and substance or politics?
The Virginia Republican insisted that
when Congress does take up the issue of
tax subsidies and loopholes, it must come
as part of a broader reform of the tax code.
Cantor also called on President Barack
Obama to step up.
The onus is really on the president
and his party, I think, to step up and show
theyre willing to do that because weve
said all along it is as reckless for us to just
check the box and raise the debt limit and
not reform the system and cut spending,
as it is for us to just abandon the thing al-
together, Cantor said.
The lobbying push also extends to
spending programs, with health care
providers particularly worried that they
will get whacked frst in a Biden-led deal
and then again later this year to help pay
to extend the doc fx that prevents pay-
ment cuts to doctors who treat Medicare
patients.
Whats happening is most of the con-
stituencies that seemed to avoid heavy
cuts in health reform are all on the chop-
ping block physicians interests, hos-
pitals and those that thought they had
made deals are all about to take a whack
this time, one health care lobbyist said.
Everything is situational. ... How long
could the pharmaceutical industry fend
of diferent proposals?
Democrats have pledged to oppose
cuts to Medicare benefts and are resisting
Republican proposals that would allow
states to kick millions of of the Medicaid
rolls, but they have been open to cutting
payments to providers.
Tom Williams/Roll Call
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Tuesday that industry tax provisions should not
be part of the debt talks in which he is participating.

legislative sessions.
Republicans ofered nearly two-thirds
of the more than 160 proposed amend-
ments for the three bills, according to a
CQ Roll Call analysis. Rep. Steve King
(R-Iowa) ofered 10 amendments, and
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) came
in third, behind Broun, ofering eight
amendments.
Brouns amendments stand out not
only because of the sheer number but also
because of the strategy of attempting to
chip away at the bills bottom-line num-
bers in a piecemeal fashion. Republican
amendments like those King ofered
have historically placed conditions and
prohibitions on how funds can be used.
Lawmakers from both parties typically
attempt to hack larger amounts from the
total appropriation or to shift money from
one account to another.
Six of the amendments Broun proposed
to the Agriculture bill attempted to cut less
than $100 million from various programs.
For instance, one Broun amendment
would have cut $21 million from the op-
eration and maintenance of Agriculture
Department buildings. Another proposal
would have entirely scrapped a $180 mil-
lion international child nutrition program
and four others made 10 percent cuts to
programs like the Agriculture Marketing
Service and the Women, Infants and Chil-
dren Supplemental Nutrition Program.
Broun also ofered an amendment to re-
duce by half the number of passenger mo-
tor vehicles the Agriculture Department
could purchase next year.
Brouns staf went through the bill pro-
vision by provision to identify spots where
they could make incremental cuts without
ofending constituents, Grifanti said.
Many of the programs I have proposed
cutting or eliminating are wasteful, do
not serve their original purpose, and have
grown exponentially in cost over the years
to the point where we can no longer af-
ford them, Broun said in a statement is-
sued last week.
But, while Broun saw nutrition and
research programs as an opportunity for
savings, it was a tough idea to sell to law-
makers on both sides of the aisle.
Were in the worst recession since the
Great Depression, said Ryan Nickel, a
Democratic aide on the House Appro-
priations Committee. How is a program
that already has to turn away 350,000
low-income women and children an op-
portunity for further cuts?
In the end, only one of Brouns amend-
ments was approved: a proposal to trim
the Homeland Security Departments
$6 million legislative afairs budget by
$600,000.
Broun, a conservative elected in 2007
who regularly accuses President Barack
Obama of being a socialist, ultimately
voted against the fnal bill to fund the
Agriculture Department just as he did for
the other spending bills passed this year
Homeland Security as well as military
construction and Veterans Afairs be-
cause they were too expensive.
Broun, who famously live-tweeted his
reactions to Obamas 2011 State of the
Union address from the comfort of his
Congressional ofce, has garnered public-
ity and raised eyebrows for his legislative
and political antics. He has introduced a
bill to ban sales of Playboy and Penthouse
magazines at military bases, and he took
part in a religious ceremony to anoint with
oil the Capitol passageway that Obama
walked through on his way to take the
presidential oath of ofce.
Jennifer Hing, a Republican aide on the
House Appropriations Committee, said
Brouns long list of amendments was no
surprise after the budget extensions this
winter.
The short-term funding resolution
passed in February was also considered
under the open-rule process, with more
than 600 amendments ofered and sever-
al Members proposing dozens of changes.
The Defense as well as Energy and
water appropriations bills are likely the
next spending measures the House will
consider. And Broun is primed to look for
more pockets of savings.

Liberals Rallying Around American Muslims
As Khera addressed the Netroots audi-
ence, a group of Muslim women protested
the RightOnline conservative conference
a few blocks away. They said a man with a
video camera had followed them the night
before, asking them why they had their
heads covered in America. The event was
well-covered on liberal blogs.
Some in Congress are also rising to de-
fend Muslims.
Last month, Rep. John Conyers (D-
Mich.) introduced a resolution calling on
the federal government to counter anti-
Muslim sentiment. The measure has 28
co-sponsors, all Democrats.
House Homeland Security Chairman
Peter King (R-N.Y.) is holding a series of
hearings on radicalization of American
Muslims; in response, Sen. Dick Durbin
(D-Ill.) in March led what he called the
frst-ever hearings on the civil rights of
American Muslims.
Additionally, a leading interfaith advo-
cacy group came to the Muslim communi-
tys side after the Republican presidential
debate to rebuke candidates Herman Cain
and former Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.).
When asked during the debate to clarify
an earlier comment that he would not be
comfortable with a Muslim in his admin-
istration, Cain said, I was thinking about
the ones that are trying to kill us.
Gingrich followed up with his own con-
cerns.
I just want to go out on a limb here. I
am in favor of saying to people, If youre
not prepared to be loyal to the United
States, you will not serve in my admin-
istration, period. We did this in dealing
with the Nazis, he said.
C. Welton Gaddy, president of the
Interfaith Alliance, which has 185,000
members representing 75 faiths, wrote
an open letter to President Barack Obama
and the Republican candidates present at
the debate criticizing those remarks.
If the most recent debate is any indi-
cation, this kind of rhetoric is not going
away, Gaddy wrote. But I urge you to do
your part to shift the debate and defend,
rather than attack the American Muslim
community.
Gaddy said in an interview that he and
other faith leaders are concerned Islam
could become a wedge issue in the presi-
dential campaign.
People who understand the role of re-
ligion in American politics cant help but
be concerned about this, he said.
Support from groups such as Interfaith
Alliance is especially important for Amer-
ican Muslims because their community is
so small. Fewer than 2 percent of Ameri-
cans are Muslim.
Were a small community by popula-
tion and many of our institutions are fairly
young. Itll be a little while before we are
really able to move the political needle,
said Corey Saylor, government afairs
director for the Council on American-
Islamic Relations.
Saylor said support from outside
groups is easily one of the most wel-
comed things in this whole scenario. ...
Youve seen energy in communities that
we dont usually see.
But the challenge Muslim activists face
is that support has come mainly from lib-
erals, while anti-Muslim sentiment ap-
pears to be growing among conservatives.
In a recent CNN poll, 26 percent of
Americans said they hold unfavorable
views of American Muslims.
Im optimistic but not in the short
term. Its going to be very bad going into
2012 because thats where the public is.
People are able to say hateful things be-
cause people do feel concern or suspicion
of Muslims, said Suhail Khan, a promi-
nent Muslim conservative and the leader
of the Conservative Inclusion Coalition.
Khan criticized Muslim advocacy
groups for not working more with con-
servative leaders, who he said must lead
the charge against anti-Muslim remarks
in order for public sentiments to change.
President [George W.] Bush, for all
his faults, at the very least was going to
mosques during the campaign and repeat-
edly sending out the message that our war
is not with Islam, Khan said. Now that
that voice is not there, thats why youre
seeing the mushrooming and the anger
from the community. When Obama says
the same thing, that has no efect.
Both as a candidate and as president,
Obama has been careful to balance court-
ing the Muslim vote with distancing him-
self from conservatives assertions that he
is secretly Muslim.
During the 2008 campaign, it was re-
tired Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican,
who unequivocally condemned those
allegations. Powell defended Obamas
Christianity and asserted, What if he is
[Muslim]? Is there something wrong with
being a Muslim in this country? The an-
swers no, thats not America.
Muslim Advocates Khera admitted
that her group has not yet reached out to
any of the Republican presidential can-
didates. But she said the group has been
meeting privately with Republican lead-
ers to urge them to speak up.
They share our concern about the ug-
liness of the rhetoric, she said.
Their voices, along with statements
of support for Muslims already made by
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
(R), will be more infuential than eforts
by Democrats in determining how Mus-
lims are discussed this campaign cycle,
Khan said.
At last weeks debate, Romneys re-
sponse to the Muslim question set him
apart from Cain and Gingrich.
I think we recognize that people of all
faiths are welcome in this country, Rom-
ney said. Our nation was founded on a
principle of religious tolerance.

mand a government review of the patents
validity. Its one of several contentious
elements in what was expected to be a
noncontroversial makeover of the patent
system.
But retailers, from McDonalds to
Match.com, have also been sued for in-
fringing on these kind of patents, which
they describe as low-quality patents held
by nonpracticing entities.
In the letter sent to House Judiciary
Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and
ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.),
French noted that the technologies are
used in merchants marketing, payment
and customer service practices.
For months, the Financial Services
Roundtable, the Independent Commu-
nity Bankers of America and other fnan-
cial trade groups have been leading the
fght for the provision, known as Section
18, arguing it is necessary to deal with
a spate of business-method patents
inappropriately issued earlier in the
decade for practices that were already
widely in use.
But when lobbyists for a few of these
patent holders began to gain traction
with lawmakers on both sides of the
aisle, the financial services industry
reached out to retailers still glowing
from their major victory on the swipe-
fee vote for help.
An amendment sponsored by Reps.
Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) and Maxine Waters
(D-Calif.) striking Section 18 from the bill
is expected to come up for a vote today on
the foor. Lobbyists on both sides spent the
week making their fnal case to lawmak-
ers and reporters, with business-method
patent holders arguing that the provision
amounts to an earmark for big banks,
which stand to save millions of dollars in
patent-infringment fees if it becomes law.
But for all the lobbying and controversy
surrounding Section 18, another road-
block in the form of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-
Okla.) could stand between patent reform
and presidents pen.
Even as House Republicans reached
an agreement Tuesday to move long-
stalled patent reform legislation, Coburn
remained opposed to any deal that gives
Congressional appropriators a hand in the
patent ofces fnances.
The bill, which enjoys the support of
the Obama administration, has been
bogged down thanks to a fght between
the Appropriations and Judiciary commit-
tees regarding oversight of how patent of-
fce fees are spent under the bill.
According to Senate aides familiar with
the situation, Coburn is unlikely to ac-

cept a last-minute deal cut in the House
that would segregate fees collected by the
Patent and Trademark Ofce in a separate
fund because the arrangement would
still give the Appropriations Committee
broad authority regarding how the funds
are spent. The Senate-passed bill allowed
the PTO to keep and use its fees.
He wants to talk to [House Majority
Leader Eric] Cantor ... but he is not in-
terested in giving the appropriators any
access to that fund, a Senate GOP aide
said, adding that the dispute is a classic
appropriations turf war.
But whether Coburn will end up us-
ing procedural tactics to block the bill re-
mains unclear as he continues to hold his
cards close to the vest. A Coburn spokes-
man declined to comment.
He always leaves all procedural op-
tions on the table and often comes up with
new ones, the Senate aide quipped.
It also remains unclear what efect Co-
burns opposition will have on the timing
of the legislation. At press time, the bill
was expected to go before the Rules Com-
mittee, and aides said foor consideration
could begin Wednesday.
But that could change because the hope
had been to pass a bill out of the House
that would easily pass muster in the Sen-
ate, allowing it to avoid a lengthy amend-
ment process and subsequent conference
committee.
Notably, after years of missteps on the
issue, the patent reform bill had widely
been seen as a rare example of policy leg-
islation that could pass both chambers
and make it to President Barack Obamas
desk.

The National Republican Congressio-
nal Committee will raise $1.5 million for
10 endangered incumbents at a fundrais-
er hosted by GOP leadership today.
The event, hosted by the entire roster
of House GOP leaders, will raise funds for
Members recently named to the NRCCs
Patriot program. The incumbent reten-
tion initiative began in 2009 and this
cycles efort got under way earlier this
month, when the NRCC named the frst
10 participants.
There are eight GOP freshmen who were
named to the program and will reap the f-
nancial benefts from todays fundraiser.
They are: Reps. Allen West (Fla.), Sean
Dufy (Wis.), Patrick Meehan (Pa.), Lou
Barletta (Pa.), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Frank
Guinta (N.H.), Francisco Quico Canseco
(Texas) and Joe Heck (Nev.). Also named to
the program were Rep. Charles Bass, who
won back his New Hampshire seat in 2010
after losing in 2006, and Rep. Tom Latham,
whose district was lumped in with a Demo-
cratic Member in the redistricting process
because Iowa is losing a seat.
These ten Patriots have [proved] their
leadership and commitment to building
strong, efective campaigns based on rig-
orous goals for victory, NRCC Chairman
Pete Sessions (Texas) said in a statement.
With the strong support of House Re-
publican leadership, Patriot Day provides
these Republican Members with the re-
sources they need to stay on ofense to
defeat Democrats and strengthen the Re-
publican Majority in 2012.
Republicans have 240 Members to de-
fend in next years elections, including 87
freshmen. The NRCC is expected to name
more incumbents to the Patriot program
later this year as they defend seats in
swing districts.
Rep. Greg Walden (Ore.), the NRCCs
deputy chairman, said the party is com-
mitted to staying on ofense and solidify-
ing our Majority next year.
Patriot Day helps make sure these 10
Members have the resources they need to
win so that the Republican Majority can
continue to focus on the priorities that
resonate with the American people: cre-
ating jobs, cutting spending, and reducing
debt, Walden said in a statement.

Sometimes, yes, my job is to keep can-
didates from saying something that will
blow up, that will make unintended head-
lines, Pendleton said over lunch near his
ofce in Washington, D.C.s Chinatown.
After that triage of making sure they
know what they should and shouldnt say
its fguring out the things that they say
are true to them.
Media training is something Demo-
crats and Republicans alike say is invalu-
able for candidates. Firms such as HDMK
and Pendletons 4C Partners, which was
formed two years ago by four former
DCCC stafers, ofer media training as
part of their range of services to campaigns
and clients. Both major parties national
committees contract with frms to provide
training for candidates and staf.
Campaigns can be well-funded and
well-organized and well-directed, but they
will succeed or fail on the power the can-
didate brings to the debate, said HDMKs
Terry Holt, a Republican consultant. The
personal characteristics that come out
its all about tapping into whats already
there.
Pendleton agreed. In Democrat Kathy
Hochuls victory last month in New Yorks
conservative 26th district, Pendleton and
media consultant Jon Vogel, who also
worked for Hochul, agreed the candidate
started out with a lot to build from.
During their frst conversation in train-
ing, Hochul explained to Pendleton that
she was a diner person that she made
her campaign staf stop at every diner they
drove by so she could just chat with folks.
When you hear that, you know that
this is a person that at the foundation
level just likes people, he said. In the
work I do, if they like people and they are
comfortable talking about what inspires
them and the things that are part of their
personal narrative, that is a really hard
combination to beat.
Pendleton, the only Democrat among a
family of seven growing up outside Phila-
delphia, said his mother has always used
the abortion issue as her litmus test for
candidates. However, she is also a big fan
of Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who sup-
ports abortion rights.
He recently mentioned to her that by
her own standards she would vote in a
hypothetical matchup for Sen. Bob Casey
(D-Pa.), who opposes abortion rights, over
Brown.
She looked at me, wrinkled her nose
and goes, No, I just like Scott Brown, he
said. Thats very powerful.

Seth Pendleton, a former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee stafer and now a Democratic consultant at 4C Partners,
specializes in media training for candidates.
the 1994 movie I.Q. In 2004, he had a
few months of from his masters degree
program at Harvards Kennedy School of
Government and decided to volunteer on
Democrat Ginny Schraders open-seat
campaign in Pennsylvanias 8th district. It
was there he met Brian Smoot, who would
later become his partner at 4C Partners.
They worked closely on media training
on that campaign, and during the 2006
cycle, Smoot called Pendleton and asked
him to join the campaign of now-former
Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.).
By then Pendleton had formed KNP
Communications with partners John
Nefnger and Matt Kohut. The trio met
at Harvard in 2004. KNP was founded
out of frustration during the 2004 presi-
dential election, when they saw Sen. John
Kerry (D-Mass.), a decorated war veteran,
painted as soft on national security. The
frm has focused largely on media training
and speaker training.
Pendleton and his KNP partners do
regular work for the Progressive Talent
Initiative run by Media Matters for Amer-
ica, a two-year-old program that puts up-
and-coming liberal talking heads through
a media training boot camp.
Following the 2006 cycle, Smoot was
hired as DCCC political director and
asked Pendleton to join him once again.
Pendleton was hired in October 2007 to
build and execute a new candidate train-
ing program at the committee. Pendleton
traveled around the country in 2008, as-
sisting Democratic House candidates
from Alabama to Minnesota to Arizona.
Part of debate prep is strategy know-
ing an opponents weaknesses and tak-
ing advantage of them. Pendleton said
now-former Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick was
able to fuster her opponent in Arizonas
1st district that year, when Pendleton and
her campaign team noticed Republican
Sydney Hay did not respond well to direct
questions from Kirkpatrick.
Pendleton likened the style of Kirkpat-
rick, who lost in 2010 and is running for
her old seat in 2012, to the late Texas Gov.
Ann Richards (D), whom Pendleton called
the ultimate happy warrior. Richards was
able to stick it to her opponents with a
smile on her face.
After a second straight cycle of Demo-
cratic gains in the House, Smoot, Pendle-
ton, Casey OShea and Nicole Runge left
the DCCC to open 4C Partners in 2009.
A few months later, Pendleton was coach-
ing now-former Rep. Scott Murphy (D-
N.Y.) in the 20th district special election.
Murphys win was the frst in a string of
Democratic victories in competitive spe-
cial elections that cycle that also included
New Yorks 23rd district and Pennsylva-
nias 12th. Pendleton worked on all three.
The candidates themselves matter a
lot more, and Seths work is especially im-
portant in special elections, when theres
more of an intense media scrutiny on the
candidates, said Vogel, who was DCCC
executive director last cycle. Making
sure the candidate is as sharp as possible
during a debate and giving them the con-
fdence to shine makes a big diference in
these races.
Pendleton believes nonverbal cues can
be equally important to any answer a can-
didate gives during a debate. So he uses
video as part of debate prep and training
for interviews with the media. He plays
the video of mock debates and interviews
for candidates so they can study, critique
and ultimately improve their own perfor-
mances.
I can talk all day long do this or dont
do that but when they see and hear how
they look and how they sound, they tend
to respond and say, Oh, I should probably
rethink that, Pendleton said.

From the Farm to NoMa:
Local Produce, Meats on Display
By Erin Mershon
Its not every day that you fnd fresh local fruits, veggies, cheeses and
meats amid the high-rise ofce buildings and fast food restaurants of the
business-heavy North of Massachusetts Avenue neighborhood.
Now, its Wednesdays.
The neighborhood, usually referred to as NoMa, opened its frst farmers
market last Wednesday afternoon. The market takes place on a sidewalk
plaza in front of the CVS at First and M streets Northeast. It will run Wednes-
days from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 26.
Organized by the NoMa Business Improvement District and managed by
Metro Green Markets, the small market ofers goods from eight vendors,
though a handful more may be added in the coming months. Various chef
demonstrations and tastings have also been planned for the summer and
fall.
Farmers markets have become an integral part of city living, said Liz
Price, president of the NoMa BID. Being able to get fresh produce at an
afordable price I think its going to add a whole other dimension to this
neighborhood. Its a real amenity for the people who work here and the
Vendors Hope Organic Goods Will Provide an Incentive, Regardless of
Hot Summer Temperatures, for Those Who Work, Live in Neighborhood

the vendors sell certifed organic
meats, charcuterie, goat cheeses, fresh
seasonal fruits, baked goods and jams.
everything the farmers sell at their stalls
is locally grown and produced.
its a producers-only market, said
donne Malloy, who manages the market
for Metro Green Markets. theres no re-
tailing. everything is in season, and you
have to grow what you sell, all the way
down.
noMas new market was launched in
response to several community surveys
in which residents said they most wanted
a neighborhood farmers market. So far,
community response has been very posi-
tive, according to Price and Malloy.
i think its great, said elissa Silver-
man, who works in the neighborhood
at Cnn and visited the market recently.
its a great asset. i just left my ofce
and im coming here to pick up a couple
things. i hope it grows. i hope it becomes
more successful.
Price and Malloy have high hopes
that the market will continue to thrive as
more residents move into noMa. they
planned the market for Wednesdays to
encourage the community to buy picnic
supplies before watching free movies in
a nearby park as part of noMa Bids Sum-
mer Screen initiative.
We really want First Street to become
the hub of the neighborhood, Price said.
Bringing a farmers market here is a key
part of that.
the market has launched without a

Capitol Police Freshen Up Fleet to Save Money
By Jessica Estepa
At frst glance, the police cars patrolling
Capitol hill dont look any diferent from
a typical feet car, with lights on top and
logos on the side.
But what tourists and stafers are see-
ing is a new set of cars with fresh and uni-
form designs, part of a fve-year plan to
keep the Capitol Polices feet up to date
and ready to go.
through some careful planning, the
new cars are expected to actually cut
about $2 million in costs for the depart-
ment over the long term.
Were saving in almost every aspect in
implementing the new feet, not only in
the vehicle costs but the equipment that
we install, said Marcelino Santos, man-
ager of the Capitol Police Vehicle Mainte-
nance division.
the process to replace the feet started
in 2008 and 2009, when the Capitol Po-
lice developed a fve-year plan to replace
its feet, which had been in use for nearly
10 years.
the major challenge was fguring out
how to replace the 201 cars, which had
much wear and tear after a decade on the
streets, while cutting costs.
rather than buying new cars, the de-
partment decided to rent them through
the General Services Administration,
which handles the federal governments
car purchases and rentals. the new cars
are being phased in, a process that started
in 2010 and will end next year.
the old cars, owned by the Capitol Po-
lice, are turned over to the GSA and then
sold.
the Capitol Police saved time and
money by working with the GSA to rent
the Ford Crown Victorias in bulk, rather
than having administration deal with it,
Santos said.
Capitol Police also made sure that the
new cars are all e85 compatible, allowing
them to use ethanol as fuel. the next step
was to fgure out a graphics redesign of the
car. Santos calls the old design which
emblazoned Police on the side, had a
large u.S. fag and splashes of light blue
busy and dated.
With a new feet and new cars, why
stick the old graphics on them? Santos
said.
the cars still use blue in the
design but are now a darker
blue that matches the Capitol
Police ofcers uniforms.
the cars also now feature
the Capitol Polices website
address, uscapitolpolice.gov.
the updated look was snap-
py enough that the depart-
ment decided to enter it in a
police vehicle design contest. theyll fnd
out the results later this year.
its defnitely a nice look, and were
proud of it, Santos said.
the lights received a touch-up, mov-
ing from a rotating series to a strobe se-
ries. that means the leds on the top of
the cars are thinner and brighter and use
little power, making them more efective.
Because the new lights use less power,
theyre less likely to need repairs, another
money-saving measure.
the old cars were in the shop often,
Santos said, so ofcers had a lot of down-
time while they waited for their cars to be
fxed. that wont be an issue with the new
feet.
When you minimize the downtime,
you keep them out on the streets, he said.
thats where they need to work.
Santos joked that he now misses seeing
the ofcers hanging around his ofce.
theyre never here anymore, he said.
But its for the best.
much, other than that we made it, were
here and the customers showed up. Most
seemed not to know that there was in fact
a market, said Jamie Stachowski of Sta-
chowski Brand Charcuterie.
Malloy is confdent that consumers
will come in time.
i think its going to be word of mouth,
and weve done a lot of advertising, she
said. For instance, on Wednesday a lot
of people came but went home because
it was 100 degrees outside. You learn to
deal with the weather. ... the farmers
pick in the rain and in the heat and you
can go shopping. the weather shouldnt
matter.
even in the heat, most of the vendors
were happy to start selling in a new loca-
tion.
its always a good day in the market,
Stachowski said.

26 Roll Call Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Whereas: Congressman Luis Gutierrez was born in Chicago of Puerto Rican parents.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez represents district four of the state of Illinois whose citizens are his constituents.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez has never been elected to represent the interests of the people of Puerto Rico and therefore has
never been authorized to speak in the name of the 3.7 million U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez lives in Chicago where he enjoys all the rights and privileges that Puerto Ricans would lose if
they opted for the independence status that he favors and actively promotes, and 97 % of Puerto Ricans reject.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez has characterized himself for being a spokesman for Puerto Rican independence causes and
those of the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico in the diferent forums in the United States and Congress
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez has constantly received fnancial support from fund raising activities organized and sponsored
by supporters of both independence and the Popular Democratic Party.
Whereas: During the past three months, Congressman Gutierrez has taken upon himself to opposing and criticizing in the
Congressional foor everything that the democratically elected government of Puerto Rico is working on to get the island out of a
ten-year economic downturn whose root is precisely the poor administration practices of the Popular Democratic Party and its
outdated socioeconomic model.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez vehemently and strongly leashed out a diatribe against the Puerto Rican government and its
police force for supposedly having violated the rights of a group of radical violent striking students of the University of Puerto Rico
that were forcibly interfering with the rights of students, professors, researchers and workers that responsibly and peacefully
wanted to gain entrance to the university campus. The police was only safeguarding the civil rights of those who wanted to enter
though the university gates against the violent and forcible opposition of those that Congressman Gutierrez so staunchly defends.
Whereas: What Congressman Gutierrez did with his diatribe from the Congressional foor was in efect an act of solidarity and
defense of the supposed rights of a small group of masked students that destroyed and vandalized public and private property at
the Rio Piedras university campus, intimidated, forcibly removed students and professors from their classrooms at the Natural
Sciences Faculty Building where they were taking their fnal examinations and not satisfed with this they set on fre its library
causing estimated damages for more than $2 million. These violations were conveniently omitted and went uncensored by the
Congressman in his speech from the Congressional foor.
Whereas: The state police had to be called to the campus by the university administration in order to establish order in the
prevailing state of violence and anarchy generated by the delinquent and politically motivated few students that the Congressman
defends. In a clear case of undemocratic behavior, their acts impaired the majority of students who did want to study from
exercising their right to do so. Is this what a U.S. Congressman should be defending?
Whereas: More than 66% of the citizens of the island defended the actions taken by the university administration and the police
during the riots and condemned the acts of physical aggression that the small group of violent striking students committed
against Chancellor Ana Guadalupe. These undemocratic acts were watched on television and repudiated by all of Puerto Rico. This
was again conveniently omitted and uncensored by the Congressman.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez, in another of his recent addresses from the congressional foor blasted the government of
Puerto Rico, and staunchly opposed and objected the planning and construction of a natural gas pipeline in order to reduce our
dependence in foreign oil and to provide a viable alternative to reduce current high costs of electricity on the island.
Whereas: Congressman Gutierrez has threatened the present government of Puerto Rico with obstructing all requests and
granting of the necessary permits for the construction of the proposed natural gas pipeline at the concerned federal agencies,
which if approved would result in favor of the best interests of the people in the island who pay a lot more for electricity than any
other U.S. citizen. Whose interests is Mr. Gutierrez representing? Certainly not Puerto Ricos.
Therefore: We The voice of the truth about Puerto Rico a group of US citizens that believe in a permanent union with the United
States, declare Congressman Luis Gutierrez persona non grata and call upon him not to interfere in the internal afairs of Puerto
Rico and concentrate his energies and eforts on his constituency from the state of Illinois.
Therefore: We call upon all the members of Congress not to pay any attention to the ridiculous speeches and accusations made by
this Congressman for they are nothing but political favors on behalf of his fnancial contributors and those who wish to impose the
will of the few over the democratic majority on the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and its 3.7 million U.S. citizens. To obstruct and
criticize the valiant eforts by the Government of Puerto Rico to make our economy and society vibrant again is shameful. To do so
using the Congressional mantle is an oppressive abuse of democracy for the sake of benefting political contributors and the few
socialists left on the island. Leave us in peace to do the work, Mr. Gutierrez!
Manifest against the constant interventions
of Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) in Puerto Ricos politics.

Mindless Cuts Can Have Dangerous Results
Bv NonMAN OnNsTcIN

Last wcck, at thc
Committcc for a
Rcsponsibc Fcd-
cra Budgcts confcrcncc, my formcr co-
caguc (and formcr Ro Ca imprcsario)
Jim Gassman compaincd that thc focus
of thc confcrcncc, |ust ikc Congrcss, was
on how to cut thc budgct and gct past thc
dcbt cciing and dcbt crisis, whic ignoring
a argcr issuc how to grow thc cconomy
to crcatc a bcttcr ifc for our chidrcn and
grandchidrcn.
Hc notcd that thcrc arc many idcas
out thcrc to cnhancc cconomic growth,
sharcd by both partics or ocring op-
posing vicws. Thosc idcas might incudc
(somc of thcm on my ist) a bcttcr tax
codc, owcr margina ratcs, cvcn, a a Tim
Pawcnty, sashing taxcs by cvcn morc
mind-bogging amounts; it might mcan
morc spcnding on infrastructurc, scicncc
and cducation.
Gassman pcadcd for a changc of sub-
|cct, or at cast a broadcr dcbatc. I agrcc
and woud ca for an cvcn broadcr dcbatc
than hc did: onc that focuscs not |ust on
cconomic growth but thc rangc of ways
wc can try to crcatc a bcttcr socicty for
our ncxt gcncrations, such as managing
our budgct cuts to makc surc wc mini-
mizc unintcndcd and countcrproductivc
conscqucnccs.
But in our dysfunction, wc arc dcbat-
ing ony atcrnativc visions of how to cut
spcnding, which is as much about rc-
cxivcy cutting thc roc of govcrnmcnt
as it is about dchcits and dcbt (witncss
Pawcntys aughabc pan that woud
add S11 triion to thc dcbt ovcr thc ncxt
dccadc).
And in that dcbatc wc arc scarccy
touching on scrious qucstions of what
parts of govcrnmcnt to cut or ciminatc
and thc conscqucnccs for socicty.
This vacuum cmcrgcd again ast
wcck whcn Housc Rcpubicans |ammcd
through, on a partisan votc, an appropria-
tions bi that sashcd funding for food
safcty and barrcd thc Food and Drug Ad-
ministration from impcmcnting thc ma-
|or food safcty aw cnactcd in thc 111th
Congrcss.
I wrotc about this sct of issucs caricr
this ycar, whcn thc Housc pan to cut
discrctionary spcnding in thc continu-
ing rcsoution incudcd an ccctivc 22
pcrccnt cut for thc rcmaindcr of thc hsca
ycar for thc mcat-inspcction scrvicc of thc
Dcpartmcnt of Agricuturc and an cquiva-
cnt cut for food inspcction from thc FDA,
aong with a dccp cut in thc Ccntcrs for
Discasc Contro and Prcvcntion.
As I pointcd out, using data from Scott
Liy, formcr sta dircctor of thc Housc
Appropriations Committcc, thc cuts in
mcat inspcction woud mcan scrious fur-
oughs among mcat inspcctors and thcir
support sta, who account for morc than
90 pcrccnt of thc agcncy budgct.
That in turn coud bc cxtrapoatcd to
mcan about a miion pounds of taintcd
mcat and poutry bcing put on thc shcvcs
in supcrmarkcts and butchcr shops and on
thc mcnu in rcstaurants.
Givcn thc statistics wc havc on thc
numbcr of foodbornc incsscs that hit
Amcricans cach ycar 4S miion that
rcsut in 12S,000 hospitaizcd and 3,000
kicd, thosc cuts woud surcy mcan morc
hospitaizations and morc dcaths.
Cuts in thc FDA mcan fcwcr inspcc-
tions of pants in China that providc food
additivcs, many of which havc incudcd
toxic substanccs.
Cuts in thc CDC mcan a csscr capac-
ity to dca with an cpidcmic if and whcn
onc ariscs.
Thcsc cuts arc thc cquivacnt of a fami-
y dcciding to cut its own budgct by scing
its smokc dctcctors and rcpacing its fur-
nacc and ights with opcn kcroscnc amps
and ciminating its homc insurancc at
thc samc timc. You can savc moncy, a
right, unti thc incvitabc disastcr.
I was in Europc whcn thc dcvastating
cascs of E. coi in Gcrmany causcd, it
now appcars, by taintcd sprouts from Gcr-
many roicd thc country and causcd sc-
rious cconomic disruption for vcgctabc
farmcrs, distributors and sccrs in Spain,
Gcrmany, Portuga and cscwhcrc, bc-
sidcs a numbcr of dcaths.
Thcsc kinds of cuts arc scriousy stupid
and countcrproductivc, but thc dcbatc
on thc Housc oor brushcd any conccrns
asidc with thc mantra of cutting dchcits
and thc argumcnt that our food suppy is
safc bccausc thc privatc scctor wants it to
bc safc.
Of coursc, no food suppicr wants to gct
sucd. But if thc privatc scctor coud scf-
managc this probcm, wc woud not havc
sccn thc mcat inspcctors pu 9 miion
pounds of taintcd mcat and poutry from
thc systcm ast ycar.
Whcthcr it is oshorc driing, buid-
ing construction, airinc travc or sausagc
production, stu happcns and corncrs arc
cut to rcducc costs or makc biggcr prohts.
Indcpcndcnt inspcctions arc mandatory.
Rcguators can bc capturcd by intcrcsts,
as happcncd for dccadcs at thc Intcrior
Dcpartmcnt whcn it comcs to oi driing,
or can bc sothfu or incm cicnt. But thcy
arc ncccssary for both pubic safcty and
pubic conhdcncc.
Thcrc arc paccs to cut budgcts, and
thcrc is a ncccssary roc for Congrcss in
ovcrsccing rcguators and inspcctors,
making surc thcy opcratc in a can, mcan
and ccctivc fashion.
But mindcss cuts that arc uttcry pcn-
ny-wisc and pound-fooish, ikc thcsc,
show how distortcd our dcibcrativc pro-
ccss has bccomc. In thc hcadong rush to
providc a bcttcr hsca futurc for our chi-

Please Stay of the Grass
Seth de Matties, a Library of Congress employee, walks a slackline Monday in Stanton
Park on Capitol Hill. Slacklining is a sport similar to tightrope walking in which the object
is to keep from falling, but the rope is more fexible, allowing for more dynamic moves
up and down.

With gas prices sky high, I need public
transportation now more than ever.
Kate Lilja, Salt Lake City
Uncertainty in other parts of the world is making
higher gas prices a certainty here at home.
The last time gas prices were this high, record
numbers of Americans turned to public transit
as an affordable, dependable option to get them
where they needed to go.
Now, Congress i s proposi ng to cut publ i c
transportation investments right as our country
needs it most. Unless Congress gets serious about
investing in public transit, our infrastructure
wont be ready for the increased ridership and
American commuters could be left stranded.
Congress: Keep America moving.
Pass a robust, long-term transportation bill.
