"We need to change the provision that guarantees homeland security funding for every state. This only leads to wasted spending on pet projects that have little or nothing to do with homeland security." www.jerrymcnerney.org ******* HOW HE REALLY VOTES!!! ******** McNerney voted to continue to waste hard-earned taxpayer dollars on pet projects when he voted against a proposal to impose an immediate earmark moratorium until both parties could come together to fix Washington?s mess of an earmark process. (House Roll Call 32) McNerney voted in lock-step with the liberal Democrat leadership to fund duplicitous pet projects over critical human intelligence. (House Roll Call 117) By voting for the Democrats' $124 billion supplemental spending bill, McNerney voted for legislation "stuffed full of pork," according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonprofit, nonpartisan government watchdog group. (House Roll Call 186) McNerney voted to allow hidden earmarks to be tucked into the Democrats' SCHIP bill, despite his promise to be part of the "most open Congress in history." (House Roll Call 902) McNerney seems to be a fan of wasteful spending and bureaucratic tape. McNerney voted to throw away taxpayers' hard-earned dollars on needless and duplicative federal programs. (House Roll Call 936) McNerney and the Democrat leaders of the so-called, self-proclaimed "most open Congress in history," have closed the door on any possibility for amendments or debate on a series of appropriations bills. As a result, 54 never before seen earmarks were stealthily placed into various appropriations bills at the expense of important funding for our troops, our veterans and hard working Americans.
