HE ENVIRONMENT * 1,861 water systems in 29 states have been contaminated with MTBE, exposing as many as 45 million Americans to this potential carcinogen, but Rep. Weldon voted to protect the companies responsible from lawsuits by communities that need their help to clean up these systems. * Rep. Weldon voted for a massive sell off of public lands to mining interests.
* Rep. Weldon opposed expanding access to the military's TRICARE health insurance program to thousands of Reservist and National Guard members, even though 20 percent of all Reservists do not have health insurance, and 40 percent of Reservists aged 19 to 35 lack health coverage.* Rep. Weldon voted against granting a bonus to grant a $1,500 bonus to every American service member serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, including National Guard and Reserve forces.
* Rep. Weldon voted to continue awarding contracts to Halliburton even if the Pentagon's own audit processes found that more than $100 million of their contractor's costs in Iraq were unreasonable.
It's all about expanding the military industrialist complex to these crooks. Our military is too big and people don't realize that is partly why we are in debt.
Weldon has taken: * $1,020 from Tom DeLay's ARMPAC. * $1,000 from convicted DeLay associate Jack Abramoff.
With all of these ties to the DeLay/Abramoff mess, is it any surprise that Weldon has: * Voted to weaken House ethics rules when DeLay proposed doing so as GOP Majority Leader. * Voted with Tom DeLay 85% of the time (through 3/31/2006)
TIES WITH THE GOP LEADERSHIP * Weldon has taken $1,000 from House Majority Leader John Boehner. * Weldon received $5,000 from House Majority Leader John Boehner's "Freedom Project" PAC. * Weldon received $10,000 from GOP Whip Roy Blunt's "Rely on Your Beliefs" PAC. * Weldon voted with President Bush 82% of the time. * Weldon voted the GOP party line 87% of the time.
HIGHER EDUCATION? * While tuition costs are rising for ordinary Americans, Rep. Weldon voted to cut Federal student aid by $12.7 billion -- the biggest such cuts in history.
STEM CELL RESEARCH? * Rep. Weldon sided with social conservatives against patients with debilitating diseases and voted against expanding Federal funding of stem cell research.
Weldon's also one of the most pro-union Republicans in Congress. While you're at it, why don't you post the sources of all the campaign contributions to your buddy Sestak?
GOP "HEALTH CARE" * Big drug interests have given $59,900 to Weldon over the Representative's career. They know who their friends are. * Rep. Weldon voted for the GOP Medicare Prescription Drug Bill that will give billions to businesses and the health care industry, while forcing seniors to accept annual increases in premiums and deductibles and a growing gap in coverage for the prescription drugs they buy.
On the "core issues" of the Bush agenda, Weldon has been with Bush:
HOW WELDON RESPONDS TO HIGH ENERGY PRICES * Rep. Weldon voted against cracking down on the oil and gas industries price gouging. * Rep. Weldon voted for the GOP energy bill that gave billions to oil, gas and nuclear industries. * Big oil and gas industries have given Rep. Weldon $70,500. Any surprise?

I hope you realize he hasn't been helping unions since 2000. Look into what you say before you just regurtitate what you've been told.
