@iamchrisbaker Your question is ridiculous. He opposed the stimulus package, he doesn't oppose stimulus. His district shouldn't lose federal dollars to neighboring districts because they were opposed to it. Its their money.

#2 Some of Congressman Schock's bipartisan votes have been unfortunate and not decidedly conservative. I hope to see him develop a more conservative voting record similar to Congressman Peter Roskam from suburban Chicago.

If the stimulus is such a waste of money, why did you try to get $137 million for your district? Why not take the principled stand of not benefiting from programs you oppose?
