Now, Judy supports Sen. Obama’s program with new mega-billion dollar health-care maintenance programs and coverage for 45 million uninsured. They offer ROM guesstimates of tax revenues needed for government operations.
Judy’s campaign for Congress reflects her limited understanding of Rep. Wolf’s role in identifying and resolving local, national and international security, economic stability and prosperity problems and opportunities.
Rep. Wolf represents individual and community interest and leads legislative efforts on their behalf. He serves on the House Appropriations Committee, and the Transportation Subcommittee, critically important to Virginia's 10th District.
On Sept. 30, 2008, the House Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (H.R. 3997) was brought to a vote. Congressman Wolf understood that a freeze of the country’s critical financial credit markets would substantially impact his constituents. He voted for this legislation to begin restoring confidence and stability in our country's credit markets, and economy.
Rep. Wolf understands that the American people want Congress to pass a comprehensive "all of the above" energy package to get us on the road to energy independence. Rep. Wolf has long supported environmentally friendly oil and gas exploration, drilling off our coasts and in Alaska; and supports wind, solar, nuclear and clean coal energy options.
Congressman Wolf noted that the September 2008 Democratic energy bill, (H.R.6899), did not respond to America’s needs. The "No Energy" bill permanently locks up 80 percent of American energy on the Continental Shelf, oil on Alaska’s North Slope; and doesn’t provide for refineries to be built on American soil. Although it provides for a little bit of offshore drilling, Virginia and other coastal states are blocked from sharing in the tax revenue as federal law allows for other states.
Congressman Wolf cosponsors the American Energy Act, (H.R. 6566), which provides comprehensive renewable energy strategy, improves energy conservation and promotes new energy technologies to reduce America’s increasingly dangerous dependence on foreign oil; but Democratic leadership blocks floor action.
