Should the American Jobs an Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010 be enacted?
National Write Your Congressman's Mission
To encourage responsible Americans to use their influence in government to preserve the freedoms set forth by our Founding Fathers.

Quick Ballot
American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010
The Senate is scheduled to take up the $113 billion American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, which was approved by the House (H.R.4213). The proposed legislation would revive a variety of business tax breaks, extend expanded unemployment benefits through Nov. 30 and prevent a scheduled payment cut for doctors under Medicare through 2011. Please note that this is a complex measure, go to http://www.spesend.net/SpeClicks.aspx?X=2R0QE581HVFHC2IS01NMW8 for additional information.
Should Congress pass H.R. 4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010?
For: Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA)
“There are four reasons I will vote for this bill. It extends unemployment benefits for America’s jobless workers at a time when they need it most, providing basic assistance for needy families. It extends the temporary increase in the federal Medicaid matching funds delivered to the states. ...It provides critical assistance to those struggling to pay for healthcare by extending the COBRA premium assistance program. It extends the Research and Development Tax Credit to the end of this year, a tax credit I have fought to make permanent...”
Against: Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT)
“I rise today with regret that I am unable to cast my vote in support of H.R.4213 as it stands. While I support many of the provisions contained in the bill, I generally will not and cannot support increased spending that does not meet the true spirit of the PAYGO…Today, I take a step towards thoughtfully rebalancing the budget. While we all know that the economy has by no means fully recovered, it’s time to pull back government spending so that we don’t find ourselves in an even more dangerous fiscal predicament down the road.”

Meet and Greet tonight for Miller-Meeks for Congress from 6 to 8 pm at Noelridge Park ...
Carole and I are proud to support Miller-Meeks for Congress in the 2Nd Congressional District in the State of Iowa. We believed in her in 2008 and we believe she is the right candidate for our community in 2010.
We invite you to Meet and Greet Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks from 6 to 8 pm at Noelridge Park at the Creekside Pavilion. We believe Miller-Meeks is the right candidate to defeat David Loebsack in the 2Nd November General Election. History likely plays a big role in this election. Feel free to visit with me about this important race for Congress. I plan to be at tonight's Meet & Greet. Mariannette is seeking our vote in as the Republican nomination for Congress on June 8Th in the Republican Primary.
The Creekside Pavilion at Noelridge Park will be the site of the Thursday, June 3Rd Meet & Greet for Miller-Meeks. Directions: Located at the north end of Golf Street NE about three blocks north of 42Nd Street. Pavilion is on the east or right side of Golf Street as you travel from 42Nd and Golf.
Miller-Meeks lost to Loebsack by a 3-2 margin in 2008. But much has changed
since that strong Democratic year swept Barack Obama to the presidency and gave the Democrats a near filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate. And we think Miller-Meeks, now two years older and wiser, is the candidate best able to ride this election cycle's anti-incumbent wave and give Loebsack a run for his
money. - Press-Citizen endorsement
Our View - Miller-Meeks best choice for 2nd District - Iowa City Press-Citizen
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Tracie Gibler with the Miller-Meeks campaign at 641.777.4251.

Mariannette sits down with Bob Morrison to discuss the issues facing Iowa and the United States! Bob Morrison runs a Public Access Show in Muscatine County, Iowa in the 2Nd Congressional District of our State.

The R&P Report on Current Federal Legislation for the week of April 26, 2010 ...
We received the following R&P Report from National Write Your Congressman ...
Vol. 14 No. 2-12

REVIEW
Unemployment Package: Senate Democrats won a key test in their push to extend unemployment benefits and several other recently lapsed federal programs in an extension bill. After hitting a procedural snag earlier in the day, the Senate voted 60-40 to advance the bill that would extend programs for an additional month. Only four Republicans voted in favor of the bill. Offsetting costs is a point of contention.(H.R.4851)
Republican Appointment: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) appointed Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) to serve as counsel to the Republican Senate leadership team.
Campaign Finance Bill: With their campaign finance bill due to be introduced in coming days, House Democrats revealed details of how they plan to promote the bill. It is expected to increase campaign finance disclosure, political coordination and disclaimer requirements, while imposing new limits on political involvement by government contractors and foreign governments.
Financial Services Overhaul: Although the gulf between Democrats and Republicans over how to revamp the nation’s oversight of financial services appears to be growing, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is moving overhaul legislation to the floor. Republicans immediately objected to the motion to consider the legislation. Sen. Reid responded by scheduling April 26 as the day to cast a vote on the motion to proceed. The GOP has vowed to block that. (S.3217)
Immigration: As midterm elections approach, lawmakers are under constituent pressure to show progress on an immigration overhaul. Including a path toward citizenship for undocumented immigrants that is viewed as a way to avoid the risk of alienating Latino voters, a constituency whose turnout is expected to prove pivotal in states such as Nevada, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid faces a tough re-election race.
Climate Change Measure: Authors of a Senate climate change draft bill are attempting to rewrite a core section addressing transportation sector emissions, raising doubts that the long-awaited unveiling will proceed as scheduled this week.
The section being revised was decided upon after numerous meetings with representatives of oil and gas companies. It would have imposed a fee on petroleum-based motor fuels linked to the amount of carbon in the fuel and other elements. The fee would be added to the price of fuel at the pump. New language could include expanding nuclear power.

PREVIEW
Tax Writers and S Corporations: Lawmakers looking for revenue to offset the costs in a tax bill are taking a close look at certain types of small businesses. They are considering a provision that would make it harder for owners of those companies to avoid paying employment taxes.
A similar provision that would have affected companies organized as S corporations was included in a 2007 proposal. That provision would have required employees who are also owners of service businesses to pay self-employment taxes on their profits. (H.R. 4213)

Financial Services: The House Financial Services Committee is expected to approve higher premium limits for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in an effort to secure the mortgage insurer’s long-term financial solvency. The bill considered by the panel would allow the FHA to raise the maximum allowable annual mortgage insurance premium on loans that it guarantees. (H.R.5027)
The Week Ahead: The Senate is scheduled to take up a financial regulatory overhaul bill. The House is expected to consider bills dealing with misspent federal funds, overhauling the Pentagon’s acquisition system, and Puerto Rico’s political status.

Fact Check on Governor Chet Culver ...
According to the Republican Party of Iowa ...
Republican Party of Iowa FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE,
Contact: Danielle Plogmann September 17, 2009

FACT CHET
Governor misleads Iowans about state spending—AGAIN!
Statement from Governor Culver
Discussing the state budget, Governor Culver said: “We’re actually spending less in 2010–two-and-a-half percent less than we did in 2008.”
Source: Des Moines Register, 9-17-09. Click here.
Fact Check
Governor Culver’s statement is deceptive and misleading. Due to the receipt and expenditure of one-time federal stimulus money to backfill shortfalls in general fund revenue, state spending in 2010 is actually higher than in 2008.
State general fund appropriations in 2008 (understanding there was no federal stimulus aid to the states in 2008) totaled $5.9 billion.
State general fund appropriations in 2010 (including the $530 million in general fund expenditures being funded by federal stimulus receipts) totaled $6.3 billion.
The loss of this one-time stimulus money is a major portion of the projected $900 million general fund budget hole Governor Culver and Democratic lawmakers have created in the upcoming budget year (FY11).
