    Michigan Rep. Dave Camp Frozen Out of Stimulus Bill Conference Committee

    (So much for bipartisanship... promoted by Nick.)

    I just got off the phone with House Representative Dave Camp's office.

    Rep. Camp was supposed to be a member of the Conference Committee on the Stimulus Bill and I was calling to see if the so called "health care" provision had been removed from Bill

    I was unable to get that information because Rep. Camp didn't take part in the conference. According to his office he was "frozen out" of any decision making. As reported in the Midland Daily News

    I also called the other Republican House Rep. Jerry Lewis (CA) who also was supposed to be on the Conference Committee to confirm and was told this

    There were two meetings called by the chairman, Senator Daniel Inouye (D- HI) The Republicans Reps were allowed to make a statement at these meetings, the bill was never discussed. Both meetings were adjourned without any input from Republicans other than the statements. The Bill was debated behind closed doors by the Democrats only.

    It was then announced a "compromise" was made and the bill was ready to be voted on.

    The Republicans, and it is my understanding at this time, Republican Senators included had no input on the debate or the decision making of the final so called compromise!

    This is outrageous! Every American who is represented by a Republican was not represented in the process. We were "frozen out"

    This my friends is an example of how this administration intends to work. Chicago politics on a national scale.

    And as Nancy Pelosi hissed, "WE won"

    The GOP (none / 0) (#2)

    has a couple of things we have to do.  First of all, come up with a coherent and agreed upon alternative to this stimulus bill, and push it.

    Second, we have to continue to emphasize stuff like this.

    I believe the American people are expecting some kind of help from the Federal Government... but they don't like this bill and all the crap in it.

    We are on the outs with many people, and so on.

    Which explains why the polls show support is low for the bill, but support for the GOP is lower.
