Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Tim Walberg released the following statement about the Budget Control Act:

"I am acutely concerned for the direction of the country, and the current path of mounting debt for future generations. I am working to achieve the largest possible spending cuts and long-term deficit reduction and spending reform.
We have made some significant accomplishments by passing a 2011 Budget that cut $38.5 billion in one year, the Ryan Budget that cut $5.8 trillion in spending over ten years, and the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act. The president unfortunately repeatedly stands in the way of significant, necessary fiscal reforms. I believe the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act is the best solution, but I am voting today to continue its basic principles moving forward to find a solution that reduces spending, encourages job creation, and advances a Balanced Budget Amendment."

OK. Stop the increases with a simple statement of "Hell No Mr. President."

C'mon Tim. Get this Republican delegation committed to another term of support by an intact base. Republicans that allow the debt to increase will face primary challengers in 2012. Republicans who wish to appease the worst president in the history of the country will capitulate.

Your call.
