Thread: Sen. Cornyn, TX is almost on the Conference Committee!!!!!!

Anyone who thinks Cornyn is on our side is just fooling themselves. That traitor will stab Americans in the back the first chance he gets. The following was taken directly from his website about 1-2 years ago.

Here is the link to this story.

Expanded access to healthcare services for children, pregnant women, undocumented immigrants, in rural areas and other underserved communities.
– Support funds for 1200 new or expanded Community Health Centers over five years, including 170 centers in 2003, which will provide services to a million more patients.
– Ensure that Texas receives its fair share of Community Health Center funds. Texas accounts for 11% of the nation’s uninsured but gets only 6% of the program’s funds.
– Expand the National Health Services Corps to hire and train bilingual, professional health “promotoras” to go door-to-door in underserved areas. The program would also include scholarships and loan assistance to encourage doctors, nurses, dentists, and mental health clinicians to practice in under-served communities.

Cornyn also supports exempting loan repayment under the program from federal income tax.
– Support federal legislation, including a revised and extended Welfare Reform Act, to allow states and localities to remove restrictions on what healthcare services can be provided to illegal immigrants with federal funds, thereby expanding immigrants’ access to primary and preventive care.
– Raise the cap on federal reimbursements to rural health clinics by 25% to cover the actual cost of services.
– Eliminate the cap on add-on payments to rural hospitals under the Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital program (for serving a disproportionate number of uninsured patients) so they are not discriminated against vis-à-vis urban hospitals.

Remember this when it's time to reelect this idiot..

I call Cornyn several times a week>>>>they know my voice by now...and yes! he waffles...we have to supply the backbone...what he said earlier he'll back away from as he's learning that position is not popular at all....

I'm depending on the HOUSE to hold the line for us...

Re: the HOUSE

I put up a list of Tancredo's group of Reps that are with him "so far."

There's a direct link in case you want to start emailing & calling them now.
They're going to need all the support they can get to stand firm.
