As I said on an earlier post I finally received my package yesterday. Thanks.
Oh pissant! You don’t tip your hand on something like this. There is no way Rep. Hunter should answer such a question. But you can be sure that he would do the right thing at the right time, and surround himself with the right men who know what they are doing.
PING
I think that is at least a year old, Walter. I posted it months ago, so I know its not new.
Thanks for theping, US007.
Sam, what is Duncan Hunter’s position on H1B visas and abuse of the system?
Here’s what I posted on the other thread...

I’ve been following the H1B visa thing for a while. The system has a tendency to breed fraud. Duncan Hunter could easily win both sides of this issue by opening an investigation into the fraud. Once employers know that there would be a consequent decrease in the numbers of supposedly qualified applicants, all of a sudden, then the open slots wouldn’t need to be filled by lottery. The quality of the immigrants goes up, and everyone wins.
The fair trade thing has been with us for a long time and will probably show itself in many forms, from Smoot-Hawley to H1B Visas. Here’s an oldie but goodie thread on Visa abuse.

How would your Dad deal with a Democrat Congress? Will he be forceful in defending himself and his policy?
Also would he be a leader in reinforcing the Conservative ideology ?
Many Thanks for your reply! As a FT supporter you can count on my support for Mr. Hunter!
“Here you have a guy who was on his way to kill 5,000 Americans, and we have people complaining because he had a dog bark at him in Guantanamo.”

That is a great quote!
Thanks for the flag.
I’ve had no problem getting a response from the website. They sent bumper stickers, cool fliers, lots of info. There was one day at first when it wasn’t taking the information though.
And, BTW, Hunter is out there everyday on radio, TV, South Carolina, etc. and still doing his job in congress unlike many.
I recall reading something about Hunter and the Scouts. Here's some I found.
Hunter was one of 36 reps to co sponsor this bill:
Rep Hunter, Duncan [CA-52] - 1/20/2005 H.CON.RES.6
Title: Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Department of Defense should continue to exercise its statutory authority to support the activities of the Boy Scouts of America, in particular the periodic national and world Boy Scout Jamborees.

Also , Hunter is listed here by the boy scouts.
The Congress and Scouting For the past 18 congressional sessions, the Boy Scouts of America has surveyed the members of the House and Senate regarding their participation in Scouting. The Marketing & Communications Division compiled the following information concerning the 109th Congress.

I signed up Feb 13 and 62 days later received my packet in the mail. Not exactly the epitome of efficiency.
Sam, could you talk to your dad and ask him what he thinks about the China pet food situation, and what we should do about it?
Here’s a link to a story about China refusing to allow the FDA to inspect the incoming food stuff.

Hello Sam,
What will your father do to gain more publicity for the campaign similiar to the way that Dean was able to gain a lot of attention before the primaries in 2004 despite that he was from a small state, Vermont?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
I would like to see Cong. Hunter address this problem. They will push this nonsense through unless some one does.
Bill introduced to expand wilderness areas
Casper Star Tribune ^ | April 21, 2007 | NOELLE STRAUB

WASHINGTON - Two East Coast lawmakers introduced a bill Friday with 73 co-sponsors that would designate as wilderness 23 million public acres in five Northern Rocky Mountain states, including Montana and Wyoming.
Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Christopher Shays, R-Conn., wrote the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act. It would give the government’s strongest protections to areas of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. They announced the measure along with songstress Carole King.
Three co-sponsors are from Washington and three from Oregon. Both Montana and Wyoming’s representatives condemned the bill and vowed to fight it.
Similar measures have been introduced in several previous Congresses. But this time, the chairmen of the House Natural Resources Committee and the relevant subcommittee have both signed on as sponsors of the bill.
A panel spokeswoman said the committee is reviewing the legislation now and may hold hearings on it, although there are no immediate plans for one.
The bill would designate as wilderness all 20 million acres of inventoried roadless lands in the states and another 3 million acres in Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. It includes 7 million acres in Montana and 5 million in Wyoming.
A wilderness designation generally prohibits timber harvesting and permanent roads, structures and facilities. Hunting, fishing and other recreational activities generally are allowed.
Maloney and Shays said the bill would protect some of the country’s most beautiful and ecologically important lands. They said it would save taxpayers $245 million over 10 years by managing the land as wilderness and eliminating “subsidized development” there. They said more than 2,300 jobs would be created through the bill’s program to rip out old logging roads and restore the areas to their natural state.
“(The act) has always been ahead of its time by drawing wilderness boundaries according to science, not politics,” Maloney said in a statement. “(The act) would also help mitigate the effects of global warming by protecting the corridors through which vulnerable wildlife can migrate to cooler areas.”
Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., said all legislation on public lands must take into consideration the opinions of local communities and people who depend on the resources for both work and recreation.
“I oppose this legislation because it’s a top-down approach that doesn’t properly take into account the impacts on the local economy nor does it adequately protect access for hunting, fishing and other forms of recreation,” Rehberg said in a statement. “I’ll continue to work to implement responsible policies to protect Montana’s natural resources.”
Rep. Barbara Cubin, R-Wyo., called the bill a “147-page assault on our Western way of life” and said local input and control would be slipping away.
“This is an absolutely offensive attempt by East Coast liberals to create sweeping, over-reaching laws for Western public lands without any public input from the folks living in Wyoming who would be heavily impacted by this legislation,” Cubin said in a statement. “I have always supported a carefully balanced multiple-use policy when it comes to public lands, and this bill would essentially do away with that type of sensible evaluation.”

Is your Dad looking forward to Thursday? It’ll be good to see him - will be attending a local dinner/debate fundraiser for him.
He’s got a tough row to hoe, but, from everything I hear, he’s up for it.
Good Luck to you and your family.
Sam,
My wife and I are mad—revolution mad—at President Bush and the Congress over this shamnesty. What can we do to make a positive difference for your father in this campaign?
I went to your website and it talked about “e-leaders”. What do they do? What do you need most from volunteers? We’re in Raleigh, NC.
There are many of us out here that would do anything to help Mr Hunter get elected.
Just let us know.
This country is in serious trouble as you well know. We cannot continue the business as usual in DC any longer.
