“I don’t fell comfortable with congresspeople going to rallies in foreign nations under official auspicious even if it is a good cause.”

I agree. I love Beck and I love that he is doing this. But why on earth should I, as a taxpayer, pay to have congress critters go over there on a “fact finding” mission?

What facts are they going to find out?

Hey, I’d like to go to Beck’s rally in Israel, I love Israel, but nobody is going to pay for me to go.

Boehner’s right on this one, sorry!

Agree. They could just go on their own and don’t need Boehner signing off on it for permission.

I have to agree with you, from the standpoint of spending taxpayers’ money, which would be considerable, at a time when most people are hurting.
