Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, announced today he will not seek reelection The rules committee chairman made the announcement on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. "Mr. Speaker, I have chosen to leave Congress at the end of this term," Dreier said. "I take the unusual step of announcing this from the floor of Congress for two reasons. First, this is where my fellow Californians sent me to represent them. Second, I am a proud institutionalist, and I believe that this institution is as great as it has ever been." Dreier currently represents the 26th District, which has...

WASHINGTON — Rep. David Dreier, the powerful chairman of the House Rules Committee, announced on the House floor Wednesday that he will not seek another term. He becomes the latest lawmaker to decide to retire because redistricting that complicated his re-election plans. Dreier’s retirement would end a three-decade-long career representing his Los Angeles County district that began in 1980, the year Ronald Reagan entered the White House.

House lawmakers defeated a proposal by conservative Republicans to make deeper cuts to spending and tax rates than those proposed in the Republican budget, but only after last-minute maneuvering by Democrats on the House floor.  In a chaotic scene filled with shouting more typical of that which takes place in the British Parliament, the Republican Study Committee's (RSC) alternative to Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) 2012 budget went down in a 119-136 vote.  It was gaveled shut only after Democratic leaders started pushing members to switch their "no" votes to "present," in order to force a face-off between conservatives and the...

Last night, the House of Representatives’ Rules Committee shut down Rep. Steve King’s ability to offer an amendment to completely defund Obamacare on the continuing resolution to fund the government through the end of the year. House Republicans are now hiding behind parliamentary rules to say that it would somehow violate what the new Republican Majority is all about.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is praising the House for passing legislation to end the Pentagon policy that bans gays from serving openly in the military. The legislation awaits Senate action now. The House passed the measure 250-175. Obama says the legislation permits a smooth transition from the Clinton-era 'don't-ask-don't-tell' standard. Obama says the legislation will give the military "the clarity and certainty it deserves."

Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Rules Committee, indicated yesterday that he was resigned to letting congressional Democrats make the Senate health-care bill the law of the land without ever holding a vote on it in the House of Representatives by passing a rule governing debate on another bill, the budget reconciliation, that "deems" the health care bill as passed. Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution, however, expressly states that for any bill to beome law "the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by the yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons...

Over the past week, I have repeatedly heard from Republicans troubled by the rumors that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, the National Republican Senatorial Committee's choice in the 2010 Senate primary, is gay. At age 52, Crist had never wed until he married Florida businesswoman Christine Rome two weeks before Christmas last year. Those who profess concern about "civility" would say -- or at least, should say -- that the rumors are thereby disproven. But . . . Let me share with you a message I received yesterday from someone I don't know, and who wishes to remain anonymous: I have...

“Outrage” is the talk of the Tribeca film festival. The documentary by filmmaker Kirby Dick claims that several politicians who vote “anti-gay” on political issues are actually gay themselves, and have had verifiable trysts with men. The documentary contains interviews with men who claim to have had sex with these “anti-gay” politicians. Of course, many liberal media outlets are trying to keep the identities of the politicians “outed” by Outrage a secret. Some claim that sexuality (even for politicians) is a personal issue that should not be made public without consent under any circumstances. That is sheer nonsense. In the...

California GOP Rep. David Dreier and a number of other politicians are the unwilling stars of a controversial new documentary with an explosive premise - it's time to blow open the closet door on prominent politicians who have hidden their homosexuality while actively working against gay causes. The film "Outrage," which opens today at the Embarcadero Center Cinema in San Francisco, presents interviews and documentation charging that a number of prominent legislators - including Dreier, the U.S. representative from San Dimas (Los Angeles County), Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and former New York Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat - have remained...

BOGOTA (Reuters) - A U.S. congressman said on Thursday he meant no offense when he hoisted himself onto the lectern of Colombia's lower house to address his Andean colleagues, some of whom were offended or simply amused by the faux pas. Colombian newspapers carried pictures of Rep. David Dreier, a California Republican, sitting on top of the wooden podium and talking with local legislators on Tuesday while on an official visit.

Giuliani Nabs Key Endorsement "Rudy Giuliani, fresh off a weekend visit to California, is set to nab the support of one of the Golden State’s most influential lawmakers as sources confirmed that" Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) "is expected to endorse the former New York mayor’s 2008 GOP presidential bid," according to Roll Call. "Dreier, the ranking member on the Rules Committee, is chairman of the state’s GOP delegation and his extensive ties to California’s lucrative business community make him one of his party’s leading fundraisers. He also is extremely close to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R)."

Illegal Aliens: A Few Myths to Keep in Mind . . . Mexico City. Last Tuesday the Pew Hispanic Center announced that 41 percent of Mexicans surveyed in February and 46 percent questioned in May stated they would live in the United States if given "the means and opportunity." Indeed, two out of 10 people interviewed said they were prepared to enter the U.S. illegally. These figures could have amazing consequences because our Spanish- speaking neighbor has a population of nearly 106 million inhabitants.

Bringing San Diego to the forefront of the immigration debate, House Republicans will hold field hearings on the issue Wednesday at an Imperial Beach border patrol station. Two opposing immigration bills from the House and Senate will head for negotiations after the hearings senators and representatives are holding across the country this summer. San Diego area representatives have been heavily involved in the debate, some authoring sections of the House bill. Measures proposed in the House bill, H.R. 4437, include: making illegal presence in the country a felony, building 698 miles of fencing along the border, requiring employers to use...

Rep. David Dreier announced Wednesday that he will not vote for the Senate's version of immigration legislation, breaking ranks with the White House and bolstering his image as a hard-liner on the border. Emblematic of the impending battle for a compromise, the Republican chairman of the House Rules Committee said he will fight with his colleagues to ensure the Senate bill does not take precedence over the border security bill passed by the House in mid-December. The Senate's proposal to grant a path to citizenship for an estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants would create an ill-equipped bureaucracy,...

After conservatives objected to Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (Ill.) reported plan to make House Rules Chairman David Dreier (Calif.) temporary majority leader to replace the indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (Tex.), House Republicans followed in-house rules and the traditional chain-of-command by elevating Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) to the position. At the same closed-door meeting of the Republican Conference where this decision was formalized, Chief Deputy Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) was elevated one spot to temporarily take Blunt’s job as majority whip. When Blunt, Cantor and Hastert met with reporters following the meeting, Dreier conspicuously joined them. Even though Dreier will hold...

In a tense power play, House conservatives helped derail the rise of Californian David Dreier to be their acting leader with Tom DeLay under indictment ..... But when a rump group of conservative members saw the reports, they banded together to block Drier, who one aide grumbled "is not a true conservative." Among Dreier's faults, in the eyes of this group: The Californian's pro-trade stance and his votes going against conservative "litmus-test issues." He supports stem-cell research, and he opposes a Constitutional amendment against gay marriage. UP THE BACK STAIRWAY. At a meeting in the Capitol basement, about 30 members...

This morning, Representative Tom Delay was indicted in an alleged conspiracy to funnel soft money into Texas state legislature races. While the charge may be without merit and politically motivated, the initial damage was done. Almost immediately, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert announced that David Dreier, a socially moderate amnesty supporting California Congressman, would be Delay'’s temporary successor. Since Delay and others knew of the pending indictment, it is clear that the House leadership and White House anointed the smooth-talking Drier. The House Republican Conference was supposed to accept the nomination. However, members voiced their dissent at the conference...

That is because Tom Delay has now been indicted by a Democratic District Attorney in Texas. From Fox News. Rep. Tom DeLay said he would temporarily step down as House majority leader on Wednesday after he and two political associates were charged by a Texas grand jury with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme. House sources said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill, would recommend Rep. David Dreier of California to take over DeLay’s majority leader duties. There is some talk that the Republican leadership in the House has been preparing for this eventuality. Probably not what Tom Delay was hoping for…to...

Today KFI talk show host John Ziegler had John March on his radio show. For those who don't know John, he is the father of slain LA County Deputy David March. As most of you know, Dave was killed by an illegal alien named Armando Garcia. Garcia fled to Mexico and to this day still has sanctuary down there. John March announced today that he is going to take on David Dreier in the GOP primary next June.

WASHINGTON -- A vote in the House of Representatives this week to punish Mexico for failing to extradite the suspected killers of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy David March and other law-enforcement officers divided Southland lawmakers, though not entirely along partisan lines. Sponsored by two Colorado legislators, the amendment threatens to cut off aid to any country that refuses to extradite suspects in the killings of U.S. law officers. It would affect about $66 million in aid to Mexico, which has blocked the extradition of suspects who face either death penalty or life imprisonment sentences. It passed 327 to 98....

THE Prime Minister's son, Euan Blair, has beaten around 100,000 hopefuls to secure an internship with a Republican congressman who is accused by gay rights campaigners of leading a double life. Euan is to work for David Dreier on Capitol Hill in Washington. The coveted intern posts often go to the most academically gifted, but connections are equally important. For a foreigner to be given an internship is highly unusual as the roles often go to graduates from the congressman's local district. Euan, an ancient history graduate of Bristol University, has expressed an interest in entering politics and was a...

Euan Blair, the British Prime Minister's eldest son, is to take up an internship working on Capitol Hill in Washington for a leading Republican in the House of Representatives. The 21-year-old, who is about to graduate from Bristol University with a degree in ancient history, will spend three months as an unpaid intern with the Republican majority staff on the powerful Rules Committee.

The UK Sunday Telegraph reported that Blair will be mentored by the chairman of the committee, David Dreier,...

British Prime Minister Tony Blair's son Euan is to take an internship with a leading US Republican Congressman, a newspaper said. Euan Blair is to spend three months unpaid with the Republican majority on the House of Representatives Committee on Rules, the Sunday Telegraph revealed. He will reportedly be under the wing of Californian lawmaker David Dreier, the committee's chairman and a member of the lower House of Representatives for the Republican Party of US President George W.

Euan Blair takes intern role with US Republicans By Andrew Murray-Watson and Philip Sherwell in Washington (Filed: 26/06/2005) Euan Blair, the Prime Minister's eldest son, has landed a post working on Capitol Hill for a leading conservative Republican in the House of Representatives, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

Recent Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) polling shows that seven Republican members would be easily defeated if their reelection took place today, the committee’s chairman told House Democrats yesterday at a closed-door meeting. While Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) did not name the members, who are from districts “around the country,” he said all polled at 43 percent or less when voters were asked if they would vote today to reelect their congressional representative, sources at the meeting told The Hill. Emanuel said three of the Republicans polled below 40 percent, including one, from a Western state, at 32 percent and...

Making a local push for his proposal to crack down on undocumented immigrants by targeting employers who hire undocumented workers, Rep. David Dreier said Thursday he will be "dogged" in his efforts to make it law. The Glendora Republican, who wants to boost penalties for illegal hiring and add fraud-proof safeguards to Social Security cards - which are required to get a job - said the proposal comes at an opportune time, with Social Security reform about to take center-stage in the Congress. Dreier, who introduced the Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act of 2005 this past week,...

This news is from last week, but seems not to have gotten any notice. Cynthia Matthews, Republican Congressman David Dreier's Democrat opponent in the race for California's 26th Congressional District, has been officially disowned by her own party over the illegal immigrant issue. Matthews has been outspoken opposed to illegal immigration and the corporations who hire them (she wants laws against hiring enforced), and reported on the John and Ken radio talk show that Democrat party officials and other Democrat candidates have officially disassociated the party and themselves from her campaign. The excuse being used, according to Matthews, is that...

POWERFUL Republican Congressman David Dreier — one of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's staunchest allies — appears to be lying low after the L.A. Weekly alleged that Dreier had a gay affair with his chief of staff. Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee, co-chair of Californians for Bush and chairman of Schwarzenegger's transition team, was a no-show at Wednesday's Directors Guild of America awards at the Waldorf-Astoria, where he and Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) were honored for fighting "runaway production." (The lawmakers have proposed tax breaks for TV and movie projects to stop them from going to Canada.) Dreier and...

First Print Story on the Outing of Congressman David Dreier on the Internet LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- San Gabriel Valley Congressman David Dreier is the latest GOP member to be outed as a homosexual Republican by Mike Rogers, former development director for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and his blogactive.com Web site. Doug Ireland, longtime radical political journalist, media critic and self-described purveyor of "investigative opinion," defends the outing and assesses Dreier's political future in this first discussion of the outing in the print media. Already Ireland's story has caused a stir. Several radio stations have...

The Republican chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee has introduced sweeping new legislation that would enhance border security and implement new technology to make it more difficult to obtain and use fraudulent Social Security cards. Drafted at the suggestion of a veteran Border Patrol agent, Rep. David Dreier of California said the Illegal Immigrant Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act of 2004 would increase the number of Border Patrol agents and add tough enforcement penalties to existing federal law that already bars U.S. businesses from hiring illegal aliens. [snip]The proposed bill has the support of Rep. Silvestre Reyes, Texas...

GLENDORA -- Two radio talk show hosts held a "Fire Dreier' rally Thursday, criticizing a local Republican Congressman for doing nothing to keep illegal immigrants from coming into the United States. KFI AM-640 listeners came to the rally next to the office of Rep. David Dreier on Route 66 armed with protest signs and bullhorns. Many honked their horns in support of the rally, which lasted from 3 to 7 p.m. Police said several hundred people came and went during the rally. In the first of several events aimed at boosting support for the cause, the radio station decorated a...
