I just received this a few minutes ago. Is S.1461 a Senate revision of the Houses' HR 1639?

Hey, CRA guys, can you clarify this please?

He's not a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions...so that absolves him of having an opinion he can share with the rest of us?.... :rolleyes:


Dear Mr. Roberti:

Thank you for contacting me to express your support for S. 1461, the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act of 2011. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this vital issue.

As you know, the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act would exempt traditional large and premium cigars from regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and from user fees assessed on tobacco produces by the FDA. Currently, this bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of which I am not a member.

Throughout my career in the Senate, I have always been a strong advocate of job protection and small business growth. You will be pleased to know that I was a strong supporter of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which was signed into law on September 27, 2010. This legislation will help create an estimated 500,000 jobs by providing small businesses with access to capital,tax incentives for investment, and support for innovation and entrepreneurship. It will guarantee an estimated $300 billion in lending and $12 billion in tax cuts for small business that have been hard hit by the economic recession and lost more than six million jobs since December of 2007.

It is important to recognize that small businesses are the engines of job growth. From working to increase loan guarantees to eliminating onerous regulations to providing tax relief, I believe that what's good for small businesses is good for New Jersey. Please be assured that I will keep your thoughts in mind while I continue to fight for small businesses in New Jersey and all over the nation.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov) to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate.

He's not getting my vote, as well as the other superstar Lautenberg!

PS, Did you say something about cigars?

This is what I got out of it!
 
A response from a politician that doesn't answer any questions and ends with self-promotion??? The hell you say.
 
Lautenberg is due up first in 2013 then Melendez in 2015. Will be my great pleasure to vot against both of these two losers! I know we don't discuss politics here, but all incumbents should be fired!

I'll do you one better and say that all politicians should be shot. I'm just sayin'.

You can go to jail for that, firing them is easier :laugh:
 
When will the revolution begin?

Can we stop listening to the media and start voting in people who are just good citizens looking to be servents to the masses?

I've said something similar to my friends, and without devolving into a political rant, I will say that sooner or later this country is ripe for another revolution. When did we forget that these politicians are OUR servants? If they aren't working for the good of the people (instead of their party and their bank account), then what seperates them from being an aristocracy? I thought royalty was not how we did things here in the U.S. Damn shame that all these con artists draw more money than the actual people that educate the children and keep us healthy.

34 years old and I'm already a crotchedy old fool. :D
 
My solution to a lot of our issues - one term - 6 years - Elected officials would then do what is right, not what would get them re-elected.

Pay them a decent salary and benefits while in office - none of this lifetime benefits crap.

Oh well, I can dream.
 
To take the political speak out of your letter. He just told you he has no intention of ever voting for this at all, but you can't call me anti-small business because I voted for somethig else that has small business in the title.

He just told you he has no intention of ever voting for this at all (so you can't blame me if it passes), but you can't call me anti-small business because I voted for something else that has small business in the title....(even though I have no idea what it is)

BINGO....
