He did but the congress didn't move on it.

The fallacy has been that the republican congress was the puppet of Bush but look carefully my friend at what actually was being done in congress for those 7 years he was in office. There are a lot of things that should have been passed that he asked for that never got out of committee, like Social Security 'reform'.

I present one comment to people who say Bush is all for big oil;

If he was truly for big oil than the congress would have revoked the laws pertaining to the environment, we would have had a lift of all restrictions for drilling everywhere and we would have had a serious change in the tax system in this country - all to favor big oil if this it was true.

Politics is a game of engagement

In order for you to change something you don’t like, to change something for the betterment of your country or to change just for the need of change, you must be involved, engaged and vocal.


So don’t blame me if Congress passes laws that affect you, your family or your rights

Be Engaged!
