Lets Return Mr. (Lamar) Smith to Washington!

Liberal San Antonio Express News labels Congressman A powerful Lamar Smith" By Sonja Harris Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas  Its not every day that a liberal paper like the San Antonio Express News calls a Republican powerful" but it did so recently! If you have ever met with Congressman Lamar Smith you know he is a mild-mannered polite and hard-working man. This is precisely why he is such a valuable asset for Congressional District 21 and why he has earned the respect of his colleagues and constituents.    Presently he proudly serves as Chairman of the Science Space & Technology Committee which has jurisdiction over programs of NASA the Department of Energy the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the National Science Foundation the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National institute of Standards & Technology. Congressman Smith is the former Judiciary Committee Chairman. He continues to serve on the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees. In fact a former Smith campaign manager June Deason described him as a man that doesnt shoot his mouth off and make asinine statements." Congressman Smith has been under attack from liberals because of his stance on climate change. Gilbert Garcia SA Express News columnist described Smith as having a chilling effect on scientific research." Garcias corny comment tells us he has forgotten Al Gores Inconvenient Truth. Its been 10 years since Gore promoted his truth at The Sundance Film Festival and the only truth is Gore got rich. What about the truth scandals of fudging data by real scientists? Maybe it is time we address the reality of transparency in scientific research of global warming. Smith introduced Secret Science Reform Act a bill that would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from proposing finalizing or disseminating regulations or assessments based upon science that is not transparent or reproducible and that is what scared the Liberals into running in all directions. Congressman Smith asked for truth. Garcia should drop his head in shame for asking of all people Eddie Bernice Johnson Democrat from Dallas about Smiths stance on climate change since she has no moral compass much less any knowledge of truth. In 2010 she admittedly violated the rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation by awarding college scholarship funds in the thousands to her family members. Congressman Smith continues to be a source of strength to his CD 21. He voted against the Omnibus Bill when so many Texas congressmen betrayed their constituents and voted to fund Planned Parenthood and grow our debt. Yes the oil embargo was lifted but at what price and besides how long do you think the Arab countries will let America export oil to their detriment. Congressman Smith is being stalked by a control hungry challenger lurking in the shadows desperately wanting to replace him. The opponents financial report tells the story of meager contributions; lacking grassroots support and struggling to muster volunteers to help him by paying for block walkers and simple grassroots tasks. More importantly the opponents bullying tactics are well known and his ability to comprehend basic knowledge of the issues should be troubling to all voters in CD 21.

In fact we are going to be having more oversight hearings ... because once the American people find out how this Administration is operating  what theyre trying to hide what are they trying to keep secret what is it they wont reveal to the American people then as a political operation they might respond Cong. Lamar Smith tells Insiders Jim Cardle.

Right now Congressman Smith is working hard for his constituents doing what he was elected to do voting Prolife defunding Planned Parenthood stopping Sanctuary Cities preventing the refugee invasion and many more critical issues that affect our lives and livelihoods. He is definitely an asset to his district. CD 21 not only needs Lamar Smith to continue his vital commitment but deserves to have a dependable representative constituents can respect.
