Welcome to My Blog. I rant. I prefer to rave but I have many more opportunities to rant. Until now I have ranted to my friends via e-mail. So that I might keep some friends I'll rant here from now on. My friends can come here on a volunteer basis to read my rants. When I have to rave I'll use e-mail so that my friends won't miss out.

Rep. Virginia Foxx receives Ronald Reagan Award
The GOP has presented the 2010 Ronald Reagan Award to Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC). After watching the attached video wherein Foxx is praised for her hard work in the House I decided to find out how much legislation Foxx has proposed while in the House. Since joining the House in 2005, Foxx has proposed 31 bills of which only 5 were approved.
Approved legislation:
Allow service personnel to include combat pay in earned income to determine tax deduction
Extend Associate membership to spouse and siblings of members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart
Commend Appalachian State football team for winning NCAA I-AA football championship
Provides Federal employees with electronic receipts for direct deposits
Provides House members with electronic receipts for direct deposits
Considering the GOP praises in the attached video I expected a lot more. I wonder how President Reagan would feel about his award going to Foxx for such an insignificant contribution. Perhaps Foxx's real contribution was her 100% support of the House GOP caucus voting directives.
