Rep. Westmoreland's 2007 accomplishmentsBelow is a list of every single resolution, proposed law and amendment offered by our esteemed Representative in Congress, Georgia's "do-nothing" Lynn Westmoreland: 1. Had a resolution passed honoring UPS (Westmoreland's 14th largest campaign contributor) for 100 years of service. 2. Had a law passed renaming the Columbus GA post office. This is Lynn's single legislative triumph for the entire year!! 3. Had a proposed law die in committee to use federal funds to establish a National Infantry museum at Fort Benning. (pork pork pork pork) 4. Had a proposed law die in committee that would have allowed corporate PACs to give 50% more money to Congressional candidates. Interestingly, most proposed laws garner 20-200+ "co-sponsors". Lynn couldn't get a single co-sponsor for this bill!! 5. Had 5 amendments voted down that would have gutted Army Corps of Engineers funding in Louisiana. Lynn REALLY doesn't like the Army Corps of Engineers. 6. Had 2 amendments voted down that would have removed funding for housing assistance in Hawaii. Lynn REALLY doesn't like Hawaiians. 7. Had an amendment voted down that would have prohibited the federal government from printing college financial aid forms in Spanish. Lynn REALLY doesn't like Spanish speakers. So, to summarize: Likes: Corporate PACs, UPS, Columbus post office ![]() |
