Wolf represents, leads constituents

Judy Feder is running again. In the 1990s, she supported the national health care program that failed in Congress because of the costs to build government operations to replace private sector operations.

Now, Judy supports Sen. Obama’s program with new mega billion dollar health care maintenance programs and coverage for 45 million uninsured. They offer guesstimates of tax revenues needed for
government operations.

Judy’s campaign for Congress reflects her limited understanding of Congressman Wolf’s role in identifying and resolving local, national and international security, economic stability and prosperity
problems.

Congressman Wolf represents individual and community interest and leads legislative efforts on their behalf. He serves on the House Appropriations Committee and the Transportation Subcommittee,
critically important to the Virginia 10th District.

September 30, the House Emergency Economic Stabilization Act was brought to a vote. Congressman Wolf understood that a freeze of the country’s critical financial credit markets would substantially
impact his constituents. He voted for this legislation to begin restoring confidence and stability in our country’s credit markets and economy. 

Wolf understands that the American people want Congress to pass a comprehensive “all of the above” energy package to gets us on the road to energy independence. Congressman Wolf has long
supported environmentally friendly oil and gas exploration, drilling off our coasts and in Alaska and he supports wind, solar, nuclear and clean coal energy options.

Congressman Wolf noted that the September 2008 Democrat energy bill did not respond to America’s needs. The Democrat “no energy” bill permanently locks up 80 percent of American energy on the
continental shelf, oil on Alaska’s North Slope and doesn’t provide for refineries to be built on American soil. Although it provides for a little bit of offshore drilling, Virginia and other coastal states are
blocked from sharing in the tax revenue as federal law allows for other states. 

Congressman Wolf cosponsors the American Energy Act, providing comprehensive renewable energy strategy, improving energy conservation and promotes new energy technologies to reduce America’s
increasingly dangerous dependence on foreign oil. But Democrat leadership blocks floor action.
