U.S. Representatives Tom McClintock (CA-04) and Jeff Denham (CA-10) released a letter to key regional federal regulators calling on them to revise plans and take actions to prevent water releases that threaten to leave New Melones reservoir dry this coming summer.

3/3/15 HR 240 - Motion to Recede and Concur in the Senate Amendment to H.R. 240: No. This motion bypassed the conference process and sent the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill to the President without ANY provision forbidding him from funding his unlawful and unconstitutional amnesty orders. I believe that short-term funding of DHS to avert a shutdown while the two houses resolve their differences over the amnesty orders was the best course to take.

Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks on the House floor regarding the President's veto of the Keystone Pipeline:

Mr. Speaker:

When we send our soldiers into harm’s way, we have a solemn obligation to back them with the full might and resources our country can muster and to give them the widest possible latitude for action. MacArthur was right, “In war, there is no substitute for victory.” The President proposes something very different: war by half measure, war on the cheap, war with no clear objective other than to pull out in three years. I will not vote for the authorization as the President proposes.

2/25/15 H.R. 1020 - STEM Education Act: NO. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education is an important field, but should not be funded by federal grant programs for which there is virtually no accountability. Individual districts should assess their own students' unique needs; tailor their programs to meet those needs and fund them accordingly.
