Throughout what was supposed to be a “recovery summer,” the President has repeated a familiar theme: that Republicans ran us into a ditch and now they want the keys back.
That’s an important point, and we need to understand exactly what the Bush administration did to run us into a ditch. In fact, President Bush made two major policy blunders.
Congressman Tom McClintock today announced that five communities in the 4th Congressional District succeeded in qualifying for Drug Free Communities (DFC) grants.

Congressman Tom McClintock made the following statement to the Regional U.S. Forest Service Management Roundtable hosted by Congressman Wally Herger in Sacramento on Wednesday, August 25th:
I want to thank my friend and colleague, Congressman Herger, for organizing this meeting and for his invitation to participate in it.
There are four general subjects that my constituents have brought to my attention that I feel are important to raise in this forum.

Statement by Representative Tom McClintock on the Proposition 8 Ruling: Judge Walker’s opinion that traditional marriage is an affront to the Bill of Rights would no doubt have come as a surprise to the American Founders – and to more than two centuries of American jurisprudence affirming that institution. Fortunately, the architects of our Constitution recognized the damage that feeble reasoning can do from the bench and provided a multitude of checks and balances – starting with the appellate process – which I am confident will now be brought into play.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Tom McClintock (CA-04) made the following remarks during a debate in the House of Representatives today about H.R. 3534 (Clear Act). In his remarks the Congressman discussed the response to the oil spill in the Gulf:
“Before we add more bureaucracies to the equation, shouldn’t we ask how the existing ones did?
