Bill Posey

If you’re like me you talk to a few different Congressmen in DC or their staff on a regular basis.  Different issues require different key members of the congressman’s staff.  I have noticed that usually after the freshman year of a congressman that he generally changes.  DC is a tough town and I believe it could beat anyone up.

However that’s not the case for Bill Posey (R- Rockledge) Congressman Posey has not sold out his principles or ideals.  He is still an honest man in DC.  Posey has been instrumental in several pieces of legislation that were driven by the grassroots.  When people had issues with Barack Obama and the question of his birth certificate, Posey introduced a bill.  He has gotten a lot of flack for this and been nicknamed a “Birther” because of it.  However I believe he is simply trying to fix this issue for future elections.

When the Tea Party phenomenon caught on and grassroots were calling on Congressional members to accept the same health care coverage Posey Co-Sponsored it.  To close the space gap and help America not fall behind in space exploration Posey suggested extending the Shuttle Missions.  Posey is also very fiscally minded when it comes to our ever expanding National Debt.  He introduced a measure that would allow a Taxpayer to allocate $10 of their income tax return to help pay off the National Debt.  Bill Posey has also introduced HR 689 which requires bills be available 72 hours for the public before voting on them.

Posey is a welcomed face in DC.  We need more congressmen with the grit and tenacity like him.
