California: Pete Stark

Everybody knows that Democrat Pete Stark is a flake and a nut.  Now we know why he is a Democrat--he is a tax cheat.

He is registered to vote in California, he represents California in Congress--but for years has told officials in Maryland that Maryland is his PRIMARY residence.  For that he got a tax break on his homeowners taxes--illegally.

Why isn't he being indicted for theft?  why isn't he being forced to pay his back taxes?  Why isn't;t he being investigated by the House Ethics Committee.

Easy answers--he is an Obama Democrat, rules and laws means nothing to them.  Corruption is a way of life,  Barack is just another Chicago politician--taught by Wright, Ayers, Davis, Rezko and friends.

We should not expect anything better.

U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and Pete Stark (D-Fremont) said they weren't buying what President Bush or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was selling Monday on the proposed $700 billion Wall Street bailout plan and were among four members of the Bay Area's Congressional Delegation to vote against the controversial measure.

Joining them in rebellion were U.S. Reps. Lynn Woolsey (D-San Rafael) and Congressman Mike Thompson (D-Napa.)

The so-called Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 lost in the House by just 28 votes, 205 to 228.

Pete Stark, dean of the California Congressional Delegation, reached out to the nation's population of immigrant foster children this week, hopefully giving them a better chance to improve their lives by being allowed to legally stay in the U.S.

Stark (D-Fremont) and Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles) introduced House Resolution 6649, the "Foster Children Opportunity Act."

Bay Area Congressmen George Miller and Pete Stark are currently pushing legislation that proposes to join together seven local wildlife refuges.

The bill, HR 6479, would create the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex and would unite the Bay Area's seven separate national wildlife refuges into a single complex to leverage greater federal funding for these unique habitats. The refuges that would be brought together range from San Francisco to the Monterey Bay.
