Good Chaffetz (via HollyOnTheHill)Rep. Chaffetz’ bill will create a “postal holiday” on the “Census Day” to allow the collection of Census information rather than the delivery of mail.
Chaffetz better be careful though – his out-of-the-box thinking and common sense approach is earning him a reputation. Pretty soon, his name will become a verb and people will talk about “Chaffetzizing” or simply “Chaffetzing” when they mean a politician who actually stands on principle and brings forward workable solutions.
MSM Chaffetz (via the Tribune)
Chaffetz says he's introducing the bill to avoid having the Census hire groups like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which has been under investigation in several states for voter fraud during the 2008 election.
Well, this make perfect sense if you don't know anything about the census, the Postal Service, nor the ACORN controversy.

Ha. :-) At least Bob agrees I've coined a word - Chaffetize.
Perhaps the Herald can get the comments fixed online. You post some comments, like they totally missed it, and you can't read them later.
Like:
Let's see. Rep. Chaffetz passed an amendment to draw the line for TSA re: The 4th amendment and whole body screening. That passed with 300 votes.
I am showing 9 Bills Rep. Chaffetz has submitted as a sponsor.
Initially whole-body imaging restrictions was a bill.
Chaffetz sponsored bills (not including co-sponsored): H.R.2027, H.R.2193, H.R.2265, H.R.2353, H.R.2914, H.R.2915, H.R.2916, H.AMDT.172 to H.R.2200.
That doesn't include converting H.R.2353 to a proposed amendment to require utilities to show what the cap/trade costs are.

or how about this one:
Congress spends our money. Do they do it by voting on a specific issue and deciding if it needs federal dollars, or to the take money that has been budgeted to a department away from that department and give it to their friends.
It is time earmarks were no longer the return on investment for big money, incumbents re-election campaigns, or lobbyists.
A city shouldn't have to pay some lobbyist to donate to a campaign fund of someone back in DC to get the help they need from the federal government.
I like the way Jason is doing things. Keep it up.
or finally this one:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz has and is doing exactly what he said:
“Therefore, I, Jason Chaffetz, in my capacity as Congressman, do hereby pledge that I will personally support spending reform in Congress by refusing to seek, support, or enact earmarks during the appropriations process for fiscal year 2009.”
“Earmark reform is a critical component to reforming Washington and fixing the mismanaged appropriations process. If I am fortunate enough to win, I will join other fiscal conservatives in the fight to fix this broken system,” said Jason Chaffetz.
from his 2008 campaign website.
He did the 2009 and he is trying to fix the current system.
By all means, feel free to post comments here.
