"Official" Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) Appreciation Thread!


Look at ALL this stuff going on in just the last few days...!

Hearing Will Investigate Allegations of Misconduct at GSA

On Wednesday, March 28 at 10:00 a.m., the Oversight Committee will hold a hearing to inquire about allegations that GSA Administrator Lurita Doan failed to follow proper procedures for awarding federal contracts, attempted to intervene in contract negotiations, and engaged in partisan political activities on federal property.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administration Oversight

Chairman Waxman Requests Information on White House Contract with MZM

As part of the Committee’s ongoing investigation into waste, fraud, and abuse in federal contracting, the Committee has requested information on a $140,000 contract awarded by the Executive Office of the President to MZM, Inc. in July 2002.


Disclosure of CIA Agent Identity

Committee Requests CIA Documents Related to Disclosure of CIA Agent

Citing concerns that a Senate Intelligence Committee report may be inaccurate, Chairman Waxman asks the CIA for Agency memos related to Ambassador Wilson's February 2002 trip to Niger and the subsequent disclosure of Ms.Wilson’s covert status. Ms. Wilson recently testified before the Oversight Committee that the Senate report incorrectly claims that she was responsible for her husband’s mission, and that the CIA official who authored related memos attempted to correct the Senate’s distortions was denied the opportunity to clarify the matter.


Administration Oversight

Committee Directs RNC to Preserve White House Emails

Citing evidence that senior White House officials are using RNC and other political email accounts to avoid leaving a record of official communications, Chairman Waxman directs the Republican National Committee and the Bush-Cheney ’04 Campaign to preserve the emails of White House officials and to meet with Committee staff to explain how the accounts are managed and what steps are being taken to protect the emails from destruction and tampering.

32. Appreciate Waxman AND send his campaign some DOLLARS so he can gain
more likeminded allies in congress.

Democrats need to elect MORE anti-corruption, open government Democrats like Waxman, and we need to LET GO of the Democrats who side with secrecy and privilege and protect BushInc.

5. Good point, but I think you answered your own question.
I would guess he has made a calculated strategic decision to let his work do the talking.

6. If you think that Democrats aren't doing anything, you haven't been watching Waxman
Does the guy ever sleep?

One thing I've noticed about Waxman and some other Democrats is that they are energized because they have subpoena power. This is at the heart of the 2006 election results.

Imagine you are a Democratic member of the House as long as representatives like Waxman. You're bottled up for YEARS. Now, you own the opener.

It must be like that.

7. Great thread! I wish every member of Congress had Mr. Waxman's
ethics; this country and world would be a better place.
If the BFEE had 'em, we wouldn't be where we are.
Thanks, Hissyspit!

17. I've been following Waxman too.
Before we won the majority in November I used to go to Waxman's sight and feel a sense of bittersweetness everything he was doing. I read letter after letter that he sent to the White House and other Republican offices requesting answers to his inquiries. It was so frustrating to see him working so hard and so many of his legitimate requests were ignored. And it was infuriating to see the administration seemingly getting away with so many things despite the fact that Waxman was calling them on it. Nobody in the media ever seemed to get involved and help the cause by reporting on any of the hundreds of outrageous things that Waxman was investigating.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=1490454#1490515

Waxman is a good man, and an important man for our team. I'm so happy to see that his efforts are no longer futile. It makes me happy for him and happy for us.

25. my rep & great, but still waiting for him to drive a stake in heart: oil companies & war
When that one gets going, the question won't be whether Bush is impeached or not, but whether he will be caught trying to flee the country.

35. Wax Man the Axe Man!!! It's high time!!
He needs to keep right on cutting through all the criminal activities that he's had to stomach these past 6 years.... no.... since the "impeachment" of bill clinton. He's seen more crimes committed, up close & personal, since 1998 than the guards at San Quentin have ever even heard of.

:loveya: Henry Waxman, :yourock: :loveya:
