John Boozman, Arkansas 4^th District Congressman, continues to propel the illusion that he is a “conservative”…whatever that means. 

Briefly and chronologically, some older information concerning his “I feel strongly both ways” posturing.

Dateline: Times Record, Ft. Smith, AR.  6/11/06…Headline:”Boozman takes hard-line stance on illegal immigration”

Boozman states “the best way to manage immigration is to fortify the country’s borders, while blocking undocumented workers from becoming citizens”.  He also stated “he takes a hard-line approach, focusing strictly on border security and removal of illegals.”  (John, where are you?) Will answer shortly.

Dateline: Times Record, Ft. Smith, Ar 10/17/07…Headline: “Bush, Boozman diners ponied up”

Congressman Boozman’s home is in NW Arkansas, the home of Wal-Mart, Tyson’s, Arvest (Wal-Mart) Banks, Simmons Foods, among many others.   At this fundraising festival, some in attendance are the largest employers of illegals, i.e. Tyson’s, Simmons, etc.   Congressman Boozman, calling this NW Ark. quadrant his home, which could be called the national citadel of illegal aliens, how can a guy who allegedly is against illegal immigration socialize with and accept political contributions from the likes of Mercy Health System (Catholics have run sanctuary programs for 40 yrs), Wal-Mart, Arvest, Tyson’s, et al?  All the antithesis of Boozman’s stated position on the illegal alien invasion.  Heavily seeded in Boozman’s fundraising extravaganza were numbers of executives from Wal-Mart, Tyson’s, and Arvest Bank.

Congressman Boozman, please square your dual positions with your constituents.

I asked the question previously, John where are you?  Willie Nelson’s song “On the road again” answers the question.  Has anyone taken more taxpayer funded trips in the last 2 ½ yrs than he? I contacted Boozman’s office in 2006 asking how many overseas junkets Boozman had made to near east, far east, Europe….and was given the standard government answer  by Patrick Creamer “they don’t keep those kind of records”.  From fragmentary newspaper clips, he was in DC only 39 days in 2006.  He travelled to Belgium, France, England, China, Denmark, Africa, has been in Iraq 6 times since 2004, Jordan, Turkey, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Israel several times, etc.  With his affinity for travel abroad, how can he possibly represent his constituents in any meaningful manner?

Now scrolling forward to the unconstitutional SCHIPs program and some of his remarks appearing in the Ark. Democrat guest editorial section 11/05/07.

The SCHIPs program and Arkids 1^st were born about the same time, 1997.  As a program, allegedly, to pay for Arkansas children’s health insurance for gainfully employed Arkansans not making enough to purchase private health insurance. The real thrust was for illegal alien children, up to 21 yrs of age. Recently the Democrats tried to expand SCHIPs program by $35 billion, which the Congress makes no bones about that it is essentially for illegal alien children and ADULTS.

Citizens, as well as illegals, can earn up to $62,500 per yr and qualify for this insanity.  The original Bill was vetoed by Bush and is coming up and will be voted into law shortly.   Not one elected self-serving politician, except for Ron Paul, will state that this is an unconstitutional act and a direct attack on particularly Middleclass Americans, taking their earnings by force for redistribution to illegal, criminal aliens, both children and adults.

Boozman has the audacity to say there is no “government taking over the healthcare system”.  He further goes on to say “whether we expand the program beyond poor children so much that we need even more taxes on top of the faulty tax scheme put forward in the first and second plan”.  This last sentence proves beyond a doubt that this is another piece in place in the quest for national/socialized healthcare.

Ladies & Gentlemen, as long as you continue to worship at the altars of the Democrat/Republican parties, both irreversibly criminally corrupt, you are assuring the immediate demise of our Republic, put another way, you have just joined the quest for a police state guaranteeing leg irons, the pawns are in place.
