Obamacare was deemed a tax by the Supreme Court but in fact it triggers multiple new taxes not only related to medicine. What impacts do you see hitting the American people and what do you suggest be done to repeal Obamacare?

As "THE REAL TRUTHS" of Obama's Healthcare Law becomes more available to the Public's Attention. More TAXES, More TAX Existing FUNDS involved, Increased Premiums, etc.
"I think it would be a "PLUS" for America's Public to "ACTUALLY SEE" the NAMES OF THOSE WHO VOTED YES, "TO THE CORPORATE BILL KNOWN AS Obamacare" !
America's PEOPLE should be aware and know who VOTED against the People of America's WISHES.
This Law is serving the Corporate Communities, "NOT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA".

No. Because Americans recognize that the Republican party has no agenda but that of obstructing and subverting any policy initiatives enacted by the Obama administration that benefit the middle class.

We believe that we get cheaper products made outside the U.S. However, we have begun to recognize that little by little we do not have any manufacturing jobs left in this country. As a U.S representative, what do you think and what can you do to save jobs for Americans?

Actually we do have at least one small manufacturer; I run Index Products in Santa Fe Springs, CA and like a lone ranger. We really need to bring back manufacturing. It is not too late.

According to Steve Forbes returning to a gold standard would impose structural changes to the monetary system which would force the sort of reforms which are the only hope of staving off a major economic collapse. Agree or disagree?

Please protect the hard working American family from the unwarranted excessively high price of gasoline. In July 2008 the price of a barrel of crude oil was $147 and the national average price of gasoline was $4.12 per gallon.

Today, February 19th 2013, the price of a barrel of WTI crude closed below $97 far below the 2008 high of $147; the ratio 97/147 is approximately 66%, so 66% of $4.12 the 2008 price of gasoline; today the price should be $2.72 per gallon at the pump.

Why isn't a gallon at the pump close to $2.72/gallon?

Ah the good old days of realistic gas prices! I could put one of my kids through college for the amount of money I have wasted in the past few years and never enough extra to buy a hybrid... (not that I really want one).

With oil at $90/barrel, which is 68% of its all time high price of $147/barrel from July 2008; why isn't gasoline $2.52 per gallon at the pump, this would be 68% $4.12 on national average from July 2008?

Solution: Breakup the Oil Refining and Distribution network in California PLUS prosecute the price gouging participants in that system.

Congressman-- We all know what a mess America is in at the moment. Yet we are constantly told that there is no consensus, that we are in political 'gridlock,' and nobody has the mandate to make the changes we so desperately need. If somehow we woke up tomorrow and a majority of the Christian community was united in their commitment to support a return to our Constitutional values, what benefits would such engagement create, and how would this change the political landscape?

Do you believe health care costs begin with providers charging more than reasonable fees? Providers is all inclusive btw. For the tens of millions that have no health care costs are incurred via welfare programs for them including Medicare and those program costs are funded with existing taxes aren't they?

Do you believe replacing one series of taxation with a different tax changes will increase all taxes imposed or collected?

FACT: in 1997 the net worth of billionaire in the US was $313,000,000,000 according to Forbes 1997 List of Billionaires; 10 years later in 2007 the net worth of billionaires swelled to $1,500,000,000,000. The wealth of billionaires in the US in that 10 year span, 1997-2007 increased by $1,162,000,000,000 more than the $25,000,000,000 we spent saving General Motors.

Sad but true.

Save us from our inefficient, too costly government.

Let the people know the cost of each program and let us vote agency by agency whether to keep or close each agency. If voted out by 50%+1 or more the agency terminates; the tax payer receives the savings as a tax break if earning $250,000 or less per year.

This will right size government based on the will of the people.

Pensions should be cut to the average citizens post-retirement income level. No exceptions. That would be fair to those paying the cost of these over generous pensions.

I support the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act you introduced recently. On your website it states that the legislation could create as many as 140,000 jobs here in California. Where does the bill stand and how can I as a citizen help to promote it and be one of the 140K who gets a better job?
