<p><font color="#ff0000">Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., who sits on the House Science Committee,

has a special relationship with scientists—they’re her constituents. </font>Her

district includes the Energy Department’s Argonne National Laboratory,

which researches high-energy physics and is developing technology that

could enable electric cars to travel twice their current distance before

recharging. Biggert worries that candidates like Perry will get the

party branded as antiscience. “We seem to be moving ahead in a vein

that’s not the scientific way,” she said of Republicans. “And that’s a

shame, because there are a lot of us that really believe in the sciences

and look to scientists. It’s a concern.”</p><p><b>===

OBEY (D, WI-7): The cash for clunkers program has proven even more wildly popular than its strongest supporters had predicted. Just last month, Congress passed the program, which provided up to $4,500 if you trade in your old gas guzzler for a new car that gets better mileage. That was done in the hopes of spurring some new car sales and encouraging people to be a little more environmentally friendly. We provided $1 billion in the supplemental to get it going, enough for about 250,000 sales--which was just about exhausted in one week. This bill transfers $2 billion from the Department of Energy's Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee program, which doesn't expect to award funding until late next year.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><b><i>Opponent's argument to vote No:</i></b>Rep.

Not one hearing on the Cash for Clunkers program, not one hearing on how the first billion dollars has been spent, not one hearing on how much money the program will need to get through the fiscal year.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">Many of my colleagues will say, This is a great program, and it is necessary for the revitalization of the car industry. I'm not really going to argue with those goals. However, are we sure this program is working like it's supposed to? I don't think so. This program has only been up and running 1 week. If that is how the government is going to handle billion-dollar programs affecting all Americans, I ask, Whatever will we do if the administration takes control of our health care system?</p><center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><font face="Arial" size="1">Reference: Cash for Clunkers bill; Bill <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h.r.03435:" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">H.R. 3435</a> ; vote number <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/HouseVote/Party_2009-H682.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">2009-H682</a> on Jul 31, 2009</font></center><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3 style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><center><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Voted YES on protecting free-roaming horses and burros.</a></center></h3><p><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><i>Congressional Summary:</i></b></a></p><ol style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><li><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Ensure that acreage available for wild and free-roaming horses and burros is at least equal to the acreage where they were found in 1971</a></li><li><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">update the inventory of such horses and burros annually</a></li><li><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">maintain a thriving natural ecological balance on lands where such horses and burros are found</a></li><li><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">establish sanctuaries for such horses and burros</a></li><li><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">research and implement enhanced fertility control for mares & stallions.</a></li></ol><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Proponent's argument to vote Yes:</i></b>Rep. NICK RAHALL (D, WV-3): Earlier this year, the BLM made a truly shocking announcement. This Federal agency announced future plans to destroy, i.e., slaughter, 30,000 healthy wild horses and burros entrusted to their care by the American people. How in the world can a Federal agency be considering massive slaughter of animals the law says they are supposed to be protecting? The bill before us gives the agency as many options as possible to avoid destroying these animals.</a></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Opponent's argument to vote No:</i></b>Rep. DOC HASTINGS (R, WA-4): Across our Nation, Americans are struggling to pay their bills; 9.5% of Americans are out of work. With this backdrop, what is the response of this Democrat Congress to record unemployment and skyrocketing deficits? Their response is to create a $700 million welfare program for wild horses and burros. If the American people want an illustration of just how out of touch this Congress has become on spending, they need to look no further. In the last Congress, the House passed legislation to ban the commercial slaughter of wild horses and burros, that cost taxpayers less than $500,000 a year. Now we're looking at a bill that, again, bans slaughter of these animals but then proceeds to spend $700 million to create a new welfare program for wild horses. Republicans are focused on creating the jobs in this country, but this Democrat Congress seems to be more worried about wild burros and wild horses.</a></p><center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><a name="2009-H577" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><font face="Arial" size="1">Reference: Restore Our American Mustangs Act; Bill </font></a><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h.r.01018:" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">H.R.1018</a> ; vote number <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/HouseVote/Party_2009-H577.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">2009-H577</a> on Jul 17, 2009</font></center><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3 style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><center><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Voted YES on $9.7B for Amtrak improvements and operation thru 2013.</a></center></h3><p><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><i>Congressional Summary:</i></b></a></p><ul style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><li style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Authorizes appropriations for FY2009-FY2013 for Amtrak capital and operating grants; Amtrak repayment of long-term debt and capital leases; and the rail cooperative research program.</a></li><li style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Authorizes grants for the Next Generation Corridor Train Equipment Pool Committee.</a><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Proponents argument for voting YEA:</i></b> Rep. OBERSTAR: America is on the threshold of a "renaissance'' for intercity passenger rail that approaches the enthusiasm of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Last year, Amtrak set a ridership record for the fifth year in a row, exceeding 25.8 million passengers. Its ticket revenues rose 11 percent to more than $1.5 billion, the third straight year of revenue growth. This record of achievement is even more impressive considering that for the past eight years Amtrak has contended with an Administration committed to its bankruptcy. Indeed, these achievements are occurring when there is a greater need than ever for alternatives to our congested highways and skies. To alleviate this congestion and strengthen our energy security, we need to invest in intercity passenger rail.</a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">Other countries already make an annual commitment to intercity passenger rail. In 2003 alone, France invested $10.6 billion in its rail system; Germany invested $12.4 billion; and the United Kingdom invested $7.8 billion. China plans to spend a total of $162 billion from 2006 through 2010 to expand its railway system. This bill authorizes $14 billion over 5 years:</p><ul><li>$6.7 billion for capital grants</li><li>$3.0 billion for operating grants</li><li>$2.5 billion for 80% matching grants to States to pay for the capital costs of facilities</li><li>$1.75 billion to finance 11 authorized high-speed rail corridors</li></ul><center><a name="2008-400" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><font face="Arial" size="1">Reference: Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act; Bill </font></a><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:h.r.06003:" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">HR6003</a> ; vote number <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/HouseVote/Party_2008-400.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">2008-400</a> on Jun 11, 2008</font></center><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2006-263" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3><center><a name="2006-263" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Voted NO on increasing AMTRAK funding by adding $214M to $900M.</a></center></h3><a name="2006-263" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Voting YES on this amendment would restore $214 million in funding for AMTRAK, bringing the total annual expenditure for AMTRAK to $1.114 billion.

We run tough and effective campaigns to defeat anti-environment candidates, and support those leaders who stand up for a clean, healthy future for America. Through our National Environmental Scorecard and Presidential Report Card we hold Congress and the Administration accountable for their actions on the environment. Through regional offices, we build coalitions, promote grassroots power, and train the next generation of environmental leaders. The 2003 National Environmental Scorecard provides objective, factual information about the environmental voting records of all Members of the first session of the 108th Congress. This Scorecard represents the consensus of experts from 20 respected environmental and conservation organizations who selected the key votes on which Members of Congress should be graded. LCV scores votes on the most important issues of the year, including environmental health and safety protections, resource conservation, and spending for environmental programs. Scores are calculated by dividing the number of pro-environment votes by the total number of votes scored. The votes included in this Scorecard presented Members of Congress with a real choice on protecting the environment and help distinguish which legislators are working for environmental protection. Except in rare circumstances, the Scorecard excludes consensus action on the environment and issues on which no recorded votes occurred.</p><center><font face="Arial" size="1">Source: LCV website <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_03n-LCV.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">03n-LCV</a> on Dec 31, 2003</font></center><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="11-H0835" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3><center><a name="11-H0835" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Regulate all dog breeders down to kennels of 50 dogs.</a></center></h3><a name="11-H0835" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Biggert co-sponsored PUPS: Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act</a><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="11-H0835" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Congressional Summary:</i></b>Amends the Animal Welfare Act to define a "high volume retail breeder" as a person who, in commerce, for compensation or profit: has an ownership interest in or custody of one or more breeding female dogs; and sells more than 50 of the offspring of such dogs for use as pets in any one-year period. Considers such a breeder of dogs to be a dealer.</a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">Promulgates requirements for the exercise of dogs at facilities owned or operated by high volume retail breeders, including requiring daily access to exercise that allows the dogs to move sufficiently in a way that is not forced, repetitive, or restrictive; and is in an area that is spacious, cleaned at least once a day, free of infestation by pests or vermin, and designed to prevent the dogs from escaping.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><b><i>Opponent's Comments (GSDCA, the German Shepherd Dog Club of America):</i></b>In the past, legislation has excluded home/hobby breeders. This bill would, for the first time, require home/hobby breeders to follow the strict USDA requirements, such as engineering standards designed for large commercial kennels and not homes. Such regulations would exceedingly difficult to meet in a home/residential breeding environment. If passed, PUPS would disastrously reduce purposely-bred pups for the public.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">There is nothing in this bill that changes the status of already known substandard kennel violators. There is no increase in funding for additional inspectors, nor is increased inspection evaluation education included.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">Dogs purposely bred for showing, trialing or other events often are not bred for several years due to many different reasons. Some of these dogs may never be bred, yet are included in the count.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">Working kennels maintain a large dog population while they are evaluating dogs; if the dogs do not work out for the purpose for which they were intended, they are often sold as pets. This could bring those working/training kennels under USDA regulations.</p><center><a name="11-H0835" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><font face="Arial" size="1">Source: HR835/S707 </font></a><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_11-H0835.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">11-H0835</a> on Feb 28, 2011</font></center><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;" /><center>

We rated legislators based on their voting behavior on measures such as agribusiness subsidies, lethal predator control, and the Endangered Species Act; their cosponsorship of priority bills on puppy mills, horse slaughter, animal fighting, and chimps in research; their support for funding the enforcement of animal welfare laws; and their leadership on animal protection. All of the priority bills whose cosponsorships we're counting enjoy strong bipartisan support; in the House, each of the four now has more than 150 cosponsors.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">The Humane Scorecard is not a perfect measuring tool, but creating some reasonable yardstick and allowing citizens to hold lawmakers accountable is central to our work. When the Humane Scorecard comes out each year, it helps clarify how the animal protection movement is doing geographically, by party affiliation, and in other categories. It helps us chart our course for animals by seeing where we have been effective, and where we need to improve.</p><center><font face="Arial" size="1">Source: HSLF website <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_12-HumaneH.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">12-HumaneH</a> on Jan 13, 2012</font></center><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2007-S261" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3><center><a name="2007-S261" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Strengthen prohibitions against animal fighting.</a></center></h3><a name="2007-S261" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Biggert co-sponsored strengthening prohibitions against animal fighting</a><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="2007-S261" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Sen. CANTWELL. I reintroduce today the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007. This legislation has won the unanimous approval of the Senate several times, but unfortunately has not yet reached the finish line.</a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">There is no doubt, animal fighting is terribly cruel. Dogs and roosters are drugged to make them hyper-aggressive and forced to keep fighting even after suffering severe injuries such as punctured eyes and pierced lungs. It's all done for "entertainment" and illegal gambling. Some dogfighters steal pets to use as bait for training their dogs, while others allow trained fighting dogs to roam neighborhoods and endanger the public.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">The Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act will strengthen current law by making the interstate transport of animals for the purpose of fighting a felony and increase the punishment to three years of jail time. This is necessary because the current misdemeanor penalty has proven ineffective--considered a "cost of doing business" by those in the animal fighting industry which continues unabated nationwide.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">These enterprises depend on interstate commerce, as evidenced by the animal fighting magazines that advertise and promote them. Our bill also makes it a felony to move cockfighting implements in interstate or foreign commerce. These are razor-sharp knives known as "slashers" and ice pick-like gaffs designed exclusively for cockfights and attached to the birds' legs for fighting.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;">This is long overdue legislation. It's time to get this felony animal fighting language enacted. It's time for Congress to strengthen the federal law so that it can provide as a meaningful deterrent against animal fighting. Our legislation does not expand the federal government's reach into a new area, but simply aims to make current law more effective. It is explicitly limited to interstate and foreign commerce, so it protects states' rights in the two states where cockfighting is still allowed.</p><center><a name="2007-S261" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><font face="Arial" size="1">Source: Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act (S.261/H.R.137) </font></a><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_2007-S261.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">2007-S261</a> on Jan 4, 2007</font></center><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><h3><center><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Focus on results, not regulation.</a></center></h3><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Biggert adopted the Republican Main Street Partnership issue stance:</a><p style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 8px;"><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;" /></p><ul><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">First Steps:</a><li><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;">Legislatively provide the EPA with a clear mission statement</a></li><li>Simplify environmental reporting requirements to focus on results, not regulations</li><li>Establish environmental improvement pilot programs at the state level</li><li>Devote increased resources to researching the causes and effects of global warming</li><li>Better understand -- and begin addressing -- the causes of and remedies to global warming</li></ul><center><a name="98-RMSP1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-decoration: underline;"><font face="Arial" size="1">Source: Republican Main Street Partnership Issue Paper: Environment </font></a><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Notebook/Note_98-RMSP1.htm" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">98-RMSP1</a> on Sep 9, 1998</font></center></li></ul>
