Titus secures seat on third committee

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., has been named to her third committee in the House, getting a special waiver from the Democratic leadership to serve on more than the usual number of committees.

Titus, the newly elected representative of the suburban Clark County 3rd District, was awarded a spot on the Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.

    • "Protecting the American people is our first duty as elected officials," Titus said in a statement. "As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I will work to fulfill that duty by ensuring that from our borders to our ports, from our firefighters to our police, the necessary resources are invested to provide for our nation's safety and security."

    Titus had been named to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Education and Labor Committee. A waiver is needed when a member of Congress serves on more than two committees.

    I am a Democrat who supports you and hope you will support me and the rest of the American public by voting against the earmarks and unneeded items in the appropriations and defense budget bills. Please oppose the items in the Defense bill that Secretary Gates and the President have clearly stated are not needed or wanted by our military leadership.
    It would be nice to have funds for special projects here in Southern Nevada, but I would much rather spend our available resources to promote economic and defense strength for our nation as a whole.
    Sincerely,
    Bj Polk

At least she is getting on committees and not being the perennial backbencher, if you stupid rednecks even know what that means...Dina Titus will be twice the representative than the last schmuck who doesnt even deserve to have his name dropped.

She will help to open the borders wide and English will become a second language here for everyone within a year. It amazes that many people were stupid and ignorant enough to vote for this "thing" to go to Congress.
