Goodbye Doolittle!

MISSION: John Doolittle is the far right wing, religious zealot and warmonger who is the U.S. Representative in Congress from the 4th District in California. This state of affairs is one of the saddest in the United States and brings great shame on our beautiful district. The purpose of this site is to shine a light on this cockroach and expose him as the worst Congressman in America. Visit the News page to see up-to-date mentions of Doolittle in Internet news sources. For older resource articles and links about Doolittle, click here.

Michael Moore Attempts to Shake Hands with John T. Doolittle

Doolittle Squeezes By Moore and Avoids Both Hand Shake and Any Potential Embarassing Questions

Wacky Doolittle Is In the Wind

"I paid for this," Doolittle said, waving the iPod before the packed hearing room. "I bought the material I want to record on it. But I may be prevented from taking advantage of this handy device."

At issue is the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which was so popular after a recording industry lobbying blitz that the House approved it on a voice vote.

"I didn't grasp the issues before us in 1998," Doolittle confessed. "We went way overboard. This needs to be corrected."

Mac News World

Doolittle is a co-sponsor of the legislation that aims to clean up our airwaves by imposing stricter penalties on broadcasters who air obscenity, indecency, and profanity on public television and radio.

Wacky: "If Democrats had their way, they'd repeal the jobs and growth tax relief bill which has been in effect since last May. Repealing this law would result in an immediate tax increase on America's families and businesses. If the Democrats were in charge, 111 million Americans would pay an average of $1,586 more in taxes today, 81 million women would pay an average of $1,878 more, 49 million married couples would pay $2,602 more, 43 million families with children would pay $2,090 more, and if the Democrats had their way, 25 million small businesses would pay an average of $3,000 more in taxes. Thankfully, they aren't in charge. Republicans realize that American families have always known the best way to spend their hard earned money. And since Republicans ARE in charge, you can count on keeping that money in your own pocket."

Lie #1: Tax cuts for wealthy provide little growth and no jobs. This administration is the first since Hoover to register negative job growth.

Lie #2: Repealing George Bush's tax cuts for the rich would not raise the taxes of ordinary Americans one penny. Wacky might pay more and his contributors might pay their fair share, but the average American will have no increase at all.

Lie #3: You don't need fuzzy math to add up 0 jobs and a $521 billion deficit.

Lie #4: Since the Republicans ARE in charge, how do I keep their thieving hands out of my pocket?

Radanovich and his allies want to designate the Highway 49 corridor between Oakhurst in Madera County and Tuttletown in Tuolumne County as the "Golden Chain Highway." In theory, this would help secure funds from both federal and other sources. "I thought it would promote the entire Gold Country corridor and put a focus on where California began," Sikes said.

Oh This is Rich: Fuzzy Math from Budget Buster Wacky Doolittle

As a sure fire remedy to balance the budget, each of the hackneyed Democrat presidential contenders has called for full or partial repeal of the Bush tax cuts. The projected revenue reduction in 2004 as a result of the 2003 tax cuts is $135 billion - yet the thriftiest of the Democratic platforms calls for $170 billion in new spending. Thatπs $35 billion more dollars in the hole that Democrats want to spend. The Democrats arenπt going to balance the budget so much as they are going to bust right through it! One thingπs for sure, if Democrats were doing the math, a "balanced budget" would never add up.

Television Analysis by Wack Doolittle

It's clear that the majority of America doesn't want to hear the trash-talking, anti-American chatter of Hollywood elitists, or watch liberal columnists hurl childish names at our president. As long as certain news channels continue to ignore the fact that most Americans are actually proud to be American, their ratings will continue to drop. The ruler of the ratings will always be the network that protects our values and cherishes our patriotism, not the ones who are embarrassed of their citizenship.

Wacky Disses Americorps

AmeriCorps advocates have responded that their participants also do less controversial and much needed services like painting a 76-year-old woman's house in South Buffalo, New York. However, this type of community service has traditionally been undertaken by groups like the Boy Scouts, civic clubs, and churches, rather than federally-paid "volunteers." In the past, AmeriCorps participants have also been found working at McDonald's, babysitting, participating in political rallies, putting on puppet shows, and sewing a quilt - all the while being paid by taxpayers. Advocates like former President Clinton, Senator McCain, and the New York Times want funding increased for this liberal endeavor before Congress adjourns for the year. In the coming weeks, watch for the Democrats to turn up the heat on President Bush and the Republicans in a desperate effort to sway public sentiment.

Wacky Doesn't Like the 9th U.S Circuit Court (Surprise!!!)

The most liberal court in the land ruled to delay the recall election on the grounds that voting machines in California were not fit for an accurate election. This baseless ruling is ironic considering that the very machines that are apparently too inadequate to recall Governor Davis were good enough to elect him last November. The radical ruling from this runaway court should come as no surprise.

Wacky's Ego and the "Doolittle Water Plan"

I recognize that our region's water needs are inseparably linked to Sacramento's flood protection, and I have fought for years to ensure that our region's water supply is adequately addressed. The passage of this bill is a tremendous accomplishment toward that goal. This measure contains funds for water management projects including $85 million for Placer and El Dorado Counties, $25 million for the Klamath River Basin, $25 million for Nevada, Sierra, Plumas, Lassen, and Butte Counties, and $66 million to construct a permanent bridge downstream of Folsom Dam.

Chickenhawk Doolitte and Patriotism

While Democrats defend their patriotic right to hurl horribly outlandish rhetoric at our Commander in Chief, they can't seem to muster the patriotism to support our troops and congratulate them for fighting the quickest, most successful war in history. Rather than give our soldiers the tools they need to continue to fight the incredibly successful war on terror, Democrats prefer to accuse the Administration of treachery and treason - and their accusations become more baseless and outrageous each time they open their mouths!

Wacky and His Pals Votes for Backstreet Abortions

Yesterday, in a party-line vote, Republicans in the House voted to ban gruesome and cruel partial birth abortions. This measure prohibits the disgusting procedure in which a living baby is partially delivered outside the body of the mother before being killed and the delivery completed. Over the past five Congresses, the House has repeatedly voted to ban this gross and unnecessary act, only to have it vetoed twice by President Clinton. Finally, after more than a decade of adversity, we have a president who will answer the cries of the unborn and sign this legislation into law. The ban on partial birth abortions could be on President Bush's desk as early as next week if Senator Boxer and her fellow liberals choose to listen to the American people and take up this legislation. Once signed, this legislation would be the first direct, national restriction on any method of abortion since the Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand in 1973.

Wacky Notices Terrorism, But His Terrorists are his Political Enemies

This summer, the Earth Liberation Front - a group of radicals masquerading as concerned environmentalists - torched luxury homes under construction in Southern California, turning the site into nothing more than charred sticks. In August, they turned an unfinished 206-unit apartment complex in San Diego into a massive bonfire, destroying $50 million worth of property and making it the single largest act of property destruction ever committed by this type of terrorist group in the history of the country.

Wacky Eye Stealing Our Social Security Just Like The Surplus (Think His Contributors are Happy?)

One of the hottest issues on Capitol Hill, and one that is sure to take center stage in the upcoming 2004 presidential elections, is what to do with one of the largest government programs in the world when it starts to run a deficit in 15 years. Social Security is the largest tax paid by the average American working family. However, this 68-year-old program must be drastically changed in order to ensure millions of the elderly continue receiving their retirement income after 2018. With Republicans and President Bush pushing for privatization of investments and real choice for Americans, Democrats have repeatedly blasted these bold, innovative and credible ideas with harsh criticism and evasive answers. When asked about their plan, Democrats on both the Hill and the campaign trail avoid all real answers and simply criticize Republicans.

Petition: "Remove U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay from Office"

The worst enemy of California in the House, Tom Delay, and coincidentally a real good buddy of our own Representative from Texas, John t. Doolittle.

With a $500 Billion Deficit Looming, Will Chickenhawk Doolittle Vote to Give Bush $87 Billion More for Iraq Costs? - You Betcha

Check out the Doolittle's Money page. Many of those who have received chunks of the first $79 Billion for Iraq will get huge chunks of the new appropriation. These are the people who contributed to Doolittle's campaign and help keep him in office. These are the people who own him and his President. And what do you think the chances are that these companies have financed the campaigns of many of the Democrats and Republicans who voted for the war based on a lie?

Bush plans to borrow billions to "reconstruct" a country that was needlessly deconstructed by his lying regime, abetted by traitorous Democrats and Republicans like Wacky Doolittle. Yet, our Congress must cut spending in our country. Tax cuts give billions to the rich and powerful paymasters of the President and his party... Where's the OUTRAGE?

$87b Is Enough To Give Every Man, Woman And Child In America $300

"[We] want to control spending. And I hope Congress lives up to their words. When they talk about deficits, they can join us in making sure we don't overspend. They can join us and make sure that [they are] focused those items that are absolutely necessary to the American people." - Bush, Jan. 6, 2003

Washington Post

"We must enact provisions which not only heighten enforcement of our borders but also eliminate the social-welfare benefits that attract illegal immigrants to our country," said U.S. Rep. John Doolittle, R-Calif., a member of the House Immigration Reform Caucus in World Net Daily August 14, 2003.

"The time is now to make English our official language, as I cannot think of a more important tie than a common way of communicating with each other. That is why I have joined over 90 of my fellow conservatives in the House to cosponsor Iowa Representative Steve King's English Language Unity Act of 2003." -John T. Doolittle in his In The Know newsletter from Aug 8.

"...conservatives shined this week by winning two major victories in the Foreign Relations Authorization bill ... including an amendment in the Foreign Relations Authorization bill that prohibits U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to organizations that perform or promote abortions under the guise of family planning, such as the UNFPA. This amendment passed by a vote of 216-211. President Bush threatened to veto the spending bill if this provision was gutted, and I have sent him a letter of thanks for his moral leadership and strong support of women and the unborn so viciously victimized by UNFPA. Our second victory in the bill impedes illegal immigration with an amendment limiting the use of consular identification cards, most notably utilized by Mexico, and authorizing the Department of State to stop granting visas to nationals of countries that violate related regulations. " -John T. Doolittle in his In The Know newsletter from July 18.

"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the Creator of the universe." - Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf

Chickenhawk Doolitte on March 20, 2003: "I pray for our brave men and women in the armed forces who have dedicated themselves to liberating the Iraqi people and ridding the world of yet another terrorist."

With chickenhawks like aWol Bush and Cheney in charge, can we expect less? But our representative Doolittle is an ardent supporter of Bush's Oil war. On his own web site, Doolittle's biography states:

Doolittle graduated from Cupertino High School in 1968. He graduated with honors from the University of California at Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and he earned his law degree from the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.

He did not serve and never has served in the military - at least Bush was awol from a Guard Unit. While thousands of his less fortunate peers died in the dank, dark jungles of Viet Nam, Doolittle was enjoying college life in Santa Cruz. Now while Americans die daily in the hot, dusty streets of Iraq, Doolittle enjoys his air-conditioned office in Washington D.C. Will his son J.T. or daughter Courtney serve? Perhaps, like fellow chickenhawk Tom Delay: "So many minority youths had volunteered ... that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like himself." Just another benefit of the Bush economy.

Doolittle is quick to pass legislation which protects the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance and the Ten Commandments - when will he pass a law to protect our troops from the illegal wars of his chickenhawk masters?

Doolittle Votes To Permanently Help the Rich by Repealing Inheritance Tax

Washington, D.C. - In a vote that he said is yet another indication of the Republicans long-term commitment to lowering taxes on rich Americans, U.S. Representative John T. Doolittle (R-Rocklin) today voted to permanently repeal the balancing inheritance tax - a tax which is fairly imposed upon the estates of individuals upon their death. The measure which was approved by a vote of 264-163, removes the "sunset" provision that was passed in the 2001 Bush tax-cut package and which would have reinstituted the death tax in 2011.

"In my judgment, of all the unfair taxes our government levies, this is one of the most egregious because California's farmers, ranchers, and small business owners are hit especially hard," Doolittle said. "First, they pay their taxes on their income, and then the federal government taxes the value of their property again at the time of their deaths, shamelessly sapping the life out of the American dream."

In 1916, the federal death tax was introduced to generate revenue for World War I and to prevent the transmission of wealth inequalities through inheritance. "Decades have passed since World War I, yet the idea of taxing inheritance is still fresh in the minds of many of my Democrat colleagues," said Doolittle.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where it died twice last year while under Democrat control. Doolittle said that he is optimistic that the new Republican leadership will send the measure to the president. "The time is now for the Senate to put the final nail in the death tax coffin. With its elimination, working families can reap the benefits of their labor and plan for the future without worrying about their children inheriting yet another tax burden."

"American entrepreneurship ought to be praised, not punished. I urge the Senate to act sooner rather than later to get rid of this black eye in our tax code once and for all."

Two of a kind! Doolittle hobnobs with Florida's Katherine Harris. Yep, that's right: the worst Representative in Congress now has competition from the worst Secretary of State and recent electee from the Sunshine State to Congress.

Read the OPEN LETTER From this site to Senator Diane Feinstein, Democratic Senator from California. Update Monday Aug 25

Feinstein also took the opportunity to do a little back-pedaling on her vote -- along with 76 other senators -- to permit Bush to use force against Iraq, saying she relied on government intelligence that indicated Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was prepared to use them.

"I don't believe the vote would have been as large if the mission was just regime change," she said.

Source

At the time, I got email from Feinstein claiming that she had "secret" knowledge from her hearings at the Intelligence Committee. What was this knowledge? Didn't she realize that her vote would influence the votes of colleagues, who did not have "secret" knowledge? Is this the answer she gives to thousands of dead Iraqis and more than a hundred of dead Americans and their families?

It is difficult in these times to distinguish when a member of the U.S House of Representatives is a lousy one. Fortunately, we have John Doolittle to set a standard as the low end.

Go here to see some of the bills that this "Representative" has co-sponsored so far this session. Including such beauties as:

Expressing the sense of Congress that the people and companies of the United States and the United States Armed Forces should not participate in the Paris Air Show, should the Government of France continue its opposition to the potential use of force to insure that Saddam Hussein complies with United Nations resolutions concerning weapons of mass destruction. [This is just about as stupid as Freedom Fries and other French bashing laws. Are our Reps just stupid?]

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Newdow v. United States Congress is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the first amendment and should be overturned, and for other purposes. [You know this one, don't you? This is the big "under god" thing. This question is: which god? Is it the god of Abraham? Is it Vishnu? Is it the Mormon God of Doolittle? What about the significant number of Americans that believe in no gods?]

Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States. [Are you kidding me? This gang of Republican Porkers along with the Unelected Fraud in the White House have set NEW RECORDS for deficits. Then they want o cut taxes for the rich more and have a balanced budget? It is absurd and insulting unless you are a moron.]

For George W. Bush, the race has begun to escape comparisons to Herbert Hoover. With more than two million jobs having disappeared since Mr. Bush took office in January 2001, he finds himself in danger of becoming the first president since Hoover to oversee a decline in the country's employment. Economists disagree on how much blame, if any, Mr. Bush deserves for the long slump, but even White House aides view the economy as one of the only big threats to his re-election campaign.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States restoring religious freedom. [Once again, which religion is free? And what about Freedom from Religion, as in please keep you behavior out of my face.]

Proposing a tax limitation amendment to the Constitution of the United States. [Typical Republican bull. They want to limit their tax and not yours.]

To establish and implement a competitive oil and gas leasing program that will result in an environmentally sound and job creating program for the exploration, development, and production of the oil and gas resources of the Coastal Plain, and for other purposes. [Yep, we can trust the Oil and Gas Industry to protect the enviroment - yee haw, Arbusto!]

To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit human cloning. [Good job!]

To amend title 4, United States Code, to declare English as the official language of the Government of the United States, and for other purposes. [Oh, good grief!]

To award a congressional gold medal to Prime Minister Tony Blair. [Reward the poodle! I'm sure this meant a lot to him.]

To amend title 28, United States Code, with respect to the jurisdiction of Federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court over certain cases and controversies involving the Pledge of Allegiance. [Tricky!]

To defend the Ten Commandments. [Oh good grief!!!!]

Is this guy a winner or what? If a writer was to create a Representative to be an explemplar of the goofiest, stupidest, narrowest, extremist way of thinking, he would not have to do much more than transfer the career of this politician to paper.

Here's a giggle - Check out the astonishing bills that Doolittle sponsored in the 107th Congress. They didn't call it the do little and delay congress for nothing. Classic Dolittle: To amend title 4, United States Code, to make sure the rules of etiquette for flying the flag of the United States do not preclude the flying of flags at half mast when ordered by city and local officials.

[Thank whatever deity you might or might no follow that we have Chickhawk Dolittle taking care of the business of the etiquette of the flag. Especially since other representative probably are too busy dealing with issues that affect people's lives.]
