Has Your Representative Signed the Veto Pledge?
Rep. Chris Cox (R.-Calif.) is asking Republican House members to sign a pledge to support President Bush on any veto he casts to control government spending. Because it takes a two-thirds vote of both houses to override a veto, it would take the pledges of only 146 House Republicans (out of 228) to insure that no Bush spending-related veto is over-ridden. The Cox Pledge reads:
"Dear Mr. President: To help you control spending during the remainder of the 108th Congress, we will vote to sustain any veto you exercise on the basis that the legislation you veto would result in unnecessary spending."
One hundred members signed this pledge. The article lists Republican members' names and their position on the pledge, and provides the Capitol switchboard phone number. You can also contact your representative by e-mail or hard copy letter using our Take Action page.
