Tiberi's sole NO vote, was AGAINST funding the "Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill of 2007″ which would have:
Appropriated $1,337,080,000 to the Army Corps of Engineers for construction and flood control,
Expressed the gratitude of Congress and the American people to members of the United States Armed Forces (at a cost of $0 billions),
Prohibited funds to establish any permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq (Tiberi supports 100-year war), and
Further acknowledged that Congress alone has the power to declare war.
In Tiberi's [extremely weak] defense, he later voted for the "GI Bill, Funding for Midwest Flood Cleanup, Extension of Unemployment Benefits, and Other Provisions" which appropriated $8.48 billion for natural disaster relief and recovery. Of course, the "Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill of 2007″ Tiberi had previously rejected, would have funded the Army Corp of Engineers $1.34 billion to prevent such flood damage.
Much like the ridiculousness of H-6111 (the abstinence [anti-]educational program Tiberi never opposed), the prevention of unwanted consequences is almost always the more ethical and fiscally responsible solution. If Tiberi is so adamantly "pro-life" that he would advocate for an abstinence-only over a fact-based sex education, then why did he vote to fund a pre-emptive shock-and-awe campaign against the already born (of Iraq and Afghanistan)? Did GOD tell him it was the "right thing to do?"
When we consider the resulting floods across the United States caused by predictable–and in fact predicted levy failures, his repeated refusal to fund the care for our Veterans, and his consistent votes FOR milking this 100-year-"war"-Keynsian-cash-cow–then Tiberi's vote against the "GI Bill, Funding for Midwest Flood Cleanup, Extension of Unemployment Benefits, and Other Provisions" bill alone should be enough to illustrate the treasonous priorities of "our" congressman.
Specifically, Tiberi claims "I have been deeply and personally committed to improving health care for veterans for nearly twenty years..."
Oh, really?
"Our congressman" voted AGAINST adding $53 million for veterans' health care and processing claims for compensation and pensions. This amendment failed by only one vote.
"Our congressman" voted AGAINST providing benefits for eligible members of the Armed Forces.
"Our congressman" voted FOR the 2006 Congressional Budget which resulted in SIGNIFICANT CUTS in veterans' benefits programs.
"Our congressman" voted AGAINST extending health benefits to Reservists and members of the National Guard--as if they are second class soldiers! Dying and wounded in illegal aggressions overseas that they never agreed to fight.
From 2003-2005, the Disabled American Veterans gave Mr. Tiberi a grade of 0 every year. In 2006, the Retired Enlisted Association gave this public servant a grade of seven–out of 100.
