Rep. Walter Jones: Omnibus Bill? Are You Kidding? I Don’t Even Know What’s In It!

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), an RPI Board Member, again demonstrates why he is one of the few exemplary Members of Congress left in the House. Asked by CNSNews whether he would be voting for the monstrous omnibus continuing resolution on the House Floor this past week, he replied:

I am not voting for the bill. I have been very outspoken on this. How can you take a 1,600 page bill, get the rule on it today, and expect Members to cast a sensible vote on that kind of bill? You can’t do it. I don’t even know what’s in the bill.

If only the other Members adopted Rep. Jones’ position on bills that could not be read, could not be understood, but were deemed so critical by House leadership that to vote “no” was to constitute a serious violation. Rep. Jones has paid for his independence and his willingness to stand up for America rather than just the Republican Party.

No wonder he recently scored a perfect 100 percent on the New American’s Freedom Index, which measures Members’ “adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements.”

Rep. Jones is the one to follow in the US House of Representatives!
