Rodney Frelinghuysen

Voted FOR the $700 billion bailout of the financial services industry (TARP) (ACU-8).

Voted FOR a 2009 bill to double SCHIP spending (ACU-17).   This insurance entitlement provides free coverage for enrollees whose incomes can be as high as triple the poverty level—and the vote was viewed as an important step
toward the kind of nationalized health care that was passed in March 2010. Also notable, the CBO estimated that
nearly 80% of the children who were given free insurance under SCHIP already had private policies (Carter - NRO). To pay for the swelling program, his vote included a tax hike.

Voted FOR bailing out the auto industry (ACU-8). Four months later, our president was firing CEOs. Either Frelinghuysen favors nationalizing industry, or he's too short-sighted to deserve our trust. Either way, he's bad for the country.

Voted AGAINST protecting the Bush/Reagan policy of withholding aid from foreign agencies that perform abortions (ACU-6) Read what Kathryn Jean Lopez has to say about the vote: "This Mexico Policy is a Keeper."

Voted FOR Cash for Clunkers (ACU-17).

Voted AGAINST a 2009 amendment to withhold tax-payer dollars from Planned Parenthood (ACU-17).

Voted AGAINST a 2007 amendment to withhold tax-payer dollars from Planned Parenthood (ACU-6) Read what
Kathryn Jean Lopez has to say about Planned Parenthood: "Planned".

Voted AGAINST easing McCain/Feingold restrictions on political speech in the weeks before an election (1 of only
10 in the GOP)

Voted FOR Pelosi's "light-bulb ban" that, as the ACU explains, regulates "lights and appliances (including a ban on the incandescent light bulb), creating new programs for alternative energy sources, imposing more regulations
on energy companies and mandating vastly increased use of ‘renewable’ energy” (ACU 6).

Voted FOR Barney Frank’s Housing Trust Fund of 2007 (ACU-5), which Speaker Pelosi boasted as “the largest expansion in federal housing programs in decades” (Pelosi 1) and which the Bush administration opposed as “a duplicate program” that “would create an undue and counterproductive reliance on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” (Woolley & Gerhard

Voted FOR the 2007 Energy Policy that, according to the ACU, mandated reliance on biofuels while not allowing oil supplies to increase. The policy also stiffened regulations and raised taxes $2 billion (ACU-6).

Voted FOR applying McCain / Feingold to grassroots organizations (ACU-4) NOTE: Undoubtedly, in this instance, the dems were the good guys. This was GOP-sponsored and nearly ALL republicans voted for it. However, we at Remove the Rinos believe there is no excuse for voting against the 1st Amendment no matter how many republicans do so and no matter how reprehensible George Soros’ 527s are. And if John McCain were to jump off a bridge…..??

Voted AGAINST a 2006 conservative budget alternative that would have extended Bush’s tax cuts while trimming more than 300 billion dollars of discretionary spending, done away with close to 150 programs, and increased funds for the military and for veterans. It also would have opened ANWR for drilling (ACU-4) .

Voted AGAINST drilling in ANWR in 2005 (ACU 2).

Voted AGAINST drilling in ANWR in 2006 (ACU-4) .

Voted AGAINST off-shore drilling in 2006 (ACU-4)

Voted AGAINST off-shore drilling in 2007 (ACU-6).

Voted AGAINST a 2008 motion that would have encouraged drilling in ANWR, the Outer-continental Shelf, and other
territories in the West (ACU-8).

Voted AGAINST lifting the ban on oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico. Introduced in September 08, this measure would have given states the power to choose whether to allow production off their own coasts (ACU-8).

Voted AGAINST banning taxpayer dollars from going to the U.N. to renovate, or build anew, their headquarters in the United States (ACU 4).

Voted AGAINST an amendment that would keep government funds from being used to enforce trigger-lock regulations (ACU-4). Critics argue these regulations have little value in promoting gun safety and are primarily punitive in design, adding cost and red tape to gun ownership. Still worse, these trigger locks would hamper, if not
outright nullify, a gun-owner's ability to use the weapon in self-defense. This suggests another Machiavellian gun-
control strategy: if you can't make a gun illegal, do the next best thing - make it useless.

Voted AGAINST a bill protecting property owners from eminent domain abuses. The bill would guarantee access to the federal court so that citizens could sue to stop the government from taking their property.

Voted AGAINST an amendment to cut discretionary spending by 2% while protecting the Bush tax cuts (ACU 2).

Voted FOR raising CAFE standards (ACU-2) For a look at the link between higher CAFE standards and increased traffic fatalities, as well as the folly of the economic justifications for higher standards, see what Dennis Kneale has to say: "New CAFE" (CNBC-1)

Voted FOR funding the U.N. Population Fund (ACU 2).

Voted FOR raising minimum wage after the Dems rejected tax cuts that would have protected entry-level workers and small businesses (ACU-6) . For insights into the harmful effects the measure, in its House form, would have meant to workers and small businesses, National Review Online consulted with four leading economists. All four economists agreed that only politicians stood to gain from the measure : "At Minimum…Should Republicans fight back against a minimum-wage increase?"

Voted FOR spending an additional $100 million on Public Broadcasting (ACU 2).

Voted AGAINST reforming the Endangered Species Act (ACU 2). to reimburse property owners for losses suffered from not being able to develop their land. It also clarified species designations, better protecting the species in need of protection and better targeting the properties in need of oversight (Marano and Lieberman).

Voted AGAINST the Online Freedom of Speech bill, which would have prevented e-mail and blogs from being regulated by the Federal Election Commission (ACU-2). In essence, this bill's defeat leaves open the possibility that
McCain/Feingold could reach its way dramatically into the Internet (Hayward).

Voted AGAINST the 2008 Republican budget resolution that, according to the ACU, "would have made the Bush tax
cuts permanent, capped discretionary spending at $973 billion, reduced mandatory spending by $12 billion over five years, and imposed a moratorium on pork barrel 'earmarks'” (ACU-8).
