                      REPUBLICAN YOU-CUT PROPOSAL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 30, 2010

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today in solidarity with 
Americans who are telling this Congress to stop spending.
  More than a million votes have been cast this week as part of the 
You-Cut initiative, which gives Americans the chance to say what 
spending we need to eliminate.
  This week, the American people said we need to stop paying federal 
workers to conduct union activities.
  These are bureaucrats who are paid by taxpayers but spend 100 percent 
of their time helping their unions. Their salaries should be paid for 
by union leaders--not hard-working American families.
  These workers cost taxpayers $1.2 billion
  This is not the ethical government the American people were promised, 
and today, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote to 
stop this unfair funding.
