Denham: Fully engaged public servant
POSTED September 11, 2012 1:48 p.m.

It is impressive the legislation that Congressman Jeff Denham has authored or cosponsored on a variety of issues during his first term.
One such item is his bipartisan Veteran Skills to Jobs Act  (H.R. 4155), having passed into law, and will create a skill certification process that will help vets secure good jobs. Mr. Denham also sponsored H.AMDT 1367 to H.R 5972, an amendment to prohibit the use of funds to be used for the $98 billion High Speed Rail, that has no private investors.
He co-sponsored the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Water Reliability Act (H.R. 1837) that permits water storage project construction throughout California, and will increase water delivery and certainty to create valley jobs.
Other important bills that Denham has co-sponsored include: H.R. 2: Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act; H.R. 10: Regulations From The Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2011; H.R. 750: Defending America's Affordable Energy Act; and H.R. 1744: American Job Protection Act.
A special shout out to Mr. Denham for the jobs fair he held at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, August 22nd. Employers spoke to job seekers while distributing information and taking resumes. That's what I call fully engaged public service.

This is so funny. Mr. Denham is a Republican in the House of Representatives. Yes, the group with a 10% approval rating. He does deserve credit for the recent job fair.

Read his weirdly-named bills (Regulations From The Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act) he sponsored and you may see he is a robot Republican whose goal is to obstruct President Obama at every turn. And where was Mr. Denham's vote on Eric Holder, and on the abortion bills in Congress? No mention of Mr. Denham's votes on these job-avoiding efforts? Why is that?
