Bob Novak, a Washington based political reporter, wrote a very revealing article on the recent failure of the House Democratic Majority to permanently bring America’s intelligence gathering laws into the 21st Century.

Apparently the sticking point for some in the Democratic Majority in the House was that trial lawyers were arguing against the bi-partisan Senate passed bill that put in place a long-term fix to the terrorist loophole.  Some trial lawyers have helped bankroll Democratic candidates.  By not working for a real solution to this problem, House Democrats have effectively put the interests of trial lawyers and big donors ahead of the safety of the American people.

Luke Puckett believes that we do not need to advocate for short-term fixes that don’t deal with problems.  As our Congressman, Luke Puckett will stand up for the most important special interest group: The American people.  Often this group is overlooked and under-represented in the offices of K-Street lobbyists.  It’s time for real, common-sense solutions that keep America safe.
