Issue Position: Government Accountability

Issue Position

When our elected representatives act irresponsibly, they waste our money and undermine our confidence in government. Unfortunately, we've become jaded by the immeasurable waste, fraud and abuse of the Bush administration and their cronies both at home and in Iraq - all carried out under Chris Shays' nose while he has been a senior member of the House Oversight Committee. Our government was intended to be of the people, by the people, and for the people - not lobbyists and contractors. Chris Shays' failure to conduct meaningful oversight of the Bush administration, especially related to the conduct of the Iraq War, has resulted in an immeasurably high cost in lives and taxpayer dollars.
