Rep. David Dreier

I want to add another comment to your Jan. 30 article (“Young GOP Stalwart Emerges as Hot Property in Gingrich Era”) about Rep. David Dreier (R-San Dimas). Like most Americans, I was fed up with a Congress that abused the public trust and flouted those abuses in our faces. Dreier said he would go to Washington and shake up the establishment, stand up to the special interest groups, and make government more responsive and accountable. And he succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

For 14 years Dreier has been voting against pay raises, voting against tax increases, voting against irresponsible deficit spending and voting to end perks and abuses. With the help of us voters, Dreier put an end to that outrageous party in Washington. It’s good to see Dreier’s accomplishments recognized by your paper. His is the face of the new Republican majority.
