13. Outreach and Brand Management
One of the keys to
successfully branding the
congressman was repetition
of themes across media.
Subject: Dent Dispatch - Feb. 6, 2009
A Bipartisan Spirit
In keeping with the themes that President Obama outlined in his Inaugural address, I believe we as a
nation can work together to recharge our economic engine, defend our nation against the threats we
face and preserve the American way for our children and grandchildren. I look forward to a
respectful, civil dialogue where we can pursue common-sense policies for the American people.
Of course there will be times when we agree and times when we disagree. Bipartisanship is only a
means to an end. That end should be good policy for the American people.
Money Not Well Spent
I voted for H.J. Res. 3, legislation to block the release of the final $350 billion outlay approved last fall
in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA). I believe the mission of the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (TARP) — which was intended to purchase toxic assets in order to restore capital to
our markets and prevent a catastrophe in our financial system — shifted dramatically in the past
three months.
I pledged when the EESA was signed into law that I would monitor the implementation of the
legislation carefully to assure that it did what it was intended to do — stabilize our economy while
protecting the interests of taxpayers. But the program drifted from its mission

14. Dent Dispatch continued…
For example, the TARP was never intended to make loans to
automobile manufacturers, but that is one of the ways the money
has been used. As the scope of the TARP has broadened, critical
taxpayer protections have weakened.
Particularly, in light of a massive stimulus bill that we knew would
be considered by Congress, I believe the responsible action would
have been to take time to evaluate the effectiveness of the TARP
and carefully consider what action is needed to stabilize the
economy. The House passed H.J.Res. 3 by a vote of 270 to 155,
but the Senate failed to pass their disapproval resolution and
therefore, the additional funding was released.
Timely, Targeted and Temporary: The Need for Real
Economic Stimulus
I voted against H.R. 1, ostensibly an $825 billion ―economic
stimulus‖ bill that was in fact an all-encompassing spending bill
that wouldn’t focus most resources on the immediate need for job
creation through advancing "shovel-ready" projects. The concept
of an economic stimulus bill, in the President's own words, is that it
should be "timely, targeted and temporary." The bill voted on in the
House failed those three tests.
This legislation devotes less than 10 percent of spending on hard
infrastructure projects, which can create and preserve the greatest
number of American jobs. Congress can maximize job creation by
dedicating funding in the stimulus bill to road and bridge
construction, airport upgrades, rail and mass transit
enhancements and water infrastructure improvements. In fact, I've
met with local and state officials to discuss what projects are most
viable in our region.
We must also focus on tax relief for Americans and for jobcreators.
While I don't believe this proposal has all the answers, Republican
House members are proposing an economic stimulus bill that
could create millions of jobs with significantly less spending.
Details of that proposal are here.
I hope that the House, Senate and Obama Administration will work
together to develop a stimulus package that more effectively
addresses the economic challenges facing our nation.
Grant Opportunity for First Responders
U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has opened the Fiscal Year (FY)
2008 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) application period until
Friday, March 6, 2009 at 5 p.m. EDT. These grants, along with
Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG), have provided millions of
dollars toward equipment and training for first responders in the
Fifteenth District the past few years.
