    <description><![CDATA[
                    (Washington, D.C.)-  Representative McCaul voted to protect his constituents from the largest tax increase in American history, part of a fiscally irresponsible budget proposed by the House Democrat majority. The budget hikes taxes on the American people by $684 billion, which will negatively affect some people making only $32,000 a year, to bankroll new wasteful spending.  Under the Democrat budget, 116 million American taxpayers will pay higher taxes.  Texas taxpayers will see an average increase of nearly $3000, money that they need to cover higher gas, food, and healthcare prices.

    <description><![CDATA[
                    
                    (Washington, DC) - Yesterday, the Senate passed a broad, bipartisan bill that will help keep America safe by closing the terrorist loophole in our nation&rsquo;s surveillance laws.   This bill strengthens the ability of our intelligence agencies to protect American lives.  House Republicans are prepared to join them, President Bush has said he would sign it into law and numerous House Democrats support its passage.  However, after a temporary fix, a temporary extension, and almost seven months of delay on long-term FISA modernization, Speaker Pelosi rejected the Senate passed version of the bill, and the request of a coalition of her colleagues and instead, scheduled a pointless vote today on a third temporary extension of FISA. This evening, however, 34 Democrats joined every single voting Republican in defeating the Democratic leadership&rsquo;s latest attempt to stall passage of a long-term FISA fix.]]></description>
