SAFE Commission Act in Congress
Congressional candidate says bipartisan bill
to establish an independent financial oversight
commission is good for country
BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 1st District, announced today his support for H.R. 3654, the SAFE Commission Act. Introduced by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN), the SAFE Commission Act would “establish a commission to develop legislation designed to reform tax policy and entitlement benefit programs and ensure a sound fiscal future for the United States.”
The SAFE Commission Act currently has 111 cosponsors in the House, including members of both parties. The incumbent in New Jersey’s 1st District, Rob Andrews, is not a cosponsor of the bill.
“Unfortunately, too many of the career politicians down in Washington are concerned only with getting re-elected and ‘bringing home the bacon,’ rather than showing real leadership for the future of our country,” Glading said. “Because those career politicians are so unduly influenced by special interests and lobbyists, we must establish a commission of experts that will determine the best approach for tackling our future tax and entitlement crises. Our children and our grandchildren deserve no less.”
“We have seen with the recent financial collapse that many in Congress cannot be trusted to do what is best for the country when forced to choose between that and the lure of campaign contributions,” Glading continued. “Mr. Andrews voted for the 1999 bill that deregulated the banking industry and allowed for this financial collapse to occur. In exchange, he received more than $1.3 million in campaign contributions from financial industry sources.”
“Rob Andrews took the money and left the rest of us – the taxpayers – holding the bag,” Glading concluded. “We must not allow this to happen again. Implementing the SAFE Commission Act and sending an honest representative down to Washington are two key steps to bringing real reform to the people of South Jersey.”

Quote of the Day
"Please. I wouldn't have enough paper. So let’s not even bother writing one. This is now about governing. I won. The one thing I could never understand about people in politics was winners who are sore winners." -- Gov.-elect Christopher Christie, on putting together an enemis list.
“He’s a nice man with good intentions, but in the end he’ll be remembered for timidity. Being a business titan and issuing orders from the corner office is a lot different than having to cajole and persuade people in politics and having the toughness and fortitude to see your vision become reality.”-- Ross K. Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University, on Gov. Jon Corzine.
