REASONS FOR HIGH GAS PRICES

David Scott on Immigration
Democratic Representative (GA-13)

Voted NO on building a fence along the Mexican border.

Within 18 months, achieves operational control over U.S. land and maritime borders, including:

1. systematic border surveillance through more effective use of personnel and technology; and
2. physical infrastructure enhancements to prevent unlawful border entry

Proponents support voting YES because:

It is obvious there is no more defining issue in our Nation today than stopping illegal immigration. The most basic obligation of any government is to secure the Nation's borders. One issue in which there appears to be a consensus between the Senate and the House is on the issue of building a secure fence. So rather than wait until comprehensive legislation is enacted, we should move forward on targeted legislation which is effective and meaningful. The legislation today provides over 700 miles of two-layered reinforced fencing, and for the rest of the border provides a virtual fence, via integrated surveillance technology.

Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment.

Vote to pass the bill that would require hospitals to gather and report information on possible illegal aliens before hospitals can be reimbursed for treating them. The bill would also make employers liable for the reimbursements if an undocumented employee seeks medical attention, unless the employer meets particular conditions for exemption. The bill would specify that hospitals aren't required to provide care to undocumented aliens if they can be transported to their home country without a significant chance of worsening their condition.

Reference: Undocumented Alien Emergency Medical Assistance Amendments; Bill HR 3722 ; vote number 2004-182 on May 20, 2004

Rep. David Scott position is that U.S. citizens
pay for the medical costs of illegal aliens.

David Scott in trouble.
May 25th, 2007 by Buzz Brockway

Believe it or not, there are corrupt Democrats out there. I know it’s hard to comprehend because Democrats only desire to help the little people. Sadly, it appears Georgia’s own Congressman David Scott has been hanging around William Jefferson too much:

“I have done nothing wrong,” Scott said in an hourlong interview Thursday.

But a packet of tax, property and campaign documents that has been anonymously circulated among news organizations, including the Journal-Constitution, in recent months implies Scott has blurred the lines between his personal, political and family business.

Since 2002, Scott’s family members and business have received from the campaign between $52,000 and $344,000 every two-year election period. The Federal Election Commission allows that practice as long as family members are actually working and the business is providing a service it normally provides at a fair market price.

The Scotts said they decided to staff the campaign themselves after spending huge amounts of money on consultants in his first campaign.

“We were paying these consultants, and we were doing all the work,” said Alfredia Scott, who now runs the family business and her husband’s campaigns.

Remember the outrage when Tom Delay’s campaign hired his wife and daughter? Let’s see if Big Media is as outraged at Cong. Scott.
 

AJC David Scott says Hillary has “best chance to win”

Saying that New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was “smart, tough, and prepared”, Georgia Congressman David Scott announced his support for the former First Lady's bid for President.

“We’ve got to win,” Scott said. “Hillary is our best chance to win.”

Rep. Scott made these comments at Paschal's Restaurant where Sen. Clinton received the endorsement of Georgia Congressman John Lewis.

Rep. Scott One Of “Most Corrupt”
Atlanta congressman on ‘corrupt’ list
Ethics group cites late taxes, campaign payments to kin

Bob Kemper // Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | http://CitizensForEthics.org/node/30146

19 Sep 2007 // Rep. David Scott, an Atlanta Democrat, was named Tuesday as one the 25 most "corrupt members of Congress" by a ethics watchdog group that cited, among other charges, his failure to pay taxes on time and the mingling of his personal business interests and his campaign finances.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington made the charge in an online report at www.beyonddelay.org, that CREW said "documents the egregious, unethical and possibly illegal activities of the most tainted members of Congress."

Citing news reports and Scott's campaign-finance records, CREW said Scott's family advertising business, Dayn-Mark, failed to pay $154,000 in payroll taxes on time and $4,600 in local and state taxes since 1998.

Scott also was late in paying $23,200 in property taxes on his home.

Most of you don’t even know his name. David Scott (rhymes with rot) is the most non-representative Black person in the U.S. Congress. The very worst.

Rep. Scott, whose district lies south of Atlanta, runs with a gaggle of renegade rightwing House members that includes Harold Ford, Jr., of Memphis, Alabama’s Artur Davis and fellow Georgian Sanford Bishop. Scott leads the pack, having managed to vote with Republicans more than any other member of the Congressional Black Caucus on issues tracked by Techpolitics.org, the authoritative site run by veteran political researcher Ken Colburn.

Rep. Scott is lavishly rewarded for his loyalty to corporations. He ranks fourth in campaign contributions among Black House members ($803,334), according to Techpolitics, right behind Rep. Davis ($918,781), Ford ($1,344,398), and New York Congressperson Charles Rangel ($1,446,027). As the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, and having served in the Congress since 1970, Rangel deserves the money. The other three are whores to big business, and Rep. Scott is the worst. According to OpenSecrets.org, 76 percent of Scott’s political action committee (PAC) campaign funds came from corporations in the 2003-2004 election cycle. We know who he serves.

Scott aide cries foul, gets fired

Rep. David Scott has fired an aide who accused the congressman of having staff work for his campaign while on the congressional payroll.

Robert Merrill, who worked for four and a half years in the Georgia Democrat's Jonesboro district office, told The Politico he was fired for contacting the media without approval.

Scott's office denied the congressman has compelled staff to do political work but wouldn't comment on why Merrill was fired.

After The Politico published a story exposing Scott's tax problems and his mixing of his campaign, personal and business finances, Merrill e-mailed the reporter.

"If only you knew the rest," Merrill wrote in an unsolicited e-mail sent from his official House e-mail address. "This is relatively minor compared to his use of congressional staff on campaign and fundraising work."

In ensuing e-mails and telephone calls, Merrill named congressional employees he said Scott hired specifically to do campaign work, including one who formerly worked for a Scott-family-owned advertising firm.

One former employee, Sarah Balog, who worked in Scott's district office from 2003 to 2005, said she "never saw or knew of anyone working on campaign work on government time, period. It didn't happen."

It's not uncommon for campaigns to pay off-the-clock congressional employees for political work. Neither Balog nor a majority of the 35 people listed at one time on Scott's congressional payroll received any payments from Scott's campaign committee. But eight of those people were paid a total of $57,000 in donor funds, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Scott's office issued a statement calling Merrill's allegations about forced political work "untrue." Aides would give no details about Merrill's departure but did not dispute that he had been fired. "We are not able to comment on the motivations of this former employee," the Scott statement said.

Merrill suspects the congressman became aware of his contact with The Politico by checking his e-mails. Asked if the office monitored employees' e-mails, Scott spokesman Michael Andel said, "We do not discuss internal office procedures."

Before his dismissal last month, Merrill forwarded e-mails sent by Scott's aides to and from their congressional accounts organizing a fundraiser for Scott held last month in Atlanta. An itinerary for the fundraiser included details such as the number of people who would sit at each table: "a head table set up for the 'Big Donors'' would seat 12 people, while "other tables will seat about 6-8 people. We will be figuring out who will be sitting at the head table in the next day."

The itinerary also spelled out roles at the fundraiser for employees of Scott's congressional office, including manning the sign-in table, taking photographs and driving the fundraiser's guest of honor, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), to and from the airport.

Rep. David Scott (D-GA) named one of the 22 most corrupt members of Congress

http://www.beyonddelay.org/node/317

Rep. David Scott (D-GA) is a third-term congressman, representing Georgia’s 13th district. Rep. Scott’s ethics issues stem from allegations of tax evasion and misuse of official resources for political campaign activity.

Tax Evasion

In 2003, Rep. Scott and his wife, Ms. Alfredia Scott, began missing federal income tax payments that now total nearly $154,000 and have failed to pay $23,200 in taxes on their Georgia home. In addition, their company Dayn-Mark Advertising, failed to pay over $4,600 in local and state taxes since 1998. At the same time the Scotts were failing to pay their taxes, they increased their stock holdings from $5,000 to about $67,000 and bought a $702,000 rowhouse in Washington D.C. More than 40 tax liens have been placed against Rep. Scott’s home and business.

Personal, Business and Campaign Finances

Since Rep. Scott’s first congressional bid in 2002, Rep. Scott’s wife, two daughters, his son-in-law and employees of Dayn-Mark have received disbursements from his campaign committee. From 2002 through the July 2007 FEC reporting period, Rep. Scott’s campaign committee paid a total of $124,795.98 to his wife, two daughters and son-in-law, and $491,382.00 to Dayn-Mark Advertising and its employees. Rep. Scott has reimbursed himself $98,952.75 for travel, billboards, and fund-raising expenses. In total, since 2002, Rep. Scott’s committee has disbursed $715,330.17 to his family, business, and himself. The payments to his family and company became larger and more frequent in 2003, around the same time Rep. Scott was falling behind on his taxes.

Rep. Scott, by failing to pay taxes on his home and business and by failing to pay property taxes on his Georgia home may have violated federal and state tax laws.

Rep. David Scott’s financial shenanigans
Rep Scott’s records indicate he cares more about his wealth and comfort than about education, employment and health needs of the citizens of Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Douglas, Henry, and South Fulton Counties.

This morning, after this story in The Politico.com, the Atlanta paper finally “investigated” the tangled web of Rep David Scott’s (D-GA) campaign finances. The AJC story consists largely in uncritically reporting the Scott camp’s explanations of documentary evidence that, according to the paper, “has been anonymously circulated among news organizations, including the Journal-Constitution, in recent months.”
