VETOING REP. FOSSELLA
 VETO FOSSELLA is dedicated to exposing Rep. Vito Fossella's (R-NY13) Congressional record. His
Congressional district, NY-13 is made up of Staten Island and the Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Gravesend neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Our
sympathies if he is your Representative.There are many reasons for the constituents of his district to 'veto' him in 2008. Maybe it is his corruption highlighted by his use of campaign funds to go on lavish trips. Or maybe it is the money he takes from disgraced former members of Congress such as Tom DeLay (R-TX) and Bob Ney (R-OH) and criminals such as Jack Abramoff, Tony Rudy and Neil Volz. Or quite possibly it could just be his failure over his time in Congress to actually introduce legislation that would benefit his district instead of wasting away his time by writing up resolutions demanding the Post Office create new stamps. Sadly he actually did that! Whatever your frustration with Rep. Vito Fossella, you have the chance to finally VETO Vito Fossella and send someone to Washington D.C. to actually do some work. Don't feel bad for him though, it will give him more time to ski with lobbyists in Colorado. That is assuming he isn't indicted before then. VETO FOSSELLA! |

Staten Island native and painter. |
