• On August 06, 2012, by nirvana - Mr. Cantor deeply cares for the safety of Israel (H.R. 4133) and is ready to give anything (American taxpayer money, weapons, etc) to a foreign country. Yet, he does not care about the health and well-being of his constituents, the American citizens, the people who elected him. How about we give the American taxpayer money that he wants to give to a foreign country to Americans and ensure their health and well-being?
