Iraq War
Lipinski's father voted against the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 that started the Iraq War.[1] Since he arrived in Congress Dan Lipinski has consistently opposed legislation that would push the President to withdraw troops faster then he wanted.
In late June 2007, Rep. Lipinski, along with Reps. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Frank Wolf (R-Va.), Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), and Michael McCaul (R-Texas), issued a letter to President Bush, urging him to reconstitute the Iraq Study Group. The bipartisan group referred to a provision included in the Foreign Operations appropriations bill passed by the House to provide $1 million to the U.S. Institute for Peace to reestablish the Iraq Study Group. The members worried whether the President would sign the bill with that amendment included. Rep. Udall stated that allowing the group to update their report would give the President, Congress, and the public an independent perspective on the situation in Iraq to compare with the report due by General Petraeus in September.

Family and Consumer Choice Act
Lipinski sponsored the Family and Consumer Choice Act of 2007 (H.R.2638) with Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) on June 15, 2007. The bill would give consumers the ability to choose and pay only for channels they want as well as further limit "indecent" programming from being broadcast at certain times of the day.

From 2000 to 2001, he served as a Professor at the University of Notre Dame. He has served as an aide to four members of Congress including, George Sangmeister from 1993 to 1994, Jerry Costello from 1995 to 1996, and Rod Blagojevich from 1999 to 2000. In addition, he served as an aide to then-House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. Lipinski was elected on roughly the same platform as his father, promising to be a fairly conservative Democrat while fighting for government support for the district.
