Congresswoman Sherri Davis, R-CA, Urges President Bush to Include Bi-Partisan ‘Family Pak' of Legislative Proposals in Upcoming State of the Union Address
2007-01-20 20:07:17 - Project SATYR, BRA, YMCA, INCA, "Sexy Fridays" legislation will address key family-oriented issues in a bipartisan way, says Davis
New York, NY (PRINSIDE) January 20, 2007 -- California Congresswoman Sherri Davis, R-CA, known as the "Ann Coulter of Anaheim" for her fierce opposition to flag-burners and illegal immigrants and her unyielding support for the American family, issued a statement today urging President George Bush and the Bush Administration to include her new 'Family Pak' of six legislative proposals in President Bush's upcoming State of the Union address, scheduled to be presented to the nation this Tuesday.
"My ‘Family Pak' of six legislative proposals is the result of extensive bipartisan think- tank style discussions held with bipartisans from coast to coast," says Davis. "Many of the proposals would cost the federal government virtually nothing, but reap jackpot rewards. It's truly a ‘Three Cherries' approach to the problems of the American family And what American doesn't like a nice six-pack every now and then."
Davis, a rising star of the Republican Party, has received substantial media attention as a result of a nationwide brainstorming campaign that her admirers in the media have dubbed "Sherri's War of Ideas." "'Sherri's War of Ideas' is a pure war of ideas over the next two years, with myself and other Republicans picking at Democratic initiatives as pro-tax, pro-spending, or unworkable," says Congresswomen Davis, who chairs the House Entertainment Committee and has become known as the "Voice of Hollywood" in Congress. Davis' signature legislative proposals are discussed weekly in her exclusive "Internet-Only" talk show, "Talking on Thursdays," produced by Myron Kempelstein Productions, Ltd.
Congresswoman Davis' "Family Pak" includes these six key Pro-Family legislative proposals:
1.) The Yoga Mat Cleanliness Act. (YMCA). "Now I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: Studies show that over 1.2 million work days are lost each year in America to yoga-mat borne diseases, including jock itch and strep," says Davis. "These previously overlooked yoga-mat borne ‘fungal illnesses' are taking $300 million out of American paychecks each year, money that could be going to Baby. And we can save Americans much pain and financial sorrow merely by establishing and then enforcing standard levels of communal yoga mat cleanliness in the yoga industry," says Davis. "Join with me and Sarah Jessica Parker to help stomp out jock itch in our lifetime through mandatory cleanliness standards for communal yoga mats." http://youtube.com/watch?v=QvpvuAI2uuE
2.) Project SATYR ("Scrapbooking Accelerates Terrific Youth Reading"), is a program designed to capitalize on America's current "scrapbooking craze" to increase youth reading levels and literacy rates through individual vouchers, middle- and high-school scrapbooking curriculum requirements, and major tax-breaks to the American scrapbooking industry. "One of my favorite new singers, Kelis, sings about how her 'milkshakes' bring all the boys to her yard, and it is this exact same proposition we are seeing take place in regards to scrapbooking and teen literacy," says Davis. "We view teen scrapbooks as the 'milkshakes of teen literacy' that will bring underperforming teen readers to the 'yard' of teen literacy. Let's face it -- if teens won't read about themselves, in their own scrapbooks, then what will they read about? What's wrong with capitalizing on our youth culture's own narcissism to 'trick' underperforming teens right into literacy?" http://youtube.com/watch?v=1vPbHD3GaJI
3.) The "Bible Repatriation Act," (BRA), a legislative act to bring control of the Bible back into the hands of America by requiring that -- for national security purposes -- all Bibles be printed in the United States of America. "Just yesterday, a favorite constituent of mine sent me a copy of a Bible he had acquired that was printed in a foreign country -- and I can't tell you which country because of National Security reasons, but it does begin with an I, which I don't think will surprise anyone," says Davis. "While reading this particular Bible, my constituent discovered that in Kings and then again in Deuteronomy, the sections of the Bible that talk about ‘approved entrances' to the human body had been altered somehow during the printing process to include new, unapproved entrances to the human body that the Lord in his wisdom never intended to open up for business. And it is safe to say that this is obviously the work of America's foreign enemies -- enemies who are not only anti-American, but also anti-family. Hence my support of BRA. Bring our Bibles home. Bring them home." http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qg5AoOGYmwY
4.) The 'Sexy Fridays Act," (SFA), an act to bring sexy, flirtatious fun back into America's workplaces every Friday. "As plummeting American marriage statistics demonstrate, political correctness has just gone way too far, and bipartisan women nationwide feel it's time to reel it back in, to in effect, ‘get real' once again," says Davis. 'Whose idea was ‘dress down Fridays' anyways -- Al Gore's? Walter Mondale's? One of the two I'm sure."
According to Davis, modern women want an opportunity to show what they've got and that they know how to use it -- but in a safe environment like the workplace. "If my legislation passes -- and I have great hopes that it will -- American women from coast to coast will put on our boas and our Pashminas and once again strut our stuff in the workplace every Friday -- and receive substantial tax breaks for doing so!" Davis notes that a startling new study shows 51% of all women in our country are currently living without a man. "Among other things, this contributes to our nation's continued dependence on foreign energy sources," notes Davis. "Because cuddling can generate a tremendous amount of heat." Davis says the SFA will also earmark funds to create a national interactive database on the Internet giving tips on "roleplaying."
5.) The Mandatory Portion Control Act (MPCA): "America is facing a growing health epidemic: obesity," says Davis. "And with the MPCA, the plan is to stop this epidemic right at its source: the refrigerator door." Under the bipartisan MPCA, refrigerator manufacturers would be required to include automatic-locking controls on all new models by the year 2012, so that food consumption can be controlled long distance by parents or -- in a situation where an entire "problem family" has been deemed by authorities to be "non-compliant" -- by federal, state or local authorities. According to Davis, Health and Human Resources Dept. officials are also looking into authorizing the home-use of tasers, if deemed necessary. "But that's down the road a ways," says Davis. "Let's see if this works first. It's definitely a brave new world out there, but through the MPCA, I'm hoping we can cut billions from Medicare and Medicaid -- and pass the savings on to you!" http://youtube.com/watch?v=0KcHkLtqry0
6.) The Interest Normalization Cap Act (INCA): "Our American troops are on the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting to keep the terrorists there from invading to America," says Davis. "And many of them have young families that they have left behind. And so it makes my blood boil to hear that many of these troops and their families are being victimized by the so-called Pay Day Loan industry, which in states such as Oregon, allow members of the military to be charged interest rates as high as 521% a year. Now usually I am in favor of letting the marketplace do its job -- call me Keynesian! -- but since this involves our troops, as a Republican and a bipartisan I say, let's see if we join hands in a bipartisan fashion to cap this interest rate at a more reasonable 421% per year."
Says Davis: 'Look to see a joint announcement shortly from Jim Carrey, Warren Buffett and I as we join hands with Sarah Jessica Parker to fight what Warren calls 'encroaching economic serfdom' in America."
In other news, Congresswoman Davis recently released details of Project D-LETE, a legislative proposal to increase penetration and consumption of American D-List celebrities in Third World nations worldwide, to an enthusiastic crowd at the recent "Golden Globes Awards" in Hollywood. Davis has also been involved recently in a heated intellectual property dispute with actress Amy Sedaris over a nude drawing on Page 139 of Sedaris' New York Times best-selling cookbook, "I Like You." http://youtube.com/watch?v=s7gOtF2Ct68
Prior to responding to the call of democracy, Congresswoman Davis was a star of stage and screen, appearing with show business luminaries such as Helen Hunt, Amy Sedaris, Nathan Lane, Bette Midler, Kristin Davis, Leslie Kritzer, Kirsten Johnson, Adam Shankman, Frank Rich, Woody Allen, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Krakowski, Megan Mullally, Paul Dinello, Martin Short and Susan Sarandon. Davis, known widely as the "face behind the Pashmina" for her role in successfully launching that foreign garment into closets of Middle America, skyrocketed to fame in the 1990's with her lively rock-anthem "Baby Dance," which reached No. 4 on the Billboard pop charts. Davis was appointed to her Congressional seat late last year after the tragic death of her husband and was re-elected this November by a "slim but substantial majority." Prior to leaving show business to represent her Congressional district, Davis also played the role of Penny Pingleton in numerous regional performances of "Hairspray."

Well Jake, that scares the hell right out of me! Are you saying ALL women should be barred from politics or are you saying we are under the most horrible police state ever invented? Is this our future? If it is, I hope someone nukes us real soon!
