Why won't Lampson answer questions on where he stands on the issues?

Want to know where Nick Lampson stands on the issues?

So does Project Vote Smart-- a completely independent, bi-partisan effort supported by key national leaders of both major parties including: John McCain, Republican Senatorl Geraldine Ferraro, Former Democratic Congresswoman; Michael Dukakis, Former Democratic Governor; Bill Frenzel, Former Republican Congressman; and more than 100 news organizations throughout the nation. Their aim is to make it easy for average joe schmo citizens to be able to figure out where a candidate for office stands on issue important to them.

But Tricky Nick has repeatedly refused to provide any responses to citizens on issues through the 2006 National Political Courage Test. Why? Could it be that he doesn't want to put anything in writing that could be campared to his liberal historical voting record from 1996? He did respond back then and his answers are on-line for your perusal here (scroll down a bit).

Pay particular attention to his stands on spending. In 1996 Nick wanted to increase spending, fees and taxes on just about everything but defense, which he would "greatly decrease."

Want to have some fun? Call Nick at 281-488-4922 and ask them why he won't take the Political Courage Test for 2006. Let us know by posting here what they have to say.

Keep following the money....
PVS does have an up-to-date and comprehensive snapshot on where Nick's money is coming from, check this out. You'll see that most of his bribes.. er campaign donations.. are coming from Houston (almost none from Fort Bend County). It's also coming overwhelmingly from lawyers, lobbyist and labor (Oh my!); and liberal PACS.
