Representative Joe Walsh is a Tea Party Republican in the House of Representatives. He makes about $170,000.00 a year. He also contributed $35,000.00 to his campaign. It should also be mentioned that he took his Girlfriend in multiple trips to other countries, buying her expensive gifts. He claims to care about his children and grandchildren going bankrupt. While doing all of this, Representative Walsh's children were going without needed medicines, good education, and many other things. Joe the Welch refused to pay his child support for his 3 children. He owes over $117,000.00 in back child support. I understand that not everyone can afford to pay the exuberant amounts that some Family Courts order. Joe the Welch is not one of those. In lieu of paying child support, Joe the Welch lived it up. While Joe the Welch has been in Congress, he has demanded that Americans give up important Social Safety Nets that help the Economy. This is in the same mindset that his kids should fend for themselves. This attitude is keeping his children and the US Economy at a stale state of affairs. His children aren't asking for a "Nanny State", just that Joe the Welch pay what he owes, much like people on Social Security and Medicare are asking the Government to do. This type of attitude is the same type that thinks that we, as a people, aren't capable of doing Great Things. It's hurting not only his family, but the US as a whole. I am starting this petition because I don't believe a person in his prominent position as Chairman Of Finance in the House of Representatives should be allowed to maintain his position or be in Congress if he cannot even get his own Financial House in order. As the Chairman of the Finance committee, he is directly responsible for bringing the Economy into a better state of affairs than he found it. If he is not capable of even supporting his own children, we cannot, in actuality, expect Joe the Welch to ever be capable of helping to balance the budget in any matter. Would you please join me in telling Joe The Welch that he is not welcome in the House of Representatives because he is a DEAD BEAT DAD? Please sign this petition with me. Thank you for considering it. Dr. Richard Paul, DD
