Nancy Pelosi Chooses Reyes
Nancy Pelosi's choice for house intelligence committee chairman, Silvestre Reyes.
"I always look back and am amused," Reyes said, recalling his school days. "I was tagged as (one day) being a chicken farmer (and) a high school counselor said I was good with my hands and could be a welder."
(It is said a counselor suggested to Malcolm X that he choose a career that entailed being good with his hands. Once my oldest daughter, when 17, somehow had an ITT rep come to the house to pitch the idea of a "career in technology" after training with ITT Technical Institute. Her brothers and I listened from the top of the stairs and when the salesman asked my daughter if she was good with her hands we rolled on the floor choking, laughing, and whispering that the girl couldn't pick up a broom or boil water and we were certain she had no manual dexterity. Fortunately, today she's executive director of a not-for-profit NGO, look ma – no hands.)
Rep. Reyes "repeatedly refused to provide any responses to citizens on issues through the 2006 national political awareness test when asked to do so" by the folks over at Project Vote Smart.
Reyes made only a Final Score of 50/135 or 37% over at The Peace Majority site.
And, then there's that thing with his kids. Rebecca Reyes' rise in the corporate world of security contractors. It might just be coincidence but the manager of the border security project was Rebecca Reyes, who is now director of policy, procedures and administration at L-3 subsidiary, MPRI." And daddy does vote "yes" on those Homeland Security Appropriations Acts along with the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act.
(L-3 gobbled Titan now known as L-3 Titan Group.)
Silvestre Jr., was also hired to work as a technician. I wonder if he graduated ITT. There may be a Texas political career in junior's future.

hey how come his son Silvestre Jr. runs such a horrible work place, he owes money to people,i have just found out that his truck fabrication company it really hitting dirt, all his employees pay checks have bounced, another company that inspects his trucks once finished check has bounced and they will not release the trucks now, wont the ones who have already paid for the trucks be glad to hear that they cannot get their trucks, now, he does not pay into Workers Comp. - when his employees get hurt he tells them not to say they were hurt in work, just to pay the bill and he will re-imburse them????? COME ON- THIS IS NOT RIGHT, WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP SILVESTRE JR IS, AND HIS FATHER SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIM.
THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW THIS- WATCH OUT - MAY BE HIS DAD CAN BAIL THIS WORK PLACE OUT - GIVE THE CONTRACT TO HIS DAUGHTER. HA HA
