The House has overwhelmingly passed a $146 billion stimulus package that would speed rebates to most taxpayers. The plan was approved 385-35, after little debate.
It would send rebates of between $600 and $1,200 to anyone with at least $3,000 in income. Congressional leaders want to send the measure to President Bush by Feb. 15, but the bill faces a murky future in the Senate.

Chet Edwards is a fiscal conservative who believes the federal government can best stimulate local economies with sound fiscal policies that lower the national debt and eliminate huge annual deficits.
As one of only a handful of Members to serve on both the Appropriations and Budget Committees, Chet has worked hard for local businesses and worked to bring more jobs and opportunity to Central Texans.
For his efforts to strengthen our economy and support small business, Chet was awarded the U.S. Chamber of Commerce “Spirit of Enterprise” Award for the past five years.
- Chet is a co-sponsor of a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment and supports a “pay as you go” rule for the federal budget that requires a dollar cut for every dollar of new spending.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business Endorse Edwards
WACO - Congressman Chet Edwards officially received the endorsement of both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) today. Both groups are national grassroots business organizations with numerous local members who based their endorsements on Edwards’ proven pro-business record in Congress and the 17th District.
The endorsements represent a blow to the Van Taylor campaign since both nonpartisan organizations generally endorse Republicans, including Arlene Wohlgemuth in 2004.
