Congressman John Sullivan Describes Obamacare

Congressman Sullivan meets with constituents at the Summit Club in Tulsa, OK to bring an update on Congressional bills and helth care.

The Obama administration has appointed 44 Czars whereas Clinton, Bush I and II, and Reagan averaged three and four czars during their terms.  Sullivan spoke in support of natural gas as a fuel source stating that the United States has a 120 year supply of natural gas.

Another topic of discussion was the Fair Tax.  Sullivan was an original co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill.  He expects the next 5-10 years will possibly produce a substantial change in our tax system.  Due, in part, to the enormous grass roots movement for this change.

Tulsa, Oklahoma area homeowners are looking at ways to enhance their
property values at a time when moving is not the best option for
everyone. Local real estate broker, real estate investor, and property
manager, Darryl Baskin, says many homeowners are using the "improve
don't move" philosophy and choosing to remodel their homes instead.
"This is a great time to buy a new home if you're looking to get a
larger home or if you are a first time home buyer, but for some people
moving is not the best option right now." says Baskin. local
retailers are pushing new products and ideas to these property owners
eager for a change in the look and style of their home.

"Green" building options are one of the most popular choices for
remodeling today. A local wholesale outlet, ProSource Flooring
Supply, says contractors are requesting more products that are
natural and considered renewable sources. Space "ProSource has
introduced 59 new styles of hardwood flooring this year alone which
includes a Green Select line of products," Says Jim Ecrette, ProSource
Tulsa manager. These products look good and are better for your
family. Baskin has offered his contractor pricing to many of his
clients and friends and notes a higher demand than in the past.
