“A few months ago, I was proud to give my constituents the unique opportunity to have their legislative idea introduced in Congress.
“Thousands of fellow 6th District residents wrote in with their solutions to national and local issues.
“I want to thank everyone who took the time to send me their ideas and wish congratulations to the three finalists.
“Please take the time to tell me which of the three solutions you support and why.”
Very truly yours,
Peter J. Roskam

Top 3 Finalists
Topic: Energy Conservation
Submitted by: James Drechsel, Lombard, IL
Idea: Energy deduction for companies that provide the ability for their employees to recharge their electric vehicle or electric hybrids at work
Topic: Illegal Immigration and Federal Funding
Submitted by: Martin Wezeman, Elmhurst, IL
Legislation: To prohibit federal non-emergency/local law enforcement funds from going to municipalities that prohibit their officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers.
Topic: Health Insurance
Submitted by: Joanne Giovenco, Schaumburg, IL
Idea: Help Americans who pay for their own health insurance deduct more from their taxes by eliminating the 7.5% AGI hurdle to allow for the whole cost of her health insurance to be deducted whether they itemize their taxes or not.
