Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck said AP's findings represented a member of Congress helping people in his district. "Part of being a congressman is vouching for constituents and helping them navigate the federal bureaucracy when asked," he said. Among the ways Ryan went to bat for his constituents, as detailed in his correspondence: —A Kenosha, Wis., community centre's grant proposal under the Food Stamps Access Research program, to educate families about the nutritional benefits of food stamps. Ryan said in a 2002 letter the program would increase the enrolment of eligible individuals in the program by providing laptop computers to pre-screen applicants. Ryan's budget proposed cutting food stamps by $134 billion over 10 years, although his spokesman said he "has always made clear we need a strong safety net."

—Letters offering support or forwarding requests for projects funded by stimulus money. Ryan's May 2009 letter to a regional Environmental Protection Agency office asked for its "full consideration" in awarding grant money to an organization under the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program, which reduces diesel emissions.

Ryan also wrote to the EPA in 2009 on behalf of a small town trying to secure $550,000 in stimulus money for utility repairs. Ryan, whose staff requested meetings with the EPA about the matter, said the rescinding of the grant "would be economically devastating" to Sharon, Wis., since it already began spending the money. (The EPA said project costs were incurred before October 2008, making the project ineligible for stimulus cash.) Ryan has also voiced support for millions in EPA grant money to clean up abandoned building sites in Wisconsin towns.

—A 2002 Department of Agriculture loan guarantee to develop a pork-packing and processing plant for farms in the region, including some in his district. The new factory appeared to be "state of the art" and worthy of funding, he said, adding: "It is my hope that the USDA will reach a favourable decision" on the application for a 60 per cent federal loan guarantee toward a $19.7 million loan.

—A Kenosha health centre's request to use money under Obama's new health care law to help meet health care needs of "thousands of new patients" who lack coverage. Ryan's December 2010 letter to the Department of Health and Human Services, first reported by the Nation magazine and also obtained by the AP, appears at odds with his pledge to repeal "Obamacare."

—Support for a grant for the Historical Society in Milton, Wis., from the National Park Service for $271,000 in order to preserve a Civil War-era home. Ryan supported the plan in 2002, saying historical artifacts inside the former transfer point for slaves "have aged to a point where aggressive preservation and restoration is needed to save them." Meanwhile, he's supported recent cuts to the federal budget that would invariably affect national parks.

The AP obtained requested documents from nearly every executive branch agency, although many have been slow to provide any relevant files. Some Obama administration agencies declined AP's request to quickly turn over materials even though they involve an election that's just weeks away.

the forums contain nothing except something not worth chatting on...why not focus on here...is it because u are risk averse...but even u bet on the wrong thing, u have nothing to lose here...haha

oh, yes, obama will win. The guy, romey, plans to avoid taxes levied by way of cuts rates on investment income and capital gains...A new round gambling or speculation would emerge and we would see an continual loopholes downthere....

obamas energy policy. edu policy gonna have america take the lead in the long run . to work with china rather than lable or scold it is the right approach for a leader who believe itself has the previlege to take the lead. romey obviously with the closed mind is inclined to shift to regional protectionism for fear of facing the facts that its a global thing in view of rising power ...creating jobs n supporting small biz by way of tax credits for jobs being back to shores is a wise approach. its not like what romney says that cut rates no matther whether its income or gains.. no way things work well that way mathemativally...the result is that the rich is still richer.. n the workink class is even worse...obama performs much much better which can been seen fr the confidence based on the practice n experience. im a fraide obama will win...

GUEST6893	Obama and Romney have one thing in common. They both think China is responsible for the unemployment in the USA.Really? As a leader, if he can't manage his country and solve the problem, he is just an incapble leader. It's useless to blame others.

The issues have no short term therapies but have inertia. Obama have been practicing rebuilding from the bottom like edu, new energy, tax reform (mere rate cuts not workable), healthcare that is becoming more affordable thru cutting the middlemen...It's a medium and long term building, just give him time or another term...even though i am not american , i am working poor and we don't want to see pure buisness men admin the nation... The date is approaching, anything could happen coz to both of them, it's kind of gambling...
