Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) gets the Awesome Senator Award for the month of June.

For two great reasons…

ONE: He has introduced legislation that would require the treasury to distribute stock in GM and Chrysler to the taxpayers. Its the Auto Stock for Every Taxpayer Act!!

“Instead of the Treasury owning 60 percent of shares in the new GM and 8 percent of Chrysler, you would own them, if you were one of about 120 million individuals who paid taxes on April 15,” Alexander explained. “This is the fastest way to get the stock out of the hands of Washington and back into the hands of the American people in the marketplace where it belongs. The stock certificates would be in your name, not that of your government.”

TWO: He is giving out “Car Czar” Award’s! These awards are given to people “who distinguish themselves by making it harder for the auto companies your government owns to compete in the world market place”.

In a speech on the Senate floor he gave the first award to Barney Frank.  Check out  the video to see the speech.
