BOB McEWEN AT RIVER OF LIFE Sunday
Bob McEwen is known for his spectacular talent at communicating
complicated issues
in an easy to understand manner. An economics major and six-term
Member of the United
States Congress, Bob explains the part that Liberty plays in
understanding why some nations
are rich and some nations are poor. His interesting presentations sprinkled
with humor empower
interested citizens to make the decisions that bring prosperity to a family, a
state or a nation.
Congress Bob McEwen is Senior Advisor with the nationally recognized law firm of
Greenebaum,
Doll & McDonald. As such he maintains offices in Cincinnati and Washington,
DC. An Ohio native,
Bob McEwen represented Ohio in the United States House of Representatives
for six terms. Prior to his
Congressional service, he operated a successful Ohio Real Estate and Development
firm as well as serving
three terms in the Ohio General Assembly as the Senior Republican on the
Financial Institutions and Insurance
Committee. Rep. McEwen served as Chairman of the Environmental Affairs
task force of the United States
delegation to the European Parliament. McEwen was selected by the Democratic
leadership of the U.S.
Congress as the chief spokesman for the United States in discussions with
European Green Party and other
Environmental Organizations. In 2005, McEwen and two others, Members of
Congress, hosted the third conference
of Balkan Prime Ministers for the purpose of facilitating dialogue and reconciliation
in that troubled region of the world.
On August 23, 1989, Congressman McEwen and United States Senator Robert Dole
participated as United States
observers in Warsaw, Poland to the first ever Parliamentary election of a
non-Communist leader of a Soviet bloc
country. Hours later, the new Prime Minister, in his first official act, received the
Congressman and Senator
prior to meeting with the Soviet representatives of the regime that had occupied
that nation for fifty years.
This action was the spark that encouraged the collapse of Soviet dominated governments
throughout
Eastern Europe culminating in the destruction of the Berlin Wall ten weeks later.
Senator Dole and Rep.
McEwen met the following day with the President and U.S. National Security team in
Kennebunkport, Maine to
fashion the United States response and position in support of Warsaw Pact nations seeking
to break away from
Soviet domination. Representative McEwen served as an official United States observer in
Moscow during both the
1991 Soviet Coup attempt and to the Kremlin in January of 1992 when the Soviet Union
was dissolved. Mr. McEwen
was elected by his colleagues to the two most coveted positions in the U. S. Congress;
the Select Committee
on Intelligence which oversees all of our nation’s secrets, and the powerful House
Committee on Rules which
has jurisdiction over all legislation in the Congress. As one of only four Republicans
on the thirteen member Rules
Committee, Mr. McEwen managed nearly one-third of all legislation on the House floor
for the Republican side of the
Congressional aisle. McEwen legislation approved by the Congress included the National
Strategy Act that realigned
the chain of command during times of hostilities, directly from the Theater Commander
to the National Command
Authority in Washington. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and General Norman
Schwarzkopf have credited this
change with playing a major role in the success of Operation Desert Storm. He was
selected by Administration
and Congressional leaders to floor manage such critical national security legislation
as the B-2 bomber
authorization, the nuclear freeze debate, and to give the closing arguments before
the vote to authorize
military action by the United States in Desert Storm. Mr. McEwen has often been
selected as negotiator to
bring resolution to Senate/House conference committee impasses on dozens of
pieces of legislation,
particularly affecting Public Works, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and
International Relations. Public
Speaking An outstanding communicator, Mr. McEwen is a leading advocate
for pro-family interests and
free-market economics. As such, he maintains an active international speaking
schedule. www.bobmcewen.com
