Questions for the Congressman:

#1a. Where are you on health care?

#1b. Will you support a public option or market reforms or the status quo or something else?

#2. Considering EW’s report on the GI Study in today’s newspaper of yet another year of underfunding and underappreciation of the Skagit River Flood Risk, what is it going to take to fully fund the Corps involvement in the Skagit River Flood Risk?

Thanks Ellie!

Me next..
Perhaps the congressman could ask Obama, when he gets done with his basketball game, what he is going to do about helping the troops in Afghanstan, I know it seems trivial when there is a basketball game to be played but I believe people may be dying over there.

Jo - You beat me to it by 20 minutes. I wonder if we had any soldiers killed during the game? How about this for a protest sign: 

“Obama shot hoops, America lost troops!”

It has a ring to it. Maybe I’ll make up a sign for next Sunday.

Am I alone when I say that this game would be awful to watch. For one no one can dunk unless they lowered the hoop.  For me it’s no big deal if they play a game You do know they have meetings throughout the day where they talk about issues. In fact we could all use 2 hours of exercise after a long day.

I may have beat you but I have to hand it to you its a great comment :)
That would be a great protest sign, better make it since we are probably going to need it!

Oh, when they talk about issues? Like maybe when they are going to spend their next trillion? Or perhaps when they are going to talk about the 826 billion dollar healthcare bill? But, of course, there will be no new taxes, right??

Jo, did you care as much when Bush spent hundreds of days clearing brush instead of doing his job?  Did you care when he DOUBLED the national debt in less than eight years?  Probably not.

I HATE BUSH!!!!!!!! Is that clear enough for you? Never liked him or his father, didn’t vote for him, wish he was never in office. Obama is spending us into the toilet and the left says “what about Bush”? Well what about him?? Its wrong for both of them! People immediatly “assume” that if you don’t like Obama then you “must” like Bush, what a crock! Both Bush and Obama are worthless as presidents. If you remember correctly Bush’s popularity ratings were in the toilet at the end of his second term so there wasn’t a whole lot of people standing behind him anymore.

Yet you blame Obama for problems created during the Bush administration.  You’re clearly hedging your bets, rewriting history, or maybe just hanging out in the cheap seats.  In any case, you’re being disingenuous.

I wonder if we had any soldiers killed during the game?

Oh really?  Where you outside Crawford Texas for the MONTHS of vacation Bush took each year?  Did you stand up with Code Pink to get Bush to withdraw troops after NO WMDs were found and Saddam was dead?  How about when the cover-up over the death of Pat Tillman was exposed or the fact that Bush recalled troops when they had Osama bin Laden trapped in Tora Bora in December 2001?

NOW you’ve found your voice?  How convenient.
