Hi John, That is not good to have someone like you described as your congressman. We have two Republican senators that usually don't vote against the cuts, all but one of them is a cosponsor and a Republican who seems to. I don't watch the vote's that closely except the votes that are more important. I feel it is good to call even if others don't think it is. I also get notices from a group fighting against illegal aliens that provides letters and faxes them to Congressman. I don't know how many of us do call. Dana
I'm in Ohio where a guy named chabot is my congressman. He would vote to eliminate life support for his mother with a toothache. My senators and governor do believe in improving the health care system. If you ranked politicians by seating them from left to right, chabot would be just to the right of Hitler. The only reason we get Medicaid funds here is because he will take any money Uncle Sam will give him. when he was first elected, I had a picture of a big dog eating what hit the floor, but with time, my mental image of him is more of a vulture preying on the weak. It totally creeps me out to hear him discuss gutting all those leftist 60's medical policies. john P.S. thanks for reminding me its time to call 'em all. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 12:44:21 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] Re: States with NO CCA co-sponsors, August visits Does your state has a cosponsor?
