So I set up a meeting with my Representative for this coming Friday. I used Obama's propaganda team's clout to get the meeting so we will see when they follow up with me to confirm. This is supposed to be to relay my support for socialized healthcare and they even sent me an itemized list of talking points but I accidentally closed the window before I DL'd it. Either way, I am sure I wont agree with it.
Instead I plan to mention my absolute opposition to this bill. I also plan to make my feelings known about Geithner's proposal to raise the debt limit. I figure that if the average American family should be forced to reduce spending when they lose income, the federal govt should do the same. For my wife, I plan to ask about getting pork money into this area for animal welfare programs such as spay and neuter campaigns.
I was wondering if anyone else from District 11 has any issues they would like to bring up with the Congressman. If you do, please post up or PM me. I will give you my email addy for you to send me a rundown of what you want. I will not limit this to republican or democrat. You write it, I will give it to him, regardless of my personal feelings on the subject. I only ask that you include your full name, address, and a way to contact you, whether it be phone or email.
BTW, if you do write something, please make it look at least partly intelligent and informed. Your cause will simply be ignored if his staff is forced to read 3 pages of misspellings, sentence fragments, and disjointed thoughts.
