My Congressman (R) called me at home because he didn't like my LTTE.

3. Not your responsibility to "set the record straight". Let him write his

own letter to the editor. Unfortunately, they didn't assign any oversite from what I've read so he may have a point but, again, not your problem!!

[AllegroRondo]

5. Actually, Dems wanted some oversight / accountability

in this bill, but they were not allowed to bring any amendments.

[OregonBlue]

8. You're right. I do remember some Dems complaining that they

were not allowed to offer amendments. Done on proceedural vote.

[Rose Siding]

9. Which ended up making all the yes votes political

They were boxed into handing $51 billion over to the bushbots and giving up their constitutional responsibility of oversight.

All that's left for them now is to call for investigations of the corruption that is already occuring.

It isn't hard to believe that some of those repubs were heartless, but if they voted no for the right reason, maybe they'll be able to make that clear. It is certainly inappropriate for a govt official to call a private citizen who disagrees with them.

If every single dem had voted no -offered an alternate plan, maybe with even more money- it might have gained enough press for the reason to get some press. As it is, the whole thing is a sham- and one big slush fund for the executive branch.

KBR profits will skyrocket long before any NO residents receive money to relocate or to go home.

14. I agree, dems should have stood up and those 11 repugs would

probably have gone along.

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Have you called the local police?

Sounds like you have a stalker.

Should we all call this goon's office and ask why he is stalking people who write letters to the editor?

[Kire]

7. Interesting

I'm not above legal action, but the local police? You think?

[sepia_steel]

10. now THAT is creepy and sad

that he doesn't want his family to think he's heartless. What a very telling thing to say. What the hell?

12. Kick

[KingFlorez]

13. Annoying people at home

That's real proper conduct for a Congressman. This must be Rove's new strategy, harass the constituents who criticize you.
