Maria Cantwell (D-WA) ignores the commoners

[Robert Oak]

A great review of a grassroots activist trying to get Cantwell to pay any attention the constituents.

full post: "Jobs for Us, Jobs for Our Kids" - a Close Encounter of the Senator Cantwell Kind

From what I observe of Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), she is a recluse to the middle and lower classes. I have never seen her do a "town hall meeting" like Congressman Jay Inslee frequently does. I also find that when she visits a city within Washington State, she is more likely to be visiting with the Chamber of Commerce than a local labor council

What are the representatives for if they are not representing their real constituents? A true Progressive experienced this so I think it's worth the read.

3. She is beholding to her corporate sponsors that bailed her out of debt when she first ran for

election.
