HEALTHCARE REFORM CRUNCH TIME
My local Congressional Representative is Suzanne Kosmas (D), who voted ‘no’ last time on the House healthcare reform bill. Her website lists 3 offices with a telephone number and fax line at each location. This morning, I called each office and spoke with a staffer and sent a letter to each fax line, making myself absolutely clear that this is the ONE VOTE that will determine whether or not I support Kosmas in November. Lets just say, I was very determined to make my voice heard ... and let her know that, if she disappoints me twice, I will do everything possible to insure her defeat in November.
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's because of people like her that I feel totally bemused by arguments that we are still functioning within a two party system. If she represents the democratic party . . . then what party do other democrats belong to? Divisions within both parties run SO DEEP today that it is completely inaccurate, I think, to keep thinking of our system as being "two-party" anywhere but on paper.
If I lived in your district, Octo - she would not get my vote.
