I grabbed the arm of my Congressional Representative (Bill Pascrell) (D-NJ)

at the Sandy Hook Vigil this afternoon when he was leaving. He made an impassioned speech against concealed weapons being allowed across state lines.

I asked, begged him to go in front of the House tomorrow before the vote, make another speech with all the facts why the tax "reform" bill would ruin the lives of the middle class and the poor -- just to get it into the Congressional Record. He was very sympathetic and I hope he'll follow through.

as I'm sure you know. It would be great if both he and Pascrell would deliver a speech on the tax scam.

Of Indivisible and NJ Action in the 7th. I never get allowed into the 'town halls'. I'm on Do Not Admit and that makes me proud of myself!

But - for that mealy mouthed wimp to verbally stand up in front of his peers and deliver a verbal ass whoopin' . . . Not gonna happen.

I still called DC, Flemington, and Westfield this morning though!
