Going to see Ernst rep this afternoon.

She sends her reps out around the state to do her version of the 99 county tour. Pathetic.
I like to go to piss them off. Want to light her up on Republican obstruction.

Here is the schedule - sorry I am so late with it.

His job was to basically deflect criticism and take requests for action from people.
5 people there including us. One guy who had few facts and wouldn't shut up.
He complained about the speed limit, the cost of land lines, how "certain people" spent there money, Illinois, and how the "gummint" screwed up agriculture by forcing farmers to grow corn for ethanol.

I couldn't take anymore and left
