I'm so embarrassed by my congressman

I’m in Pennsylvania district 14, which could not have been designed any redder. Reschenthaler ran unopposed. I don’t care how red this district is, we must put up a candidate to at least give this moron a hard time.

I get long, disgusting propaganda emails from mine once a month. I have replied a few times, countering each point, yet get no reply.

I would get emails from him and mailers. The mailers I would put RETURN TO SENDER. The emails I would UNSUBSCRIBE. But on Hagedorn's official Congressional Facebook page, I would be civil and on topic giving the correct facts to his blatant lies. If this Rep. has a Facebook page, comment civilly and present facts. He can do one of two things, delete your comments or allow them.

Same bullshit, different Rep. All this correspondence did was attack, blame, while offering NO Solutions.

is much an improvement. Good luck; keep up the good work if he has a Facebook page - that's the right way to do it. Omar is my rep. Sometimes she makes me cringe but when she's on she's really on.

I have met Dean Phillips a few times. Smart guy and very down to earth.

When still living in Rochester, I was a State DFL Delegate in 2018 and 2022. He and the rest of the Congressional Delegation was there. Ilhan Omar gave rousing speeches to standing ovations. As did all the State DFLers from Tim Walz on down.

If you research State DFL May 2022 convention photos, you might find one of me in my Red Hat with the Paul Wellstone button from 2002. I made the front Page on the Star-Tribune that Saturday morning May 21st. I had no idea that was going to happen. The ST photographer asked me my name, why I was a Delegate, and could he take my picture.

Of course that could change if they continue to hold the debt ceiling hostage to their ridiculous demands.
If they crash the government, then they can claim that as an accomplishment.
In which case they will have done more in 6 months than all previous Congressional sessions combined...more to drive the nation, and the world, into a depression.
Will they claim responsibility for that astounding feat of legislative and political incompetence?
Probably not. They'll rant about how the Democrats caused it all.
And their base will believe them!

So they delivered a strong economy in two months. If they weren’t so dangerous, it would be laughable.

Don’t feel bad. I’m in Ohio. We just elected a Trump ass kisser to the Senate when we could have had Tim Ryan.

That fool is our rep, too. What does he ever do that is constructive? All Guy does is spout his Republican talking points. Can't stand the sight of him.
