Thank you.

to know that MY congressman is doing the right thing ALWAYS by HIS constituents....Robert Wexler-I love him he's a great democrat

to know that MY congressman is doing the wrong thing. Dave Weldon-idiot Republican. But I repeat myself.

ETA: That doesn't mean I won't register my preferences with his office -- just that I fully expect his typical "we must support the president in time of war" response.

.... and for the record, economic justice is the overriding reason I am a Democrat. Of late, the party has let the working classes and poor down in a big way. We all have to do better.

for explanation. It was in the House version but not the Senate version of the budget bill.

If it is still there in the reconciliation bill, it's the end of our national public lands. They will be sold off for practically nothing to be ravaged or developed as the buyer (perhaps a foreign corporation) wishes, and there would be no royalties or taxes paid on oil or minerals removed from it or requirements for care.

Pombo is a corrupt Rep from CA, one of the ones in the Cunningham corruption ring.

to do in campaigns to show them for what they are. The majority of people in this country have no idea how close they came to succeeding with this terrible scheme. Let's use it in campaigning. Pombo introduced it at th last minute into the the House version of the bill, naturally without public hearings. It PASSED the House - the House Rethugs voted for it. Let's hold them accountable for this treachery.

And then, of course, there are the OTHER terrible things about the budget bill...

are so high, these corrupt and treacherous Reps will keep trying to cash in on OUR public lands and everything else they can get their filthy, greedy hands on until they are indicted or expelled from office.

This whole plan of theirs needs to be publicized and used as part of a campaign to show what they really are to the voters who have no idea of their corruption. Pombo is on Cunningham's list and has a history of extreme anti-environmentalism, opposing protections for wildlife and everything else that might interfere with massive profits for his "clients."

Yes, they will try again. They almost got away with it THIS time. I don't know how much of a difference the weeks of pushing here at DU to get the word out to Reps and especially Senators made, but I did get a PM from one DUer who said that his Rep claimed to have no idea that the Pombo rider had been inserted into the House bill and seemed to be upset about it. Part of their strategy - as with the Patriot Act - is to stuff these things into unrelated huge pieces of legislation or delay availability of the texts of huge bills so that they cannot be fully read. There was outright secrecy surrounding the insertion of the Pombo rider into the House budget bill at the last minute.

done, passed along, kicked and recomended!

Done
