Congressman Chris Gibson says he represents all the citizens of New York's 20th District. At a Town Hall in Millerton, NY, on August 23, 2011, several of his constituents challenge him effectively on this point. Gibson has voted with the extreme right wing Republicans since he was elected last year. He was among those who held hostage the good credit of the United States, to preserve low tax rates for the very wealthy. He also voted to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from doing anything to limit the greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. Gibson signed the Grover Norquist pledge to not raise tax rates on billionaires, no matter how dire our fiscal circumstances. Does he represent you? Call him: 202 225 5614.

that going to hurt.

Republicans out there !

This reaction from the electorate should give Democrats a serious political advantage leading into 2012. Why the Democratic party refuses to tap into this outrage is a mystery to me. Republicans have painted themselves into a corner and Democrats are bringing out fans to dry the damn paint.
