Guest Post by Ray Cardello
I received Representative Porter’s Healthcare Reform mailing yesterday and I do not know if I am more insulted with its purpose or the fact that she clearly indicated on the piece that it was prepared and sent at the taxpayer’s expense.
I sent her at least three requests for a personal meeting during the summer recess and never received one response. She was asked by the residents of New Hampshire to schedule Town Hall Meetings and she held support groupsessions. It is now October and she sends out a request for feedback. Ms. Porter, it is clear from your actions and your voting record, along with your lack of response to hear from your constituents this summer, that you really do not care what we think and you will vote whatever way Speaker Pelosi wants you to, for that is how to secure your seat in the House. After all, isn’t that what American politics has come to– staying elected?
Stop patronizing and start representing. That is what the people that voted for you want and what those of us that did not deserve. You are a representative–and employee–of the people. Start listening, for we will not stop speaking.
