Because of this and this and the video below, I sent this email to my Congressman, Bobby Jindal yesterday.
I’ve read on several conservative blogs that the Democrats are basically attempting to bribe you to vote against the war in exchange for Katrina aid which we already deserve and should have. Get the aid for us the right way – not as a bribe, but in recognition to our value to the country, and in recognition of the Corps’ malfeasance.
Although President Bush says he’ll veto the bill, he’s said a lot of things that he has not come through on and he cannot be trusted. PLEASE do not allow us to be defeated in Iraq. PLEASE do not endorse these filthy tactics and allow yourself to be bribed. It is despicable and shameful that the Democrats are behaving this way and this tactic should be exposed for what it is – a desperate attempt to stop the surge and ensure our defeat.
I have been a long time supporter, and for whatever it’s worth, authorized your gubernatorial campaign to use my name. I have always believed you are an honest and honorable man. Please don’t disappoint me.
Sincerely,
Laura Curtis
So much for ethics, Ms. Pelosi. If you truly had a mandate to stop the war (i.e. “surrender”) then you’d have the votes. But the fact is, you don’t have it, and this attempt is very revealing – all the things Democrats accuse Republicans of doing. (Sometimes with justification, as in this sneaky provision to make it easier to enforce martial law – which you didn’t have time to stop because you’re busy undermining the man your party just sent to lead the surge.)
Find out if your congressman is being bribed and contact him/her to show your disapproval.
hiya..I heard about this alot on talk radio
shame on them!..great read ..thank u.
Yes, my congressman (Melancon) was bribed !!!
Check out the statement on his web site. You would not even know that the real vote was for the suplemental military money. You would think the bill was all about Katrina and Rita.
