My rep (Upton) sent me a message today

The uncle of Kate Upton, the Playboy Model, sent me a message today. He told me he was holding fast on the Shutdown because it was the right thing for his constituants. He also said, the next step would be to "Reform Entitlements". This from a Rep. who is from a mostly rural, older population, high unemployment district. WTF!!! Are any of them doing anything for the people they represent??????

P.S. But he is Chairman of the Energy Committee. Guess he's listening to those folks these days.
