Are you happy with your representative and senators in Congress? |
|
If not, do you have a plan to do something about it?
if so, what?
If not, why not?

I would like to hear some ideas from people who are trying to unseat someone they don't like.
I have heard that a lot of people in Austin are pretty sane.
How insane is it in your area?

I like one senator (Boxer) and I voted against the other (Feinstein) in her last primary. I was happy with my Congresswoman until she voted for this debt deal. She's better than most tho.

Any ideas about who might be willing to run for Feinstein's seat.
Who is your Congresswoman?

10. Fuck, I'd vote for a Javilina before I'd vote for Fienstien/Lieberman. |
|
She really needs to be tossed out just because she represents the million/billionare class that is fucking this country!

5. I moved from Zoe Lofgren's district to Gabby Gifford's district. |
|
What would you like me to do? For all intents, I don't have a rep right now and even if I did, Gabby tends toward Blue dog and the chances of defeating her in the next election are nill. For what it's worth, Zoe wasn't much better. She never had much to say about anything and I don't expect Gabby to have much to say either.
I will do what I can for Rauel because at least he represents my values.

8. That's just fucking wrong! Although typical of Republicans. |

How do these sick motherfuckers keep getting elected?

9. You've got to be kidding. I'm serious, though. |
|
Any ideas for some good candidates that we could introduce to the public?

11. No, not a one of them. |
|
Lisa Murkowski, while appearing moderate, is corrupt to the core. Mark Begich is an oil-sucking Dem, with whom I am very disappointed. He's running to the middle as fast as he can go, as if the Republicans here will EVER vote for him.
Don Young is just a joke.

13. Lets face it! We need some new blood out here |
|
The same ol same ol is just more of the same. The di fies, the Boxers, the lofgrens etc. have been in power for ages. Has anything gotten better? Hell no! Time to throw them out (those millionhairs and billionairs) and elect some real people to the job!.

17. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Sen. Patty Murray(D-WA), and Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA9) |
|
Yep, I'm happy with them.
Voted for Murray and Smith in 2010.
Will vote for Cantwell and Smith in 2012.
My Congressman does cause me to slow down sometimes. Whenever I hear someone mention Adam Smith in almost any context, I have to sometimes ask, "Which one?"

hastert gave our city around 2 million then our district voted in democrat foster . foster got around 4+ million million for my city. then they voted him out and now we have another republican that has`t given us a penny.
it`s all about the pork so in my district it`s democrat-4+ million in two years and republicans 2 million over 6 years. republican voters are idiots

21. You are lucky! We are pretty lucky in California too, although |
|
I would like to see a more liberal replacement for Feinstein. There are many worse than she, but I would like to see a more progressive person representing California in the Senate.
