So... looks like Bean

[Bjornsdotter]

...is going to let us down again on the escalation vote.

Her office can't comment, that's their official statement.

Thanks Melissa, again, for nothing.


Of course I hope I'm wrong and she votes against it.

Cheers

1. Wish I had a nickel for everytime I got to say Bean and Disappointed in the same sentence.

I seriously can't stand that she's my Rep and I wish someone would run in the next primary against her.

2. Any word yet?

Any word on Rep. Bean's response to this yet?

[Bjornsdotter]

3. I'll be calling again later n/t

[Bjornsdotter]

4. Okay, so I made the call

.....and surprise, surprise. :sarcasm:

Rep Bean still has not made up her mind. However, spoke to a young intern and she said that she would also like to know where Bean stands on the issue.

Cheers

5. You might want to send out a massive email to get your friends and

family in the district to call her. Gotta keep the pressure on.

6. Bean isn't as bad as Costello

That's my "Democratic" rep. in Illinois and he voted against stem cell. I don't think Melissa Bean is that bad honestly. Does that mean I agree with her decision in this matter? Absolutely not. But we need to realize that even in 2006, which was obviously a strong year for that, she barely made 50%. This is a Republican district and her "advisors" probably feel that she'd be vulnerable on the "defense issue" if she didn't vote this way.

7. this was on my postition paper running as a write in against bean

The war in Iraq needs to end now. The military should be commended for a successful invasion, but the administration is criminally responsible for the invasion in the first place, the lie of the “Mission Accomplished” speech, forward, through today. The time-frame I envision is six days, six weeks, but not more than six months. The cost to Americans is too high, in terms of lives, dollars, and world-standing. The only people benefiting are defense contractors and the terrorists we are fighting.

but hey, i only got .02% of the vote
