Senator Klobuchar

[bjb]

I attended a function this evening and Amy was the keynote speaker. She stated she wants the bush tax cuts ceiling to be one million dollars instead of the $250,000 that Obama wants.

She also discussed all the partisan politics going on in Washington and several times stated that the left has MSNBC and the right has Fox. I wanted to scream at her that at least Rachael and Olberman use facts instead of lies.

I did get a chance to tell her on her way out to make sure Social Security isn't tampered with. She said if the tax cuts are raised to a million dollars they won't be messing with Social Security. I told her I didn't believe her.

1. I called her office last week and was told that her position

is that Social Security should be looked at.

4. Right around State Fair time she said the Catfood Commission's

recommendations should be given an "up or down vote" (and no doubt a voice vote as well). I've tried to get answers from her office about where she is on raising the retirement age and/or cutting benefits but the only non-response response they'll give you is that she's against privatization.

Of course, she'll have a couple nice government pensions so this really isn't something she needs to worry about.

2. She really is kinda useless, isn't she?

I sure hope somebody challenges her in the primary next time up.

5. I agree.

3. Disturbing that she used the MSNBC vs. Fox mantra. The non-thinking person's position.

6. shameful she said the Left as MSNBC.... what a crock.

I really hope someone in DFL or a new FL runs against her.

She is beyond a disappointment. I new she was going to be moderate but I didn't know she was going to be a BLUE DOG.

7. by they way ,, thanks for posting what she said

We need more of that. People think she is a good Democrat who supports the middle and working class.

She isn't
