Got ahold of Kevin Brady's Conroe office yesterday. I asked her what Kevin's position on the Continuing Resolution through Sept. 2015. She did not know Brady's position on the CR. I told her that we want a short term CR, then when the new congress is sworn in, to formulate a budget as prescribed by the constitution. This woman passed the buck. Told me to call his D.C. office, they'd likely have an answer. So...I did.
Jason answered the phone. I asked the same question. He told me he had no idea Kevin Brady's position on a long term CR till Sept., but if I give my name and phone #, he'd have someone call me back.
I told Jason (at Kevin Brady's D.C. office) that I had spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and you promised to have someone call me back and no one ever called Jason. He went silent.
I then explained, we want a short term CR till the new congress is seated, then we want a budget as prescribed by the constitution. He said, “uh, what was it that you said?”.
So, pissed off at this point, I held my composure and politely repeated the above. Alright, I'll pass it on he said.
Both offices of Kevin Brady just basically blew me off. They both claimed they had no idea how Kevin Brady would vote on a long term CR.
Well, there ya have it. Just thought I'd share. They say one thing to get re-elected, and another to the peons after the election.
So, Brady’s staff is either lying that they don’t know his position on CR bills in progress or they are abysmally incompetent.
Thank-you for making the calls. Even though they seemed to be stonewalling you, I am sure they felt the pressure.
