Here is priceless video of Republican Congressman Aaron Schock of Illinois, the youngest member of Congress, saying today that he was not asked by a single constituent to vote for the Stimulus Bill, despite the fact he was put on the spot yesterday in his hometown of Peoria by President Obama to vote for the plan. Yesterday, Obama urged Caterpillar workers there to talk to Schock after the event and urge him to vote for it. Schock says in this speech that not a single Caterpillar worker did so. In fact, he said his office had received over 1400 phone calls from Caterpillar employees urging to vote against it!
This young man is very impressive. He could be one of the rising stars among Republicans in the years ahead. . . . . (Watch Video)

The people in the working class know this is a giant welfare bill destined to be placed on the backs of their kids and grandkids while this socialist psychopath we call a president takes us down the road to subservience.
Aaron, you’re blowing it...you’re not suppose to let everyone know that the Emperor has no clothes!
; )
Great stuff
As an IL resident, I am thrilled to know there may be hope on the way ;-) Especially given the sad state of the do-nothing Illinois Republican Party.
Hope this fellow has higher aspirations, we need more like him.
My Rep in congress.
