I’m sorry to say he’s the rep. in my district. For reasons I don’t understand it’s mostly Democratic, very few Republicans. I’ve only lived in this district 5 years but I’m confused why the people keep re-electing him, much less why anybody would vote Democrat in the 1st place. He got a few hundred thousand dollars for road repair for the lake I live at, and spent it all at the county seat a half hour away. Pandering for votes in a larger populated area. The letter I got from him on health care just basically repeated Obama’s talking points - if you like your insurance you should keep it, etc. I will actively campaign for his Republican opponent in 2010, whoever it may be. He announced dates for 2 healthcare townhall meetings at a town a half hour from me, and I planned to go. Then he announced he was going to do a conference call. He’s going to phone it in.
Sorry about your "gain" of Chet Edwards.
I’m running for Congress against Chet Edwards. http://www.timothyforcongress.com We need a conservative representative. This is the most conservative district in the nation with a liberal democrat in office. In the last Congress, Chet voted with Nancy Pelosi and her party 96% of the time. Liberal Maxine Waters from California voted with her party 95.9% of the time. Chet Edwards is a more consistent liberal than Maxine Waters.
He had an “F” rating with the NRA before he was redistricted.
He has an “A” rating with NARAL for consistently voting for abortion, including partial-birth abortion.
Listen. Keep the faith. I’ve been up and down this district since February talking with the people of Dist. 17. People are fed up and ready to take back their gov’t. This is a different election cycle coming up, and Chet is worried. He SHOULD BE. What he’s worried about is Y-O-U.
His “I brought 10 million dollars to the district to ensure that the sun rises tomorrow” schtick is old and worn out. It doesn’t fly in the face of the SIX TRILLION DOLLARS in new debt and spending that he voted in favor of since last Oct.
This is Chet’s last term in office. I’m sure Nancy Pelosi’s ideological soulmate choice for VP won’t have a problem finding work with the rest of the socialists in this Administration.
