This is the text of the contact mail I sent him:
If there is any truth to the leak that you’re being threatened with the closure of Offutt to insure your healthcare reform vote, then you need to immediately call a press conference and tell it to the public.
Bribing Senators with money for projects is bad enough, but threatening our national security to secure a vote for a healthcare plan that most Americans want no part of, is something altogether loathsome.
I would have to think it’s an impeachable offense, if true, and the story is already finding its way into the media. If the story has legs, I suggest you get ahead of it, and you become the hero who stands up for this country. Be the person who says we’re not going to take it anymore.
Using military base closings as a means of revenge isn’t new. Didn’t a bunch of bases in the San Francisco area get closed after the military got so much grief from now-Oakland Mayor Dellums?
