From this table, you can get a flavor of which are the top industries giving to the candidates running for Congress in your district. Do the industries match your local economy, or are they more Washington-based? If the latter, the candidate may have divided loyalties on issues where the interests of their cash constituents conflict with those of the voters who elected them.

But be nice and polite about it.
Greetings AmericanInTokyo:
Called Representative Wilson’s office today. The lady was polite, assured her I’ll be protesting this unconstitutional government takeover outside the office Wednesday. Hope 50 people might join me.
Cheers,
OLA
I will do what I can from here.
Like I said, be polite, but firm, and put the Fear of the People into them, in a productive and clever way.
Storm the damned places.
But be nice and polite about it.

Why? What have we got to lose?
They are almost all SMILING.
Folks, what is there to smile about at a time like this!!!???
For a zero hour planning event, Ironton went very well. Mrs. OLA was convinced I'd be the only Tea Party attendee. Our Ironton Tea Party piggybacked off of the Ohio Liberty Council Marietta 912 Project effort. AM 800 WVHU morning host Tom Roten interviewed me at 06:30 Wednesday. BTW, one can catch Tom Roten's Internet simulcast daily.
Nineteen people stopped by for the "Tea Party" at Representative Charlie Wilson's Ironton Office between 11 and 1 on St. Patty's Day. Mr. Phillip Roberts, the Ironton office legislative aide, was very cordial. On behalf of the Tea Partiers, we presented a petition of twenty signatures in opposition to this government-run health care fiasco.
It was a great time for networking, while seeding a new grass roots movement in Ironton. We even remembered to take one photograph before the Tea Party ended.
Cheers,
OLA
I’m glad you all did this. According to Hannity’s website Charlie the “not so liberal I’m a moderate” eventhough he’s 97% voting with Pelosi communist, recently changed his position on the HELLth care bill from leaning no to leaning yes. He teters and taughters in the middle for a while but always ends up heavy on the left. I hope he losses BIG in November.
I think he used to be or even still is in the funeral business. No wonder why he wants this bill to pass- more business for him!
Rush just targeted Charlie today. Charlie better keep his business license active; our Tea Party will soon become a “throw the bum out” party.
