I don’t think you need talking points, just be honest. Do you know people who are out of work? Do you know people whose houses are being foreclosed upon? Do you know people who are worried about whether inflation is going to be eating away the cost of what little savings they have left? If so, ask how tonight’s speech is going to help them.
When Washington gets serious about our debt, our unemployment rate, our inflation and our security, maybe we will pay more attention to them but, for now, I don’t see many people in Washington listening to us - from either party.
I got an e-mail today from my Republican congressman and he wants a pat on the back for introducing a bill to stop earmarks named after members of congress. It’s well and good but it’s not going nearly far enough. We need members of congress who care more about this country than their own vanity and there are but a rare few in Washington that have the right priorities.
BTW, good luck and have a DVR rolling.
The only transparency we are getting from this administration comes when you try to board an airplane.
