I’m so disappointed in Todd Rokita (R-IN). A lot of good rhetoric during the election, but his actions are defining him.
We’ll remember ya in the 2012 primary, Todd.
This is the email I just sent my Rep.
Message Subject: I’m disappointed in you.
Message Text:
Representative Rokita: I was hesitant to throw my support to you in the last election. Steve Buyer left some big shoes to fill. I knew that as SOS, you had let an ineligible candidate on the ballot. I listened and read the endorsements and reassurances of your supporters and eventually I decided to vote for you. I had hoped that you would live up to your election rhetoric, and wouldn’t have to call you or worry about how you would vote on crucial issues, such as the latest spending cut and debt ceiling proposals. I was wrong. So I’m telling you now, I would hope that as a conservative, you would not support ANY bill that raises the debt ceiling, or calls for new revenues (taxes). I would also hope that you are wise enough to understand that without DRASTIC, immediate spending cuts, our future as a country is going to disentigrate. I have two teenage daughters and I truely fear for their future. It is time for all Republican Representatives and Senators to decide whether they will fight for the TEA party principles, or continue the self perpetuation of the GOP elites. Rest assured we are watching your actions. Senator Lugar will be replaced in the primaries, and any other ineffectual office holders will be as well.” Yes I am mad. Not the “you kissed my girlfriend” mad, but rather the, “consider this a divorce” mad. So to borrow from Speaker Boehner, you had better get in line...and not the RINO one!
