I just emailed him my thanks. Tried to call my rep. to tell him that Boehner is representing me better than he does. But the line is busy.

off topic but i find fascinating - from twitter

The White House has drafted an executive order to allow indefinite detention of terror suspects without a trial, the Washington Post reports

I disagree. I didn’t know that the Feds are now going to mandate standard building codes on my house, so when I put an addition on it, I’ll have to do thousands of dollars of upgrades, just to keep the government happy. I suspected, but he confirmed my suspicions. Anyway, I think he’s doing a good job of exposing the foolishness of this bill. Besides, he might get to your point next, he’s only on page 146!

“I just wonder if ACORN would qualify for any of these grants.”

APPLUASE and laughter.

Oorah.

[conservativeinferno]

Even the DUmmies think the bill should be read.

he is VERY effective!

I'd say that's an understatement. Been a long time since I've seen a BIG DOG with teeth.

like you, my hat's off to Boehner.

[Katarina]

Go Boehner! He is doing GREAT!

[bluerose]

Right On!

[NautiNurse]

LOL—the previously missing amendment also includes noise pollution verbiage.

[mockingbyrd]

Just got through to my Rep. Told him, Boehner speaks for me. Cuz apparently, Brian Baird doesn’t know how he’s voting yet. HA!

[Munz]

all that was done, he is now VERY eloquently showing what was slipped in that would be voted on that no one knows.
he is ripping it up piece by piece doing a wonderful job!

he is set8ing the stage to make anyone who votes for it held accountable now.

[Munz]

he knows at the end of 2010, he will be a lame duck.

[PerConPat]

Best I have ever seen Boenher.

Yes, a very solid performance of a thankless task that even he said he hated to perform. But he is right on the money to provide the context in which the 0309 crap was submitted to the House.

[spectre]

this is just the last 300 pages that were inserted last night that no one could have read yet.

Yes, but still his style in simply translating the stupidity of what's in the paragraphs of this amendment should be used by the others...in the Senate if we must.
