Who are your Milk Carton Politicians?

Earlier today, I noted that New Hampshire’s media had taken notice that their Congressional delegation had gone missing during the August recess, rather than hold town-hall meetings to face their constituents about the health-care reform package. I joked that they had put Paul Hodes, Carol Shea-Porter, and Jean Shaheen on milk cartons, a reference to the admirable effort of milk producers to help find missing children. Green Room contributor Patrick Ishmael at AIP’s blog noted that Missourians needed to put a picture of Ike Skelton on a few milk cartons, too: The approach of Missouri represenatives to dealing with the outcry against the health care bill has run the gamut. In St. Louis, Rep. Russ Carnahan has held three disastrous public events. In Lee’s Summit, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver — no doubt influenced by the experiences of Carnahan and others — held a “tele-town hall” and a morning coffee, taking no questions from the audience, all the while insisting that “there is no health care bill” to talk about anyway.

Leave a trail for them to follow to the town hall. They may not remember how to get there:

Debbie Halvorson, 11th district, Illinois. She beat the AWOL republican Jerry Weller in November. The 11th was a stalwart repub district but a lot of dems from Cook Co. and Chicago have moved out this way. She is vulnerable in 2010.

Mine is Robert P Casey Jr, “United States Senator for Pennsylvania”. He has nerve placing this title after his name. Has yet to answer my e-mails on how he stands regarding health care or when he is scheduling a Town Hall. I have no use for Specter, but at least he's been out meeting with people.

Forget the milk cartons. There’s enough missing Congress critters to put their faces on the side of cows.
